The head is a plain four sided basket that tapers to a V where it meets the shank, so the setting appears to grow out of the band rather than sit on top of it. No pave, no milgrain, no hidden halo. The design is entirely proportion and edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy this ring works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA flat band with square edges catches light along two hard lines, one at each edge, instead of the single soft highlight a rounded band produces. Those two lines run parallel to the long sides of the emerald cut, which reinforces the rectangular geometry of the stone rather than fighting it. It is a small decision that changes how the whole ring reads, and it is why a flat edge band suits a step cut better than a comfort fit half round does.\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\u003eFour claw prongs hold the corners of the emerald cut in a plain four sided basket, open on all sides, which narrows into a V shaped junction where it meets the shank. The band has a flat outer face with square edges and a comfort rounded interior. Band width is approximately two millimetres, the same all the way around. Metal is solid throughout with a polished finish.\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 flat face enough surface to show real colour, and the square edges keep it looking modern rather than heavy. Rose gold does the same warmer. White gold and sterling silver make the edges read sharper still. 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. A flat edge band sits slightly tighter than a rounded one at the same nominal size, so if you are between sizes go up. Contact us before ordering and we will talk it through.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith no pave and no gallery ornament, this is among the easiest rings to keep clean. Wash with warm water, mild dish soap and a soft cloth, brushing under the basket where dust settles. Rinse and dry with a lint free cloth. The flat face will collect fine surface marks over years, and a jeweller can repolish it in minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuestions people ask\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a flat edge band?\u003c\/strong\u003e A shank with a flat outer surface and squared off edges, rather than the domed profile of a traditional half round band. It reads more architectural and pairs cleanly with step cut stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it comfortable?\u003c\/strong\u003e The inside is rounded even though the outside is flat, which is the standard way this profile is made. Most wearers find no difference in comfort from a domed band.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it stack with a wedding band?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, and a flat edge band stacks flush against another flat band with no gap, which a domed profile cannot do.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich metal should I choose?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yellow or rose gold to make the most of the broad flat face. White gold or sterling silver for the sharpest edge definition. 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.
