The spacing is the point. Light passes between the stones as well as through them, so the shoulders read as a scattered line rather than a solid strip, and the ring looks lighter on the hand than a fully paved band of the same width. The oval centre sits in a four prong head with the first marquise angled up toward it on each side. Made to order in Surat, India, in ten metals and four centre stone sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCenter stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone type: Moissanite, a lab created silicon carbide gemstone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: Oval brilliant cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Colorless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarity: VVS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarat options: 2 carat, 3 carat, 4 carat and 5 carat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut and polish: Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSymmetry: Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLuster: Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardness: 9.25 on the Mohs scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting: Four prong open basket head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSide stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone type: Moissanite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: Marquise and round brilliant, alternating along both shoulders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Colorless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarity: VVS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting: Individually shared prong set with a bead of metal between each stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign and craftsmanship\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlternating two shapes on a curved band is harder than it looks. Each marquise has to be seated so its long axis follows the curve of the finger, and each round has to sit at the same height as the marquise on either side of it, or the row looks uneven from above. Our setters lay out the whole shoulder before any stone goes in, then set them one at a time and level the row by eye under magnification. The prongs are shared between neighbouring stones, which is what keeps the metal minimal and lets light through the gaps. The band measures about 2 mm and the accent stones sit slightly proud of it, giving the shoulders a beaded, hand made texture. Every piece is finished by our bench in Surat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow moissanite compares to a diamond\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite is silicon carbide, not carbon, so it is a different material from a diamond rather than a lower grade of one. It measures 9.25 on the Mohs scale against a diamond at 10, which makes it hard wearing and well suited to daily use. Its refractive index is higher than a diamond, so it returns more colored fire. Marquise cuts in particular throw long flashes of light because of their elongated facets, which is why they alternate so well with the tighter sparkle of a round. This ring is sold as moissanite and is never described as a diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMetal options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvailable in 925 sterling silver, 10K yellow gold, 10K rose gold, 10K white gold, 14K yellow gold, 14K rose gold, 14K white gold, 18K yellow gold, 18K rose gold and 18K white gold. White gold, as photographed, keeps the whole ring reading as one line of light. Yellow and rose gold make the gaps between the stones visible as small bright points of metal, which emphasises the alternating rhythm. For a stone set band worn every day 14K is the practical choice because it is harder than 18K and holds shared prongs more securely over the years, and 925 sterling silver is the most affordable way to try the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRing size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery ring is made to your finger size, so choose your size at checkout. We make US sizes 3 through 13, including half sizes. The accent stones stop before the base of the band, so a jeweller can resize the ring later without disturbing them. If you are unsure of your size, measure the inside diameter of a ring you already wear or ask us for a free size guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCustom orders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe can run the alternating pattern further around the band, change the marquise to pear or oval accents, add a hidden halo under the centre stone, set the centre with a lab grown diamond or a colored moissanite, or make a matching band with the same rhythm. For any other request please contact us at https:\/\/mapplegems.com\/pages\/contact and we will quote it before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a moissanite ring or a diamond ring?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a moissanite engagement ring. The centre stone and every accent are lab created moissanite, and the ring is sold as moissanite. We never describe it as a diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is this different from a pave band?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePave sets many tiny stones side by side in a continuous strip. Here each stone is larger, set on its own, and separated by a bead of metal, so the shoulders sparkle in distinct points rather than as one solid line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy alternate marquise and round?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe two cuts behave differently in light. A marquise throws long flashes along its axis and a round scatters light in all directions, so alternating them keeps the shoulders lively from every angle instead of repeating the same flash.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre marquise accents fragile?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe tips are the delicate part of any marquise, so we set each one with a prong covering the point rather than leaving it exposed. Handled normally the stones are secure, and we offer a free annual check where we tighten anything that has loosened.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill a wedding band sit flush against it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClose, but not perfectly flat. The accent stones sit slightly proud of the band, so a straight wedding band may show a small gap. We can make a contoured band shaped to this ring if you want them to sit flush.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes moissanite scratch or cloud over time?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it resists scratching from ordinary contact, and its brilliance comes from the material itself rather than a coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWarm water, mild soap and a soft brush. Work the brush into the spaces between the accent stones, where lotion collects. Rinse well and dry with a lint free cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does it take to make?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduction usually takes ten to fourteen working days, plus shipping time.
