The band itself stays plain and smooth from the front, so the sparkle only appears when the ring is seen from the side or from beneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy this ring works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cathedral shank is the arch you see in church windows, translated into metal. Instead of the band meeting the setting at a right angle, it sweeps upward and cradles the head from both sides. That does two things. It braces the centre stone against side impact, which matters for a long emerald cut, and it fills the space between finger and stone so the ring looks integrated rather than perched. Splitting the arch in two and setting pave along the inside edge adds light exactly where the eye travels when you look at the ring from the side.\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 above a gallery wire. A hidden halo of micro pave moissanite wraps the base of the crown. The shank rises in a cathedral arch and splits into two strands beneath the head, with pave set along the inner faces of the split. From the front the band reads as plain polished metal of approximately two millimetres. 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 cathedral arch a warm architectural weight. White gold and sterling silver make the pave and the centre stone read as one field of light. 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.

Clean every few weeks with warm water, mild dish soap and a soft toothbrush, brushing up into the arch and the hidden halo from below. Rinse and dry with a lint free cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuestions people ask\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a cathedral setting?\u003c\/strong\u003e A setting where the shoulders of the band rise in an arch to meet the sides of the centre stone, instead of joining it flat. It adds support and height, and it is one of the oldest ways of setting a large stone securely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this stack with a wedding band?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The higher profile leaves clearance beneath the head, so a straight band sits flush without touching the centre stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the pave visible from the front?\u003c\/strong\u003e Barely. It is set on the inner faces of the split arch, so it appears from the side and from above at an angle. That is deliberate, so the ring reads as a clean solitaire from across a room and reveals detail up close.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich metal should I choose?\u003c\/strong\u003e For maximum whiteness choose white gold or sterling silver. For warmth 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.
