The cool blue of the aquamarine plays in this ring like a reflection of water under a bright sky - a calm yet striking colour, with no shadow of grey or cloudiness. The faceted cut breaks the light into fine glimmers, while two cubic zirconia stones set beside the main stone add extra sparkle without stealing attention from it. The shape of the ring is classic, refined in simple lines - it works well as an engagement ring, but looks just as natural on the finger during the wedding and afterwards, in everyday wear.

Aquamarine of this quality and clarity is rare to come by - a stone like this is easy to miss, and a second one with a similar colour is hard to find afterwards. Good stones are becoming increasingly scarce, and silver and precious metals are rising in price, so buying today makes sense financially. The ring is made of refined European sterling silver 925, coated with a layer of rhodium - a hard, resistant metal that protects the surface against tarnishing and scratches, so the shine lasts a long time. The alloy is pure, free of nickel and other allergenic additives, so it can be worn without worrying about skin irritation. The French maker's mark guarantees the quality and origin of the precious metal from which the ring was made.

On the hand, it comes into its own best against total black - with a black turtleneck or a simple blouse, the blue of the aquamarine immediately draws the eye and becomes the focal point of the look. It also pairs well with light, cool-toned jewellery in the same shade and with classic, understated outfits for special occasions. This is a ring that works equally well for an engagement and as a wedding band with character.
