This ring pairs a classic form with a halo of sixteen cubic zirconia stones that surround the amethyst like a ring of tiny sparkles. The amethyst, cut as a cabochon, shows a rich, dark purple with a violet tint visible under light. The halo around it draws attention to the centre of the ring, while the smooth dome of the stone keeps the eye from wandering to extra lines. In old jewellery craft, amethyst was linked to clarity of mind and inner balance - an association still carried along with the stone today.

Each amethyst for this ring is chosen for its even, deep colour, so every piece in this series looks consistent. Silver and good coloured stones get more expensive year after year, so buying at this price makes practical sense today. The ring is made of pure, refined European sterling silver 925, free of nickel and other additives that could irritate the skin. The rhodium coating on the surface protects the metal from blackening and dulling, so the shine lasts longer. The silver bears a French maker's mark registered with the assay office, which attests to its origin.

On the hand, it looks best styled in total black - a black turtleneck or a plain blouse without extra patterns creates a backdrop against which the purple cabochon and the small cubic zirconia stones immediately catch the eye. It also works well in a gesture, when the hand lifts a cup or a phone - the halo of cubic zirconia then catches light from every side. The classic form of this ring lets you wear it during the day with a simple sweater or in the evening with a sleek dress, always with the same distinct accent of purple on the finger.
