This amethyst ring brings a rich, purple hue to the hand - from deep purple to a cooler, bluish shade at the edges of the cabochon. The amethyst's cabochon cut is flanked by two small cubic zirconia stones, which add a delicate sparkle without taking away from the stone's leading role. It's a solitaire that blends the character of a signet ring with the classic line of an engagement ring - the modern, minimalist setting doesn't distract from the stone, it draws attention to its colour. In old jewellery tradition, amethyst was associated with calm and clarity of mind, treated as a symbol of balance.

For this piece, an amethyst of especially pure, deep colour was chosen - it was this quality that decided the choice of stone, while the quality of setting and craftsmanship remains reasonably priced. Silver and good coloured stones are rising in price, and clean amethyst specimens are becoming harder to find, so buying now makes sense price-wise. The ring is made of refined silver of European quality, sterling silver 925, coated with a layer of rhodium - a hard metal that protects the surface from tarnishing and keeps its shine for years to come. The alloy contains no nickel or other harmful additives, so the metal doesn't irritate the skin even with everyday wear. The piece bears the French maker's mark, which guarantees the metal's origin.

The small size and weight of 2.1 g mean the ring sits light on the finger and doesn't get in the way of everyday movement. In spring, it pairs well with a pastel trench coat, a silk scarf and a light-coloured handbag - the purple of the amethyst brings life to such muted, delicate combinations. It also works well as a ring for special occasions, when a simple form and a clear, well-defined stone matter most. This piece combines the classic solitaire line with a lightness that suits a modern wardrobe.
