This solitaire ring with rose quartz draws the eye with a calm, classic line. The cabochon sits in a simple setting, and light enters the stone and spreads through it in a soft pink glow, without sharp reflections. Before a stone reaches the setting, we examine each one individually and assess its colour and clarity - only flawless stones go into the ring. This minimalist form works well as a solitaire stacking ring, and on another occasion as an engagement ring.

Good stones are getting harder to find, and silver is rising in price, so a ring at this price makes sense today. It is set in refined European silver 925, plated with a layer of rhodium that protects the surface from tarnishing and keeps the shine lasting. The alloy contains no nickel, so the ring will not irritate the skin. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, which establishes its origin and is registered with the assay office in France. Rose quartz has long been associated with love, tenderness and harmonious relationships. That association makes the ring a fitting gift with personal meaning.

On the weekend, wear it with an oversized sweater in cool grey and a soft scarf tied over the shoulders - the pink hue of the stone lifts a muted outfit when the hand peeks out of the sleeve or wraps around a cup. It also suits a linen shirt and loose trousers when you want to keep a simple, everyday style without excess ornament. Its small size and weight of 2.3 grams mean the ring wears easily, never getting in the way of the hand's natural movement.
