The Sherman jewellery I adore is set with wonderful Swarovski stones. And while many vintage costume jewellery designers used high quality Czech and other Austrian stones, Swarovski has long been considered the best crystal out there. Which is one reason why I’ve been perplexed at some of the designs they’ve chosen to market in the past. They’re either unbelievably gaudy or puzzling looking mall jewellery designs at Tiffany prices.

But there’s something about this ring that I really like. I tried it in the store and it sits properly on the hand, not too high or too thick on the finger. And it was just the right amount of sparkle without tipping over into a “take me to the disco!” look. As they say on their site, it’s a fun complement to a breezy summer wardrobe. CDN $290.
