This ring in a classic style with a hint of vintage builds a full halo of fourteen small cubic zirconia stones around a rose quartz. This setting brings out the warmth of the stone and optically enlarges it on the hand. The cabochon, with its smooth, domed surface, catches the light differently with every gesture - up close you can see delicate glimmers deep within the pink, while turning the hand makes the colour appear more saturated. A stone like this, clean and free of cloudiness, is easy to overlook in a shop display case, yet another one just as fine is hard to find afterwards.

The rose quartz for this ring was hand-picked for its clarity and depth of colour, so quality goes hand in hand with a sensible price. Prices for silver and good coloured stones are steadily rising, so buying a piece like this today makes financial sense. The ring is made of refined European 925 silver, coated with a layer of rhodium - a hard metal resistant to scratching, thanks to which the shine lasts a long time and the surface does not darken over time. The alloy contains no nickel, the metal responsible for most allergic reactions, so the piece can be worn without worrying about irritation. On the inner side of the band you will find the French maker's mark - proof of the silver's origin. In many jewellery traditions rose quartz has been associated with love, tenderness and harmonious relationships, which makes it a popular choice as a gift.

The big size of the stone and the halo of cubic zirconia pair well with simple outfits. A soft cashmere or cotton sweater in shades of beige or powder pink lets the stone catch the eye without competing with a patterned garment. In a monochromatic look - a light sweater, trousers in the same tone - the ring becomes the natural focal point that draws the eye with every movement of the hand. It weighs 4.1 grams, so it feels light on the finger despite its bold, full form.
