The bezel is a clean unbroken rim following the octagonal outline of the stone, and it sits above the shank on a narrow neck so that daylight passes underneath it. Against a band this thin the setting appears to hover, which is where the design gets its character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy this ring works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eContrast in scale. The shank is deliberately fine, close to one and a half millimetres of round wire, while the bezel is a solid block of metal several times that. Placing a heavy geometric head on a nearly invisible band makes the stone read considerably larger than it measures, and the gap under the bezel keeps the whole thing from looking top heavy. This is the opposite approach to a wide band bezel, which anchors the stone into the metal instead of lifting it out.\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 of solid metal wraps the entire perimeter of the emerald cut, following all eight edges including the clipped corners, with a fine polished lip over the crown. The bezel is open underneath and raised on a short neck above the shank. The band is plain round wire, approximately one point five millimetres, the same width the whole 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 strongest contrast between the warm rim and the colorless stone, and the thin band nearly disappears against the skin. Rose gold does the same more softly. White gold and sterling silver let the rim recede so the stone reads as floating unsupported. 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 very thin round band runs slightly looser than a wide one at the same nominal size, so if you are between sizes go down. Contact us before ordering and we will talk it through.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA bezel has no prong gaps and a plain round band has nothing to trap dirt, so this is the simplest ring here to look after. Wash with warm water, mild dish soap and a soft cloth, running the brush around the join where the rim meets the stone and under the raised bezel. Rinse and dry with a lint free cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuestions people ask\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a thin band strong enough?\u003c\/strong\u003e In 14K, 18K and 10K gold, yes, for normal daily wear. In sterling silver a one point five millimetre shank is noticeably softer and will show wear and bending sooner, which is worth knowing before you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is the bezel raised off the band?\u003c\/strong\u003e The gap lets light in from underneath and keeps a heavy head from looking like it is sitting flat on a wire. It is also what allows a wedding band to sit closer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a bezel more secure than prongs?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. There are no claws to bend or catch, and the entire girdle of the stone is enclosed in metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich metal should I choose?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yellow or rose gold for a visible warm rim. White gold or sterling silver to make the rim recede. For daily wear over decades, 14K balances colour and durability best, and it is the sensible minimum for a band this fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Mapple Gems\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a made to order fine jewellery workshop.
