Circles Sterling Silver Cocktail Ring with Rose Garnet

This handmade sterling silver cocktail ring combines Japanese-inspired etched textures with a deep rose-red rhodolite garnet gemstone. Bold yet refined, the asymmetrical design balances richly detailed surfaces with a softly luminous natural stone. One ring in one size only available This silver garnet cocktail ring was one of Simone's personal favourite jewellery designs for many years and remained in her collection long after many other pieces had disappeared. Although eventually retired from the range, this particular ring quietly remained in Simone's own jewellery box. The irony was that although it was one of the pieces she loved most, she never made one small enough to comfortably fit her own hands. Rediscovered lurking in her own jewellery box during the creation of the From The Archives range, the ring was carefully refinished and made available to someone who can wear it. The circular sterling silver dish is etched with a Japanese-inspired circles pattern featuring a delicate halftone-style dotted texture. The layered surface detailing creates subtle tonal variation across the silver, giving the ring depth without overwhelming the design. Set slightly off-centre within the dish is a facetted natural rose garnet gemstone, also known as rhodolite garnet. Unlike the darker tones often associated with garnets, rhodolite has a warmer rose-red colouring with a softer, more luminous quality that pairs beautifully with bright silver. The asymmetrical placement of the gemstone gives the ring a more relaxed and contemporary feel, while the handmade sterling silver band has been finished with a lightly hammer-beaten texture that catches the light beautifully. The entire ring has a bright polished finish that highlights the contrast between the etched textures, hammered surfaces and smooth gemstone setting. Garnet is also the traditional birthstone for January. Explore more designs in the January Birthstones collection. Please note: there is only one size available for this ring - size 9 (R 1/2).
