Delicate and distinctly classic, this engagement ring centres on a single big rose quartz cabochon, set in silver alongside one cubic zirconia that adds a touch of sparkle with every movement of the hand. The rose quartz here has a soft, warm colour, without a trace of cloudiness - the stone's clarity and transparency catch the eye immediately. For generations it has been associated with love, tenderness and harmonious relationships, which explains its place in engagement rings. Only a small fraction of the sorted raw material makes it into the setting, because what matters is colour and clarity, not the size of the stone alone.

The rhodium coating on the silver protects it from tarnishing and scratches, so the ring keeps its shine for a long time and needs little care. The refined European silver is sterling silver 925, which confirms the purity of the alloy and the absence of nickel - the metal does not irritate the skin even with everyday wear. The silver bears a maker's mark registered with the French assay office, attesting to the origin of the metal. Silver prices are rising, and good, clear stones are becoming scarcer, as their availability is limited by nature itself. This is a good moment to choose this ring at a reasonable price.

It comes into its own best in a total-black styling - against a black turtleneck or a simple black top, the rose quartz becomes the single warm accent on the hand. The classic form and the larger size of the stone pair well with a resting gesture, whether the hand lies quietly on a table or holds a glass. The ring suits minimalist office looks as well as understated evening outfits. At 3.5 g, it wears without any feeling of weight, and the rose quartz remains the true centrepiece of the whole composition.
