Two cabochon-cut black onyx stones meet in a symmetrical composition on the hand, their deep, even black drawing in light rather than scattering it. Onyx has long been associated with strength, endurance and confidence, which suits the character of an engagement ring with a classic, ordered form. The medium size of the stones keeps the ring's profile elegant and slim on the finger, well suited to everyday wear.

Both onyxes were chosen for one even, matched colour, so the composition reads as calm and refined rather than accidental. Good stones of this quality are becoming rarer, and silver has risen in price in recent years, so buying at this price makes sense today. The ring is made of rhodium silver, refined European 925 silver of high alloy purity, coated with a layer of rhodium - a hard metal resistant to scratching that protects the surface against blackening and dulling, so the shine lasts long. The alloy contains no nickel, so wearing the ring does not cause allergies or skin irritation. The piece is signed with the French maker's mark, which establishes the origin of the piece and is registered with the assay office in France.

In spring it pairs well with a pastel trench coat and a silk scarf in a soft shade - the black of the onyxes stands out clearly against light fabrics and catches the eye with every gesture of the hand. Complete the look with a light-coloured handbag and a simple, single-colour sweater, so the hand wearing the ring stays the centre of attention. Its classic form and understated colouring mean it can be worn every day, not only on special occasions. It is a ring that quietly combines simplicity with the stone's distinct character.
