The Design
An 8 mm flat band with a single carved panel at the center: a leaf frond cut in relief, its veins running the width of the band. A channel of round stones runs down each side of the panel, five to a side, held in a milgrained edge.
The rest of the band is left plain. That is deliberate — a flat profile with a mirror polish reads as a classic men's wedding band from any distance, and the botanical detail only resolves close up. It is a quiet way to carry the same leaf motif the women's Viridian rings wear openly. Our guides to men's engagement rings and non-traditional men's wedding bands cover the wider category, and our width guide explains what 8 mm looks like on the hand.
Classic flat fit, not comfort fit — the inner wall is flat rather than domed, which sits flush against the finger and reads slightly wider than a comfort-fit band of the same measurement. If you are wearing it as an engagement ring, what hand an engagement ring goes on is worth a look — the convention differs for men in a lot of countries.
The Amethyst
Ten round natural amethysts run in two channels either side of the carved panel. Amethyst is the purple variety of quartz — 7 on the Mohs scale, hard enough for daily wear — and the color here is a true medium violet rather than the pale lilac of lower grades. Our February birthstone guide covers how amethyst is graded.
Set in channels against bright rhodium-finished silver, the purple reads as a line of color rather than a scatter — closer to inlay than to pavé. Amethyst is the February birthstone; what amethyst means is worth a read if the stone is the point.
Metal
The band is solid 925 sterling silver with a rhodium finish — the same platinum-group metal used on white gold, giving the bright mirror surface and shielding the silver from tarnishing.
Moissanite or lab-grown diamond accents are available as a custom order, as is this design in solid 14K gold.

Care
Clean with warm water, mild soap and a soft brush, paying attention to the channels where the stones sit. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and steam, and avoid abrasive polishes and chlorine, which wear the rhodium finish. Keep amethyst out of prolonged direct sun — strong light can fade the color over years.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the amethyst real?
Yes. The stones are natural, mined amethyst — the purple variety of quartz — not glass or simulated stone.
Is amethyst a birthstone?
Yes — amethyst is the February birthstone.
Is amethyst durable enough for a daily-wear band?
Yes. Amethyst is 7 on the Mohs scale and the channel setting protects the edges of each stone. Keep it out of prolonged direct sunlight, which can fade the color over years.
What is it made of?
Solid 925 sterling silver throughout, hallmarked, with a rhodium finish for a bright white surface. No brass or base metal.
Will the silver tarnish?
The rhodium finish acts as a barrier, so it resists the darkening untreated sterling develops. The finish does wear thin after years of daily wear — we can refinish the ring when it does.
Is this a men's ring or unisex?
Both. It is cut at 8 mm, which is a men's width by convention, but nothing about it is gendered — it is worn as a men's wedding band, a men's engagement ring, and as a wide unisex band.
What does classic flat fit mean?
The inside of the band is flat rather than domed. It sits flush against the finger and wears slightly wider than a comfort-fit band of the same measurement. Some people prefer the security of it; others prefer the rounded feel of comfort fit.
What sizes are available?
Sizes 7 through 13, including every half size.
Can I have it engraved?
Yes. Engraving is available on the inner band, up to 25 characters, and can be added as an option at checkout.
Does it match the women's Viridian rings?
Yes — the carved leaf panel is the same motif that runs along the shoulders of the women's Viridian engagement rings, so the two read as a pair without being identical.
Are the stones ethically sourced?
Yes. All Aquamarise stones are conflict-free and responsibly sourced, and every order arrives in a free luxury velvet jewelry box.
