Product Insights
The Calista Open Ring by Leticia Ponti is an 18k gold-plated brass ring with hand-selected smoky quartz and cubic zircons, featuring a 24k plating certified 3 microns by a Parisian luxury atelier. It originates from hand-drawn sketches by a founder who has made jewelry since childhood, with the brand rooted in ethical production—every workshop is personally audited for zero child labor and employee well-being, and stones are ethically sourced. Priced at $250 CAD, it offers genuine smoky quartz and French craftsmanship at a value undercutting comparable designer open rings. The adjustable open ring fits a range of finger sizes with gentle adjustment, but requires careful handling to preserve the plating and prevent band deformation. Durability caveats include susceptibility to scratching, chipping, and facet wear, and prolonged sunlight can bleach the stone. The ring is stocked at Printemps Haussmann in Paris.
Verified claims
- Heritage
- The Calista ring originates from hand-drawn sketches by a founder who has made jewelry since childhood and sells at Printemps Haussmann.
- Craftsmanship
- 18k gold-plated brass with hand-selected smoky quartz and cubic zircons; 24k plating certified 3 microns by Parisian luxury atelier.
- Ethics

- Stone sourcing
- Smoky quartz stones are hand-selected by the designer from a trusted supplier network, and the cubic zirconia accents are simulated.

- Stone pairing
- Warm yellow gold complements the smoky quartz’s neutral grey-brown color harmoniously.
- Stone selection
- Stones are hand-selected by the founder-gemologist for brilliance and consistency, with natural variations making each ring unique.
- Retail presence

- Brand story
- Leticia Ponti hand-draws designs and audits workshops for ethical compliance.
- Design story
- Bohemian design rooted in founder's real childhood and fine arts education, hand-drawn and handcrafted in France.
- Storage

Compared within this brand.
| Calista Open Ring: Choose this if you want a handmade-in-France open ring with a gold-tone look, featuring three large oval smoky quartz stones surrounded by small cubic zirconia halos. It is crafted in 18k gold-plated brass with a 3 micrometre plating, has a 7 mm wide textured band, and comes with a signature pouch. Note that it is offered in a single ONE SIZE fit in the Assorted color option, so confirm the open U-shaped band suits your finger before buying.[1,2] | Mady Open Ring: Choose this if you want a statement ring with colorful semi-precious stones: it pairs two polished gold-plated brass bands (3-micron plating) with bezel-set teardrop stones in assorted shades along a 12 mm wide front, and it is handmade in France with a signature pouch included. The open back creates a gap that can give some flexibility in fit, though it comes only in a one-size option, so it suits shoppers comfortable with an unadjusted single size. Note the ring's materials are gold-plated brass rather than solid gold.[3,4] | Elvira Ring: Choose this if you want a delicate, feminine ring with a shimmering cluster look: a small pink-to-purple tourmaline-style center stone surrounded by tiny clear zircons on a thin 18k gold-plated brass band with a beaded metal texture. It is handmade in France, comes with a signature pouch, and is offered in sizes 52 and 54 in an Assorted color. Note the band is gold-plated brass rather than solid gold, with an 8 mm width.[5,6] |
