{"product_id":"pear-cut-moissanite-split-shank-milgrain-solitaire-ring-03","title":"Pear Cut Moissanite Split Shank Milgrain Solitaire Engagement Ring","description":"\u003ch2\u003ePear Cut Moissanite Split Shank Milgrain Solitaire Engagement Ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA pear cut moissanite set in six claws, with the shank splitting into two smooth polished arms that sweep out and away on either side of the stone. The split leaves an open window of skin visible beneath the setting, which is what makes the centre stone appear to float rather than sit on a band. A fine milgrain collar runs right around the base of the stone, the only decorative detail on an otherwise entirely plain ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are no accent stones anywhere. The whole effect comes from the curve of the metal and the negative space it creates. From the top the two arms frame the pear; from the side they lift and taper into a clean open basket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat you are looking at\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentre stone: pear cut moissanite, colorless, VVS clarity, excellent cut and polish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting: six claw setting with a V claw over the point, on an open basket with a milgrain edged collar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBand: approximately 2 mm, splitting into two polished tapered arms at the shoulders, solid and rounded at the back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfile: medium, with a raised gallery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccent stones: none. This is a single stone ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy the point is protected\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tip of a pear is the most vulnerable part of the shape. Ours sits under a V shaped claw that wraps around it rather than a single prong resting on top. It is the difference between a point that survives a decade of daily wear and one that chips on a door frame in the first year, and it is not something we treat as optional.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it compares to our other plain pear rings\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery design is listed separately. Our hand engraved scroll solitaire puts all its interest into a carved pattern on a solid shank. Our vintage leaf and vine ring adds tiny flush set moissanite to that carving. This one is the opposite approach: nothing carved, nothing set, just a shank that opens. If you want a completely smooth ring that still has a shape to it, this is the one in our pear range that does that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMetals and sizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose from 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K and 18K gold in yellow, rose and white. All gold is solid, never plated and never filled. White gold is rhodium finished. With no stones and no texture on the band, the metal colour is the entire design here, so choose it as carefully as you would choose the stone. Centre stone sizes run from 2 carat to 5 carat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMade to order in our own workshop\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a family run workshop in Surat, India. Every ring is made by our own team after you order. A split shank is harder to finish than it looks: the two arms have to taper evenly and meet the gallery at exactly the same height, or the ring reads as crooked from above. Ours are filed and polished as a pair rather than separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite is 9.25 on the Mohs scale and takes daily wear well. Clean with warm water, a drop of mild dish soap and a soft brush, working under the open gallery where dust settles. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. A high polish on a plain band picks up fine hairline scratches over the years, which is normal; we can repolish it any time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eResizing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe back of the shank is solid and plain, so this ring resizes easily by two sizes or more in either direction. The split at the front is untouched by the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eShipping and returns\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade to order, typically ready to dispatch in 10 to 14 working days, with worldwide insured shipping and tracking. Returns accepted within 30 days of delivery on unworn items in original condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuestions people ask\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the centre stone a diamond?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. It is moissanite, a gemstone in its own right, and we never describe it as a diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the open split catch on things?\u003c\/strong\u003e Rarely. The arms are rounded and polished with no sharp edges, and the gap sits above the finger rather than to the side of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich way does the pear point?\u003c\/strong\u003e Toward the fingertip as standard, which is what lengthens the finger. Tell us in the order notes if you want it the other way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I wear a wedding band with it?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, and a plain straight band sits reasonably close because the split is above the finger, not beside it. There will still be a small gap under the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the price change with carat size?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The 2 carat is the base price and each larger size adds a small amount. The exact price appears when you select a combination.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2
