It is a bold statement ring with a large oval stone set flush in a bezel at the centre, framed by shoulders that are deeply carved with a floral and scroll pattern. The metal has an antiqued silver tone, with the carving shaded in the recesses, so the band reads detailed and old world rather than plain. The stone you see at the top changes with the colour you choose.

There are four looks. Blue and white is a deep blue lapis style stone with pale veining and flecks. The green option is a cat's eye stone that draws a single soft line of light across its surface. Blue sand is a dark sparkling stone with tiny points of light through it. Wood grain is a warm brown tiger eye with banded movement. Each one sits in the same carved band.

The green stone shows chatoyance, a natural look where a bright line of light appears to float across the surface and shift as you turn your hand. It reads like the slit of a cat's eye, which is where the name comes from. The other stones do not draw that line, they each have their own colour and depth instead, so pick the green if the moving light is what you are after.

The band is a plated alloy in an antiqued silver tone. The shoulders are deeply engraved with a floral and scroll design, and the recesses are shaded darker so the pattern stands out. The stone sits in a raised bezel at the top rather than on prongs, which keeps the centre held close and framed by the carving on either side.

The ring comes in sizes seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven and twelve. If you already know your ring size, pick that number. If you are not sure, measure a ring that already fits the finger you have in mind against a size chart, and choose the closest number. Because it is a bold band, many people wear it on an index or middle finger where there is room for the stone.

It is an unisex statement ring. The wide carved band and large stone give it presence, so it suits anyone who likes a bold piece on the hand. The size range from seven to twelve covers smaller and larger fingers, and the four stone choices range from a soft green cat's eye to a darker blue sand, so you can pick a look that fits your style.

You can wear it day to day, but treat it gently. Keep it away from heavy water, swimming, perfume and lotion, since these can dull a plated finish and the stone over time. Take it off before washing up or showering, and store it dry. Worn this way and wiped now and then with a soft cloth, it stays looking its best for a long time.

Wipe the ring with a soft dry cloth after wearing, working gently around the carved shoulders to lift any dust from the recesses. Avoid harsh cleaners and ultrasonic machines, which can be hard on a plated band and a set stone. Stored dry and kept away from chemicals, the antiqued detail stays crisp and the stone keeps its polish and depth.
