Anti-tarnish stainless steel carries the weight on this one, gold-plated and set with a round cubic zirconia centre stone flanked by smaller cubic zirconia accents along the band. It's a classic solitaire shape rather than a shaped motif, the kind of ring that reads as put-together without asking for a second look to explain itself.

Unlike the adjustable pieces in this shop's lower-priced range, this ring comes in fixed sizes 6, 7 and 8, each mapped to a specific diameter (1.6cm, 1.7cm and 1.8cm respectively), so it's worth checking a size before ordering rather than assuming a stretch fit. That precision is part of what a solid stainless steel base buys you over a soft, bendable band.

Stainless steel resists tarnish considerably better than the plated alloy used in this shop's cheaper rings, and the gold plating sits on top of that sturdier base rather than directly on something that corrodes. It arrives in a black velvet box, which makes it a straightforward gift on its own without extra wrapping.

Wipe it with a soft cloth after wearing and keep it away from harsh chemicals to help the plating hold its colour. At ₹249, the anti-tarnish base and the sized fit put this a step up from the shop's ₹59 adjustable rings, in build rather than just in price.
