Product Details
The Alyssa is crafted entirely from solid precious metal — choose from 14k Yellow, White, or Rose Gold, or step up to Platinum for the ultimate in density and durability. There are no plated surfaces or filled shortcuts here; every millimeter of the 1.8mm band is the real thing.
At the heart of this ring sits a natural smoky quartz in a 10mm × 8mm emerald cut — a shape celebrated for its long, clean lines and dramatic step facets that draw the eye deep into the stone. Smoky quartz's warm, translucent brown-grey tone is entirely natural, meaning no two stones are perfectly identical.
The band wears a polished finish that creates a mirror-bright surface, allowing the metal to reflect light and complement the smoky quartz without competing with it. This luminous finish works beautifully across all four metal options, from the warm glow of rose gold to the cool brilliance of platinum.
The Alyssa is a classic solitaire — a single stone, elevated, with nothing to distract from it. This minimalist approach lets the emerald cut quartz carry the full visual weight of the ring, making it equally at home as an everyday statement piece or a sophisticated special-occasion ring.
Getting the right fit is especially important for a slim 1.8mm band, so take a moment to measure carefully before ordering. Use our Rosie Ray Ring Sizer for the most accurate result — Find your size.
To keep the polished metal gleaming and the smoky quartz at its best, clean The Alyssa gently with warm water, a drop of mild dish soap, and a soft-bristle brush, then pat dry with a lint-free cloth. Remove the ring before swimming in chlorinated water or applying lotions and perfumes, as prolonged exposure can dull both the metal's finish and the stone's natural luster.
Before You Buy
The honest answers
Yes — the centerpiece is natural smoky quartz, not lab created glass or a simulant. The warm, earthy brown-gray tone and subtle depth you see come from the stone's genuine mineral origins, making every ring uniquely its own.
The 10mm x 8mm emerald cut gives the stone a striking, architectural presence that photographs can only partially capture. In person, the quartz has a rich, translucent depth — ranging from a soft champagne-brown to a deep smoky gray depending on the light — and the polished band amplifies that glow beautifully.
Yellow gold warms up the smoky quartz and leans classic; rose gold brings a romantic, rosy contrast; white gold gives a cooler, modern pairing; and platinum is the most durable precious metal with a naturally white tone that won't fade over time.
Like all fine precious metal jewelry, 14k gold and platinum can develop light surface scratches with everyday wear — that's normal and expected. Over time, many wearers appreciate the soft patina it develops, but a jeweler can polish it back to a high shine whenever she likes.
14k gold and platinum are both excellent choices for sensitive skin. Platinum is hypoallergenic and pure enough to cause virtually no reactions.
Soak the ring in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap, then gently brush with a soft toothbrush to remove any buildup around the stone setting. Rinse thoroughly, pat dry, and avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, or abrasive cloths that can cloud the quartz or dull the polish.
A 1.8mm band is delicately slim — many women find it barely noticeable on the finger, which makes it ideal for all-day wear, layering with other rings, or pairing with an engagement ring.
Getting the size right matters most for a ring you'll wear every day. Ring size can fluctuate daily so take several measurements throughout the day to nail down that size. Use our Rosie Ray Ring Sizer for an accurate result: Find your size.
