Oval Moissanite Lotus Basket Pave Gallery Engagement Ring

Oval Moissanite Lotus Basket Pave Gallery Engagement Ring

Seen from above this is a quiet oval solitaire on a slim polished band. The detail lives underneath. The basket that holds the centre stone is shaped into four lotus petals, each petal filled with tiny round moissanite accents, so the stone appears to rest inside an opening flower rather than a plain metal cage.

It is a design for someone who wants the ring to hold a secret. From across a table you see a clean oval and a fine band. Up close, when the hand turns, the petal gallery catches the light and the small accents show through the openings between the petals.

How it compares

A hidden halo puts a continuous ring of accents under the stone. This lotus basket instead groups the accents into four petal shapes with metal and open space between them, which reads as a botanical detail rather than a band of sparkle. The plain slim shank keeps the whole ring light on the finger.

Wearing and stacking

The slim band and open gallery let a straight wedding band sit close without a gap. Because the petals sit high on the basket rather than low against the finger, they stay clear of a stacking band.

Made to order in Surat, India

Mapple Gems is a family run workshop in Surat. The petal gallery is carved and set by hand, which is why each ring is made only after you order, in the metal, carat and finger size you choose. Production usually takes 7 to 10 working days before dispatch.

Care

Rinse in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap and use a soft toothbrush to reach inside the petals, where dust tends to collect. Dry with a lint free cloth. Remove the ring before swimming or using household cleaners.

Questions buyers ask

Can the lotus petals be seen when the ring is worn
From directly above they are hidden behind the stone. They show clearly in profile and whenever you turn your hand.

Is a 1.6 mm band strong enough for a large stone
Yes. The basket carries the weight of the centre stone and the shank thickens slightly where it meets the gallery. If you prefer a heavier feel, our rounded 2 mm styles are a better match.

Do the petal accents come loose over time
Each accent is bead set into carved metal and burnished by hand. As with any pave, a yearly check with a jeweller is sensible, but the setting is made to last.

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.
