One is plain polished gold. The other is set with a line of small round moissanite between milgrain beaded edges. As the ring turns on the finger the two swap places, so the shoulder that shows plain metal from one angle shows a row of stones from another. Under the head a few extra accents fill the space where the strands cross. It is a design that rewards a second look, which is exactly what a ring worn every day should do. 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 claw prongs rising from the crossover of the two strands\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: Round brilliant cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Colorless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarity: VVS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting: Bead set along one strand with milgrain edges on both sides, plus small accents where the strands cross beneath the centre stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign and craftsmanship\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSetting pave on a strand that spirals is harder than setting it on a flat shoulder, because the surface presented to the setter changes angle with every stone. Each seat has to be cut on its own plane and each bead raised to sit square to the curve, or the row twists visibly out of line. After the stones are in, the milgrain is run along both edges of the set strand with a knurling wheel, which frames the row and gives the vintage texture that separates this from a plain modern twist. The plain strand is left polished so the contrast between the two is clear. Every piece is finished by hand 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, and small stones show that fire most readily. On a spiralling row the effect is that the sparkle appears to travel around the band as the hand moves. 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. Yellow gold, as photographed, gives the strongest contrast between the plain strand and the stone set one, which is the whole point of the design. Rose gold does the same more softly. White gold makes the two strands blend into a single bright twist. For a stone set spiral worn daily 14K is harder than 18K and holds fine beads and milgrain better over time, 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. Because both the twist and the pave run the full circumference, we make this style to size rather than resizing it afterwards. Please order carefully, and ask us for a free size guide if you are unsure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCustom orders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe can set both strands with pave, remove the milgrain for a cleaner modern look, add a hidden halo, use a lab grown diamond or a colored moissanite in the centre, or make a matching twisted wedding band. 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\u003eWhy is only one strand set with stones?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContrast. If both strands were paved the twist would disappear into one bright band. Leaving one plain keeps the spiral visible and makes the set strand read as a line of light winding around the finger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is milgrain?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe row of tiny raised beads along the edges of the stone set strand. It is a traditional finishing technique that frames the pave and softens the transition between stones and metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the twisted band comfortable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The spiral is on the outer surface only. The inside is finished as a smooth comfort fit curve, so it feels like an ordinary band on the finger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this ring be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe would rather make it in your correct size. Resizing means cutting through both the twist and the pave line, which interrupts the pattern and requires resetting stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill a wedding band sit flush against it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA straight band sits against it but not perfectly flat, because of the spiral. A matching twisted band nests into this one and is the better pairing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo the small pave stones fall out?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRarely when set properly. Each bead is raised by hand and checked under magnification, and we offer a free annual check to tighten anything that has loosened with wear.\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 along the groove between the two strands and around the milgrain, where residue 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. Every ring is cut and set only after it is ordered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur services\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree tracked worldwide shipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade to order in your exact ring size, US 3 to 13\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime prong and pave check with cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThirty day return window\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecure packaging in a presentation box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConflict free and ethically produced stones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Mapple Gems\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a made to order fine jewelry workshop in Surat, India, one of the world leading diamond cutting and polishing centres.
