The amber cabochon in this ring has a rich, honey colour where light settles in layers and draws out the depth of the stone. Amber is fossilised resin, warm to the touch and in feel, which is why it has long been associated with sunny warmth and success. The large, striking cabochon and the modern, simple setting in rhodium-plated 925 silver create a form that works well as an engagement ring - bold, yet not showy.

For this piece we chose a stone with a clean, even colour and no discolouration, since that is what defines the character of the whole composition. Silver and good stones are rising in price, and amber of this clarity is becoming increasingly rare, so buying at this price makes sense today. The rhodium on the surface of the ring protects the silver against tarnishing and scratches, keeping the shine bright for years. The metal is pure, refined European silver, sterling silver 925, free of nickel and harmful additives, so it does not irritate the skin. The silver is stamped with the French maker's mark, which attests to its origin.

For an evening out, this ring pairs well with the little black dress and a silk blouse - in an understated look, it is the amber that catches the eye as the hand lifts a glass or smooths the hair. You can then skip extra rings and bracelets, leaving room for a single striking piece on the finger. The large size of the stone and the solid weight of 5.2 grams make the ring felt on the hand, while the rhodium-plated silver keeps its shine even after many hours of wear.
