This rose quartz ring pairs a modern, clean band with the warmth of a stone in a soft, rosy hue. The faceted cut breaks light into small flashes that catch with every movement of the hand, while two cubic zirconia stones set to the sides add sparkle without drawing attention away from the main stone. It is a design created with engagement and weddings in mind, though its simplicity makes it easy to wear every day as well.

A rose quartz of this quality, with a pure, saturated colour and no visible flaws in the facets, is easy to overlook and hard to replace once gone. Silver and precious metals keep rising in price, and good stones of this calibre are becoming increasingly rare, so buying now makes sense from a price standpoint too. The ring is made of refined European sterling silver 925, coated with a layer of rhodium - a hard, resistant metal that protects the surface from tarnishing and scratches, so the shine lasts longer and cleaning is rarely needed. The pure alloy, free of nickel and other irritating additives, is safe even for sensitive skin. The metal bears the French maker's mark - a legally protected mark registered with the assay office, attesting to its origin. Rose quartz has for generations been associated with love, tenderness and harmonious relationships, which fits well with its engagement and wedding character.

For everyday wear, the ring looks best with a soft, chunky knit sweater, in a monochromatic pairing - beige on beige or grey on grey - where the pink stone gently lifts a calm palette. It also works well with a simple shirt with the sleeve rolled up, when the hand rests casually on a table. Its small size and weight of 2.1 grams mean the ring leads the hand rather than weighing it down.
