The soft rose hue of the rose quartz settles into a rich, gentle patch of colour - from pale powder pink to a deeper, warm blush depending on the light. The cabochon's smooth, domed surface gathers that light rather than scattering it, so the stone looks like a polished pebble, warm to the touch and easy on the eye. The enameled silver setting has a silhouette straight out of boho, with a light, handmade character, and the big size means the ring sits well on the hand and catches the eye with every gesture.

We chose the stone for this piece for its colour and clarity - what mattered was an even, dense pink tone free of cloudy discolouration. Good stones of this quality are getting harder to find, since nature itself limits their supply, yet the ring's price remains accessible. The silver is covered with hand-applied enamel, and the silver itself is refined metal of 925 fineness, of European quality, free of nickel and other harmful additives, so the skin has no reason for irritation. The French maker's mark visible on the piece attests to the origin of this silver.

Rose quartz has long been associated with love, tenderness and harmonious relationships, making it a natural choice for an engagement or any other gesture of closeness. It also works well in everyday, urban outfits: paired with simple jeans and a white shirt, the pink cabochon brings a warm splash of colour, while on a hand in a leather jacket it contrasts with the material's rougher texture. It only takes one hand in motion for the stone to draw attention.
