This three-amethyst ring combines the classic line of a band with a bold rhythm of purple. The faceted cut breaks light into tiny facets, so with every movement of the hand the stones answer with a new flash, from deep purple to a lighter violet. Three stones set side by side form a subtle row that guides the eye nicely along the finger, without overwhelming the hand with their size.

Each amethyst is chosen for its colour and clarity - only stones with a rich, even tone and no cloudy discoloration make it into this ring. Silver and good coloured stones get more expensive every year, so a ring of this quality at this price is a sensible choice today. The band is made of pure, refined sterling silver 925, coated with a layer of rhodium, a hard metal that protects the surface from tarnishing and scratches, so the shine lasts long without frequent cleaning. The silver is stamped with the French maker's mark, attesting the metal's origin. The alloy contains no nickel or other allergenic additives, so the ring can be worn without worrying about skin irritation.

This is an engagement ring with a classic design, where a row of three stones stands in for a single solitaire. It looks best against total black - a black turtleneck or a simple black top lets the violet glow draw the eye to the hand. Amethyst has long been associated with calm and clarity of mind, and in many traditions it was seen as a symbol of inner balance. Such a choice captures well the character of an engagement gift.
