Medea, Rubic and Yenne: Which Dark Side Ring Fits You?

Start with the stone, not the name

Medea, Rubic and Yenne are all sterling silver rings from the Dark Side collection, but they ask different things of your hand and your existing stack. The quickest way to choose is to decide how much visual weight you want on one finger. Medea leads with an 11x9mm pale Citrine on a pedestal of six bones. Rubic centers a hexagonal 8x8mm Smoky Quartz framed by oxidised vines. Yenne sets a 6.5×4.5mm deep red Garnet teardrop inside a beaded halo on a round band. Those supplied dimensions are your first filter: the larger the stone, the more the ring reads as a standalone statement rather than a subtle layer.

What the catalog confirms about each ring

• Medea: Medea features an 11x9mm pale Citrine held atop a sterling silver pedestal of six bones. The largest stone of the three makes Medea the strongest standalone piece if you want one ring to carry the look.

  

• Rubic: Rubic sets a hexagonal 8x8mm Smoky Quartz on a d-shaped band described as ultra comfortable and suitable for every day wear. If comfort and daily wear are non-negotiable, Rubic is the only one of the three with an explicit everyday-wear claim in the catalog.

  

• Yenne: Yenne sets a 6.5×4.5mm deep blood red Garnet teardrop within a beaded halo onto a round band. The smallest stone and beaded halo make Yenne the most stack-friendly option when you want color without overwhelming other rings.

How they wear and stack

The catalog gives clear stacking guidance for each piece, which is more useful than guessing from photos. Use these pairings as a starting point, not a rule.

• Medea: Described as a showstopper that sweeps the floor. Suggested stacking partners include newbie, V-Twin or Wishbone. Best if you want a focal ring that dominates the hand.
• Rubic: The oxidised vines and asymmetrical setting give it a nature-inspired, ethereal look. The catalog says it stacks perfectly with all wishbone rings as well as Bran.
• Yenne: The beaded halo and round band are designed to sit well with others. The catalog recommends stacking with Rebel and Wishbone.

Metal choice and what it means for your budget

All three rings are currently cast in solid Sterling Silver. Medea and Yenne are also available in 9ct gold, but the catalog lists gold as price on application due to bullion prices, so you need to email for a quote. If you want gold, factor in that extra step and likely higher cost. The silver versions are the only ones with listed prices in the catalog, which makes them the simpler starting point for most buyers.

Decision rules for your shortlist

• Choose Medea if: You want a single, dramatic ring with a large pale stone and bone detail, and you are happy to build a stack around it rather than hide it.
• Choose Rubic if: You wear rings daily and want a comfortable d-shaped band with a darker, oxidised finish and a hexagonal smoky stone.
• Choose Yenne if: You prefer a smaller, colorful stone that layers easily with existing bands and you like the contrast of deep red garnet against silver.

What the catalog does not tell you

The supplied records do not include ring sizes, band widths, care instructions or cleaning guidance for any of these pieces. That is a gap in the information available here, not a confirmed absence of that information from the brand. Before ordering, check the size guide on the product page and email [email protected] with any care or sizing questions. For gold pricing, the same email is the route the catalog gives. If you love a design but want a different stone, the catalog notes that Medea and Yenne can be made with alternative stones via email, so ask before assuming a sold-out stone is your only option.
