This solitaire ring draws the eye with a deep, dark red garnet set in rhodium-plated 925 silver. The faceted cut breaks light into small, intense flashes, and the stone's colour shimmers with purple tones as the hand moves. The modern, understated band keeps the focus on the stone - it's the garnet that leads the eye when the ring appears on the finger. We select each garnet so that colour and clarity stay consistent across every piece, meaning this solitaire never carries a random, cloudy stone.

Rising silver prices and increasingly scarce good-quality stones make buying a ring like this a sound choice today, price-wise. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark struck on the silver, which attests to the origin of the metal. The silver itself is refined European silver, sterling silver 925, with high alloy purity, and the rhodium layer protects it from tarnishing, dulling and scratches, keeping the shine bright for years. The alloy contains no nickel, so the ring does not irritate the skin and can be worn without worry about skin reactions. At 2.5 g, the ring sits lightly on the finger and is almost unnoticeable.

The deep red of the garnet pairs well with a romantic look - a lace blouse, a powder-pink dress or an ecru sweater. Worn with such an outfit, the stone immediately catches the eye, standing out against a soft, pastel base. It also works well with a simple, solid-coloured shirt, when you want to add a warm, striking accent to your look. The modern shape of the solitaire makes it easy to wear every day, and the garnet's deep colour comes through most fully in natural daylight.
