This delicate, modern rose quartz ring pairs a simple band with a single cabochon in a soft, rosy hue. The cabochon cut doesn't scatter light into sparkle - it spreads it evenly across the stone's rounded surface, giving a calm, almost velvety effect with no sharp glints. This form works well as a solitaire, whether as a right-hand ring or an engagement ring, since a single stone in a simple setting needs no extra embellishment.

For this piece we chose a quartz with a pure, saturated colour and no cloudy patches - that's what determined the choice of stone, not its size. Silver and good coloured stones get more expensive year after year, so a selection like this at a sensible price makes sense today. The ring is made of refined sterling silver 925, free of nickel and other allergenic additives, so it can be worn without worrying about skin irritation. A rhodium layer protects the surface against tarnishing and scratches, keeping the shine lasting long while daily care stays minimal. The metal bears a maker's mark registered with the French assay office, which attests to its origin. Rose quartz has long been associated with love, tenderness and harmonious relationships, which fits well with its role as an engagement ring or right-hand ring.

This is an everyday ring for calm, layered outfits - an oversized ecru jumper, a wool scarf, a simple coat in cool grey. The pink cabochon draws the eye gently as a hand lifts a cup or fastens a coat button, without overpowering the rest of the look. The stone's small size means the ring wears comfortably and can be paired with other, thinner bands on the same hand.
