The pattern is deliberately sparse: a marquise laid lengthwise, then a round, then a marquise, with clear metal showing between each, stopping well before the back of the ring. A small accent also sits beneath the setting where the head meets the shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy this ring works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the restrained version of a marquise and round eternity band. Rather than covering the shank, the pattern is used sparingly on the shoulders only, on a band under two millimetres wide. That keeps almost all the visual weight on the centre stone while still giving the shoulders something to do. It is the arrangement to choose if you like the alternating rhythm but want a ring that reads as a solitaire rather than as a set band.\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 an open gallery, with a single round accent set beneath the head where it meets the shank. Marquise cut and round brilliant moissanite accents alternate along both shoulders, each claw set with plain polished metal between them, ending well before the base of the ring. The shank is petite and round, approximately one point seven 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, keeps the spacing between accents visible, which is the whole point of a sparse pattern. Rose gold does the same warmer. White gold and sterling silver pull the accents closer together visually and the pattern reads denser than it is. 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. The plain back of the shank leaves room for minor adjustment later, which is one advantage of stopping the pattern at the shoulders. Contact us if you are unsure and we will help before production starts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFar easier to keep clean than a fully set band, but each claw setting still collects lint. Clean every few weeks with warm water, mild dish soap and a soft toothbrush, working around each accent and under the head where the hidden accent sits. Rinse and dry with a lint free cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuestions people ask\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is this different from a marquise eternity band?\u003c\/strong\u003e Coverage. This one places the alternating pattern on the shoulders only, on a much slimmer shank, so the centre stone keeps all the attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many accent stones are there?\u003c\/strong\u003e The alternating run is proportioned to your finger size and centre stone weight, so the count varies slightly while the spacing stays the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a one point seven millimetre band durable?\u003c\/strong\u003e In 10K, 14K and 18K gold it is fine for daily wear. Sterling silver at this width is softer and will show wear sooner, which is worth knowing before you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich metal should I choose?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yellow or rose gold to keep the spacing legible. White gold or sterling silver for a denser, brighter shoulder. 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.
