The faceted ruby draws a deep, saturated red into its facets. When light hits at an angle, short flashes of glow appear within the stone, bringing life to its dark colour. The ring is designed as a solitaire: the minimalist band doesn't pull attention away from the stone, but presents it in a simple, clean setting. Its very small form and weight of 1.7 grams mean the ring sits lightly on the finger, almost unnoticeable until it catches the light.

Only a small portion of the reviewed raw material makes it into a solitaire like this one - the rest is rejected during selection, leaving a clean, deeply red ruby free of flaws. Silver and other precious metals are rising in price, and good stones of this quality are becoming harder to find, so buying at this price makes sense today. The ring is made of refined silver 925 of European quality, a pure alloy free of nickel and other sensitizing additives, giving comfort even to sensitive skin. The rhodium plating is hard and scratch-resistant, so the metal's shine doesn't dull over time. The French maker's mark struck on the piece attests to the origin of the metal.

A ring like this works best in the evening, with a little black dress and a silk blouse, where the hand stays at the centre of attention - holding a glass or adjusting your hair naturally shows off the stone. The simple solitaire form pairs well with smooth, minimalist accessories, without an excess of sparkle around it. In such a setting, it's the deep red of the ruby that draws the eye, not the amount of jewelry on the hand. This ruby, well selected and cut, works as a lasting element of an evening look.
