Silver runs across it in irregular strands that thicken, split and rejoin, leaving openings of no two matching shapes between them, and the top and bottom edges are left wavy rather than trued to a line. Six clear zirconia are set down among the strands — three larger at 1.8mm, three smaller at 1.1mm — sitting flush in the metal rather than raised above it, so they read as glints caught in the structure rather than as a row of stones. Every other surface is granulated rather than smoothed, which is what lets them show.

That ambiguity is the appeal, and the technique behind it is ancient: piercing a band is how metalworkers have always made a wide ring wearable, taking out the weight and the heat while leaving the width. A wide solid band of this size would be twice the metal and half as comfortable.

The engineered choice, not the cheaper one. Genuine 925 develops a soft grey patina that polishes off — green in the grooves means base metal underneath.

Are the stones real diamonds?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, and we would not describe them as such. They are six clear \u003cstrong\u003ecubic zirconia\u003c\/strong\u003e — three at 1.8mm and three at 1.1mm — set flush into the silver rather than held up on prongs. Zirconia is a lab-grown stone, cut and polished like a gemstone, far harder-wearing and brighter than glass or paste. It is not a diamond, and the price reflects that honestly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Why are the stones different sizes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause the lattice is irregular, so the spaces are too. Three of the openings take a 1.8mm stone and three take a 1.1mm, and scattering them at different scales is what stops the ring reading as a pave band with holes in it. They are meant to be found rather than counted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Is a 5.4mm band comfortable to wear?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMore comfortable than a solid band of the same width, which is the advantage of openwork. There is far less metal sitting against the skin, so it breathes and warms to the hand quickly, and the pierced structure has a little give that a solid wide band does not. Flush-set stones also mean nothing stands proud to catch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Will the openings catch on things?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe strands are rounded rather than cut square, so it is smoother in the hand than it looks. It will still snag loose knitwear and fine fabric, as any openwork ring does — worth slipping off before you pull on a jumper or handle silk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5. Does it need a UK hallmark?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. UK law requires assay hallmarking on silver articles of 7.78g and above; this ring is well under that, so it is exempt, and the S925 inside the band is the maker’s fineness mark rather than an assay office hallmark.

How do I find my size, and how do I clean an openwork matte band?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe band is left open at the back and flexes across the range in the table; ease it a little at a time, gripping the solid shoulders rather than the pierced section, and our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/jewellery-materials-care\/ring-size-guide-uk\" title=\"UK Ring Size Guide\"\u003eUK ring size guide\u003c\/a\u003e converts UK, US and EU sizes. To clean it, use a soft dry brush worked gently through the openings. Avoid silver dips and ultrasonic cleaners entirely: a dip strips the granulated matte back to shiny and takes the depth out of the texture, and neither is kind to set stones.
