A jade cabochon opens up this engagement ring with a classic, calm line. The smooth surface of the stone catches light differently than faceted cuts - the shine doesn't break across angles but spreads softly across the whole surface, revealing the depth of the green hue. A single cubic zirconia is set beside the stone, adding a discreet sparkle without taking attention away from the jade. The big size of the band emphasizes the scale of the stone and sits well on a hand with a more pronounced gesture.

Only a small part of the raw material reviewed makes it into production - purity of colour and freedom from flaws matter, which narrows the choice down to truly good specimens. Prices of silver and other precious metals are rising, and good jade stones are becoming harder to find, so buying at this price makes sense today. The ring is made of pure, refined sterling silver 925 - European refining yields an alloy free of nickel, the metal most often responsible for allergic reactions, so the piece does not cause allergic reactions. A rhodium layer protects the surface from tarnishing and scratches, so the shine stays clear for a long time. The silver is stamped with the French maker's mark, attesting to its origin.

In the city it pairs well with jeans, a white shirt and a leather jacket - the ring's simple, classic form doesn't get lost in an everyday, casual style. The green jade livens up muted outfits without needing extra adornments on the hand. This ring wears naturally - on the hand around a cup of coffee or while zipping up a jacket, the jade always catches the eye.
