The story

The name and the cut come from the French for sugarloaf, and the palette from the South American light that stayed with the Argentine-born Fred Samuel. Introduced in 2013, the ring takes removable cabochons in topaz, rose quartz, amethyst, turquoise, mother-of-pearl or ebony that click into a gold mount, and the idea has spread to necklaces, earrings and bracelets.

    Solstice gives the big coloured stone a garnish that comes away, so one ring can be worn dressed or bare.
