Emerald Cut Moissanite Split Claw Tulip Basket Solitaire Engagement Ring

Emerald Cut Moissanite Split Claw Tulip Basket Solitaire Engagement Ring

Each of the four claws splits into two tines just below the girdle. The tines curl outward and then drop, meeting in a small collar where the head joins the band, so the whole setting reads as a tulip seen from the side.

The band itself is deliberately thin. Nothing is set into it and it does not widen at the shoulders, which leaves the stone and the curled gallery as the only things to look at.

How it compares

Our classic four claw emerald solitaire uses plain straight claws and an open trellis underneath, so from the side you see mostly daylight. This one puts real metalwork under the stone. The split tines and the tulip collar give the profile a shape of its own, which is worth having if the ring will often be seen from the side rather than from above.

Why an emerald cut

Long step facets make an emerald cut look like clear glass with a staircase inside it. It rewards a clean setting, because there is nothing to hide behind. A thin band and a slim head keep the attention where it belongs.

Wearing and stacking

The thin band leaves room on the finger for two wedding bands if you want them. A straight band sits flush, since the tulip collar sits above the band line rather than across it.

Made to order in Surat, India

Mapple Gems is a family run workshop in Surat. The split claws are sawn and curled by hand after the head is cast, which is the only way to get the two tines to match each other on all four corners. Every ring is made after you order, usually within 10 to 14 working days.

Care

Warm water, a drop of mild dish soap and a soft brush. Work the brush up into the tulip collar from underneath, where dust settles. Rinse and dry with a lint free cloth.

Questions buyers ask

Are split claws as strong as solid ones
Yes, at this scale. Each tine is short and sits against the crown facet, and the pair holds the corner from two directions instead of one.

Will a thin band bend
Not in normal wear. We keep the back of the band slightly thicker in section than it looks from the front for exactly this reason.

Can this ring be resized
Yes, by one to two sizes. The band carries no stones.

Is moissanite hard enough for daily wear
Yes. Moissanite is 9.25 on the Mohs scale, second only to diamond among stones used in jewellery.

Which finger sizes are available
Sizes 3 to 13 including half sizes. Message us before ordering if you need something outside that range.
