Made to order · Cast after you order
Everyday pieces from the workshop that makes the red-carpet ones.
Narcisa Pheres has been making high jewellery since 2006. Essentials comes from the same bench and the same hands, in rings light enough to wear every day.
The collection
Twenty rings, and no hidden range behind them.
Emerald, ruby, sapphire and diamond, set into solid gold. One of each is finished and waiting; everything else is made after you order it.

20 pieces
Treated stones in this view: Clarity-enhanced with oil. Disclosed under the FTC Jewelry Guides, 16 CFR Part 23.22, which require a treatment to be named when it is not permanent, when it affects value, or when it calls for special care. Each piece's own page states its treatment in full.
Nothing in that combination.
Every ring is made to order — tell us what you want.

Worn together
Most people start with one and add to it
The bands are one and a half to two millimetres across — narrow enough that two or three sit on the same finger without crowding it, and narrow enough to wear beside whatever you already own.
Nothing is sold as a set. A stack is something you build over time rather than buy at once.

The bench
The bench in Hong Kong, and the hands at it
Narcisa Pheres and Ching, the jeweller who makes the Hong Kong pieces, over a tray of stones.
Every stone in the collection is looked at like this before it is set — one at a time, under a loupe, against the piece it is meant for. The house works at two benches, one in Istanbul and one in Hong Kong, and which of them made your ring is printed on that ring's own page rather than generalised across the site.
Stone and metal
Four stones, two golds.
Every piece in the collection is one of these stones set into one of these golds. Either way in narrows the twenty to what you asked for.
The stones
-
Emerald
4 piecesA beryl, green from chromium. Cut as baguettes and step cuts — the family of cut invented for this stone. One piece sets a tsavorite, a green garnet, beside it.
-
Ruby
4 piecesCorundum, red from chromium. The hardest thing after diamond, which is why it suits a ring worn every day.
-
Sapphire
4 piecesThe same mineral as ruby, with iron and titanium instead, and it reads blue. Pink sapphire is the same chromium in a smaller dose.
-
Diamond
18 piecesCarbon, and the hardest natural material there is. It takes the centre in the solitaires and flanks the coloured stones everywhere else.
Sizing
If the size is wrong, we remake it once
Not resized — remade. These bands are between 1.6 and 1.9 mm wide, too slender to cut and rejoin without leaving a mark, so a wrong size is answered with a second ring rather than a repair to the first.
How to arrive at a size without guessing
Measure a ring you already wear and like. Lay it on a printed millimetre rule, read the inside edge to inside edge, and match that diameter against the table below. Fingers are widest in the evening and in heat; measure twice, on two different days, and take the larger reading.
We no longer post a steel sizer. The printable one on the sizing page is calibrated against a bank card, which everybody has, and it arrives in the time it takes to print.

How a Pheres ring is made
01
You order
Nothing exists yet. The stone is chosen; the wax is not yet cut.
02
We cast it
At a named bench in Istanbul or Hong Kong. The piece's own page says which one made it.
03
It ships
On a date we name before you pay, not a range. Tracked, insured, signature required.
Order today and it leaves the bench Tue 22 September.
If the size is wrong, we resize or remake it once. Tell us within three days.
On the hand
Narrow enough to wear beside everything else
A ruby baguette between two brilliants, on a band made to your size rather than altered into it. Photographed on a hand at true scale, because a ring this small is easy to make look larger than it is.
