The faceted amethyst plays with deep purple, and its small facets catch the light with every movement of the hand. It's surrounded by twelve cubic zirconia stones, adding sparkle without stealing attention from the main stone. The ring's form is simple and modern - a design meant to work both as an engagement ring and as a promise ring, close to gestures that carry meaning. The purple of amethyst has long been associated with calm and clarity of mind, and in this context it's easy to read it also as a symbol of balance between two people.

Only a small portion of the reviewed raw material makes it into the setting - what matters is purity of colour and clarity of the stone, and the rest is rejected already at the selection stage. Thanks to this, at a relatively accessible price you get a stone with a clear, saturated colour and a carefully crafted setting. Silver and good coloured stones are rising in price, and amethysts of this quality are becoming rarer, so buying now makes sense from a price standpoint. The ring is made of refined sterling silver 925 of high alloy purity, coated with a layer of rhodium that protects the surface against tarnishing and scratches - the shine stays bright for years to come. The alloy contains no nickel, the metal responsible for most contact allergies, so the ring can be worn without worrying about skin irritation. The silver is stamped with the French maker's mark, which attests to the metal's origin.

In the city, it sits well on the hand with a simple white shirt and jeans, and a leather jacket thrown over the top gives the whole look a modern edge. It also works well with a turtleneck sweater and a loose coat - the purple of amethyst brings life to muted, everyday outfits. This is a ring that doesn't need an evening setting to draw attention with an ordinary gesture of the hand.
