This ring with a faceted emerald draws out a rich, deep green from the stone, with a cool, slightly bottle-toned hue. The facets catch light in single flashes that appear with every movement of the hand. The minimalist band keeps all attention on the stone - a solitaire setting where only the colour of the emerald and its intensity matter.

Every emerald in this collection was examined individually and hand-picked for clarity and depth of colour rather than size alone. Silver and precious metals are rising in price, and good stones of this class are becoming harder to find, so buying a ring like this now makes sense price-wise. At this price you get careful stone selection and precise finishing of the setting, rarely found in this range. The ring is made of pure, refined sterling silver 925, free of nickel and harmful metal additives, so even sensitive skin can wear it without irritation. The rhodium layer is hard and scratch-resistant, so the metal keeps its shine for a long time, and the European quality of workmanship shows in every detail of the setting. The piece is signed with the French maker's mark establishing its origin, registered at the assay office in France.

On the hand it works best in a total-black look - a black turtleneck or a simple long-sleeved top creates a backdrop against which the emerald becomes a point of light. A hand in a dark sleeve shows off the stone with every movement, whether reaching for a cup or adjusting your hair. This pairing works both for evening wear and for a more understated office look. At a light 2.0 g, the ring wears comfortably without weighing down the finger throughout the day.
