The deep, dark red hue of the garnet catches the eye at first glance. The faceted cut breaks light into small glimmers that catch with every gesture of the hand, while twelve cubic zirconia stones around it add a delicate sparkle without taking the spotlight from the main stone. A modern, slender band brings lightness and simplicity of form to this classic composition, making the ring equally fitting as an engagement proposal or a symbolic promise.

A garnet of such rich colour and clarity is easy to miss, and finding another with such an even tone is not so simple. The prices of good stones and silver keep rising steadily, so there is good reason to make the decision to buy today. Refined European silver, sterling silver 925, free of nickel and other harmful additives, can be worn without worry about skin irritation. A layer of rhodium protects the surface from scratches and loss of shine, and the European quality of craftsmanship shows in the precision with which every facet is set. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, which attests to the origin of the silver.

This ring sits well on the hand for a meeting in the city - under a trench coat and a thin turtleneck, alongside muted, neutral tones such as beige or charcoal grey. It is the garnet that draws the eye in such moments, while the simple form of the band never distracts from it. It works just as well over a cup of coffee as during an important conversation, when every gesture of the hand matters. Its small size and weight of 2.1 g make it comfortable to wear all day long.
