Description
Gaitani is the braided cord that edges the waistcoats and jackets of Greek traditional dress, and this ring has the same twist: two wires wound together into a slim band, 3 mm wide, that catches the light at every turn. It is our simplest ring and the easiest to give: in 925 sterling silver it suits a man as well as a woman, and gold-plated it stacks with everything. A closed band in EU sizes 48 to 60.

Materials & care
Gold-plated 925 silver
925 silver is 92.5% pure silver, alloyed with other metals for strength. Gold-plated means a thin layer of gold covers its surface, giving the warm yellow colour for a fraction of the price of solid gold. Because the layer is thin, it wears with time and friction, fastest where a piece rubs: the inside of a ring, a clasp, the back of an earring. Perfume, sweat, chlorine and salt water wear it faster. When the silver starts to show, the piece can be plated again. [PLACEHOLDER: owner to state the thickness and caratage of the gold layer, and whether the shop re-plates, and at what cost.]
925 sterling silver
925 sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver; the rest is other metals, which make it hard enough to wear. It has the bright, cool white of silver all the way through, so there is no layer to wear away. Over time it darkens in air and on contact with some foods, rubber and cosmetics; this is tarnish, a surface film that a silver polishing cloth removes. Wear it often and keep it in a closed pouch, and it stays bright. [PLACEHOLDER: owner to confirm whether silver pieces are left natural or rhodium-plated.]
Care
Dust and skin oils settle in the twist: brush it now and then with a soft toothbrush and warm, soapy water, then dry it well. On silver, finish with a silver cloth.
