{"product_id":"emerald-cut-moissanite-bezel-set-solitaire-engagement-ring","title":"Emerald Cut Moissanite Bezel Set Solitaire Engagement Ring in 2mm Band","description":"\u003ch2\u003eEmerald Cut Moissanite Bezel Set Solitaire Engagement Ring in 2mm Band\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn emerald cut moissanite enclosed on all four sides by a continuous wall of metal, with the corners of the bezel cut to follow the bevelled corners of the stone. There are no prongs anywhere. The band is a smooth 2 millimetre round shank that flows straight into the bezel, so the whole ring reads as one continuous piece of metal with a window cut into it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy this ring works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA bezel does three things a prong setting cannot. It protects the girdle of the stone completely, which matters most on a step cut where the outline is the design. It gives a clean geometric silhouette that suits the architectural character of an emerald cut. And it catches nothing, which makes it the setting of choice for anyone who works with their hands, wears gloves, or simply does not want to think about their ring during the day. The frame of metal also makes the stone read slightly larger from above, because the eye includes the bezel in the outline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCentre stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone type: Moissanite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: Emerald cut, elongated rectangular step cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Colorless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarity: VVS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut and polish: Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSymmetry: Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRefractive index: 2.65, higher than diamond, which is why moissanite throws more coloured fire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardness: 9.25 on the Mohs scale, hard enough for daily wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarat options: 2 carat, 3 carat, 4 carat and 5 carat centre stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSetting and band\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA full bezel wraps the emerald cut on all four sides with a bright cut inner edge that reflects light back into the stone. The corners of the bezel are mitred to match the corners of the step cut. The shank is a plain round band of 2 millimetres, flowing without a join into the underside of the setting. The profile is low, so the ring sits close to the finger and stacks flush with a wedding band. Metal is solid throughout with a polished interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMetal options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose from recycled 925 sterling silver, or solid 10K, 14K and 18K gold in yellow, rose and white. Yellow gold, as photographed, gives the strongest contrast between the warm frame and the colorless stone. White gold and sterling silver make the bezel almost disappear into the stone for a cooler, more modern effect. Rose gold sits between the two. White gold is rhodium finished.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRing sizing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery ring is made to order in your size. Sizes run from 3 to 13, including half sizes. If you are unsure, pick the closest size to your usual fit and contact us, and we will confirm it before production starts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA bezel is the easiest setting to keep clean because there are no prongs for grime to hide behind, but soap film does collect between the metal and the stone. Clean with warm water, mild dish soap and a soft toothbrush, working around the inside edge of the bezel. Rinse and dry with a lint free cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuestions people ask\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes a bezel make a stone look smaller?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. It covers the very edge of the girdle but adds a frame of metal around it, and most people read the outer edge of the bezel as the outline of the stone, so the ring looks slightly larger overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a bezel setting more secure than prongs?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, significantly. There is no single point of failure, nothing to bend, and nothing to catch on fabric. It is the standard recommendation for nurses, teachers, gardeners and anyone in a hands on job.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes less light reach the stone in a bezel?\u003c\/strong\u003e Slightly less than an open basket, which is why the inner edge here is bright cut and the back is left open. In practice an emerald cut relies on light entering the table rather than the pavilion, so it loses very little.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich metal should I choose?\u003c\/strong\u003e For maximum whiteness choose white gold or sterling silver. For a warm frame and strong contrast choose yellow or rose gold. For daily wear over decades, 14K balances colour and durability best.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Mapple Gems\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a made to order fine jewellery workshop.
