A deep, saturated garnet and an understated, minimalist form come together in a ring that needs no extra embellishment. The faceted stone, with its deep, dark purple hue, catches subtle flashes of light with every movement of the hand - in sunlight the red grows more intense, while in shadow the tone deepens and cools. This solitaire design works equally well as a right-hand ring or as an engagement ring - the simple band never draws attention away from the stone.

The garnet for this ring was chosen for its even, deep colour and clarity - free of inclusions that would dull its brilliance. Silver and good coloured gemstones are rising in price, so a garnet of this quality and price is worth considering now. Refined European 925 silver of high alloy purity forms the base here, free of nickel and other harmful additives, so the ring does not irritate or cause reactions on the skin. A rhodium layer protects the silver against tarnishing and scratches, so the shine lasts and everyday care is kept to a minimum. On the piece you will find the French maker's mark - attesting to the origin of the silver.

A ring like this suits a family celebration well - against an elegant dress, in the warm glow of candlelight and among classic accessories, the garnet on the hand takes on a deeper tone. During a toast or a handshake, it is the dark purple that draws the eye, despite the understated setting. Its minimalist silhouette means it can be worn both every day and on bigger occasions, without ever feeling overdone. Its small size and weight of 2.5 grams mean the ring sits lightly on the finger and is barely noticeable.
