Round Cut Moissanite Leaf Cluster Engagement Ring in Gold and 925 Silver

The Round Cut Moissanite Leaf Cluster Engagement Ring sets a brilliant round moissanite at the center of a cluster of sculpted leaf motifs, so the stone appears to grow out of the band rather than sit on top of it. It is made to order in 925 sterling silver or in solid 10K, 14K and 18K gold in yellow, rose and white, in total carat weights from 1 to 5 carat.

A cluster setting differs from a solitaire in that the center stone is framed by surrounding detail rather than standing alone. Here the frame is botanical rather than a ring of small stones, which is why this design reads as nature inspired and vintage leaning instead of classic bridal.

Why choose this leaf cluster ring

• Sculpted leaf cluster framing the center stone, an alternative to the standard halo for anyone who does not want a conventional engagement ring
• Brilliant round cut moissanite, the shape that returns the most light of any cut
• Solid metal throughout rather than plated, in 925 sterling silver or 10K, 14K and 18K gold
• Nine carat weights from 1 to 5 carat, so the same design scales from understated to statement
• Made to order, with a CAD model shared before production so you can see the ring before it is made
• Moissanite rates 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale, which matters more for a ring than for any other piece of jewelry

Choose your carat weight

• 1 to 1.50 carat. Proportional on most hands and the easiest range to wear every day without catching on things.
• 2 to 2.50 carat. The most requested range for an engagement ring. Clearly substantial while still practical.
• 3 to 3.50 carat. A definite statement. The leaf cluster scales with the stone, so the botanical detail stays in proportion.
• 4 to 5 carat. Maximum presence, best suited to longer fingers and to anyone who wants the ring to be the focal point.

Carat weight refers to the total weight of the stones in the ring. If you are unsure, 2 carat is the safest starting point for a first engagement ring.

Choose your metal

• 925 sterling silver. The most accessible option and a bright white metal that suits the colorless stone.
• 10K gold. The most hard wearing gold because it carries the highest proportion of alloy, which matters for a ring worn daily.
• 14K gold. The usual balance of durability and gold content, and the most widely chosen karat for engagement rings.
• 18K gold. The richest color and the highest gold content offered here. Softer than 14K, so better suited to careful wear.
• Yellow, rose and white. Yellow gold suits the botanical theme most naturally, rose gold adds warmth that flatters the leaf detail, and white gold keeps the focus on the stone.

About moissanite

Moissanite is silicon carbide. It was first identified by the French chemist Henri Moissan in 1893 in fragments recovered from a meteor crater in Arizona. Because natural moissanite is extremely rare, the moissanite used in fine jewelry today is created in a laboratory.

Moissanite has a refractive index of approximately 2.65, higher than that of diamond, so it returns more fire, meaning more colored flashes of light. On the Mohs scale it rates 9.25, second only to diamond at 10, which is why it holds up to daily wear on a hand better than most gemstones. Because it is created rather than mined, moissanite is conflict free, and it costs roughly a tenth of a mined diamond of comparable size.

Made to order and customization

This ring is custom made in 10K, 14K or 18K solid gold in yellow, white or rose, in 925 sterling silver, or in platinum. Share your design ideas and a CAD model is created before the ring is produced, so you can approve the design first.

Additional services include complimentary engraving, free gift wrapping, worldwide shipping, jewelry certification and flexible payment options.

Styling and occasions

A leaf cluster ring suits anyone who wants an engagement ring that does not look like everyone else. It pairs naturally with a plain band or a contoured band that follows the leaf outline, and it works as a proposal ring, an anniversary ring, a promise ring or an upgrade to an existing set.

Care and cleaning

• Take the ring off before cleaning with household chemicals, gardening, lifting weights or anything that puts pressure on the band.
• Clean it in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap and a soft toothbrush, working carefully between the leaf motifs where residue collects. Rinse and dry with a lint free cloth.
• Remove it before swimming or using a hot tub. Chlorine attacks the alloys in gold and silver over time.
• Store it on its own in a soft pouch or a lined box so the stone does not scratch other pieces.
• For sterling silver, keep it in a closed pouch when not worn and restore the finish with a silver polishing cloth.
• Have the setting checked periodically by a jeweller, as with any ring worn daily.

Frequently asked questions

What is a cluster engagement ring

A cluster ring frames the center stone with surrounding detail rather than leaving it standing alone. In a traditional cluster the frame is made of smaller stones. In this design the frame is a set of sculpted leaf motifs, which gives the ring an organic, botanical look instead of a conventional halo.

Is moissanite a good choice for an engagement ring

Yes. Hardness matters more in a ring than in any other piece of jewelry because a hand takes constant contact. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale moissanite is second only to diamond, so it resists scratching through daily wear. It also costs roughly a tenth of a mined diamond of comparable size.

How is moissanite different from a diamond

Moissanite has a higher refractive index than diamond, so it throws more colored fire. It rates 9.25 on the Mohs scale against 10 for diamond. It is created in a laboratory rather than mined, which makes it conflict free, and it costs substantially less. To most people the two are indistinguishable when worn.

Which carat weight should I choose

Choose 1 to 1.50 carat for an everyday proportional look, 2 to 2.50 carat for the most commonly chosen engagement ring size, 3 to 3.50 carat for a clear statement, and 4 to 5 carat for maximum presence. If you are unsure, 2 carat is the safest starting point.

Which metal should I pick for an engagement ring

For a ring worn every day, 14K gold is the usual choice because it balances durability against gold content. 10K is harder still and the most affordable solid gold. 18K has the richest color but is softer. Sterling silver is the most accessible option. Platinum is available on request.

What ring sizes are available

US sizes 3 to 13 including half sizes. Because each ring is made to order, the size is produced to your specification rather than resized afterwards.

Can I see the design before it is made

Yes. Share your design ideas and a CAD model is created and shared with you before production begins, so you can approve the ring before it is made.

Is this solid gold or gold plated

The gold options are solid 10K, 14K or 18K gold throughout, not plated. The silver option is 925 sterling silver, which is 92.5 percent pure silver.

Will the ring tarnish

Solid gold does not tarnish. Sterling silver can darken over time through contact with air and skin, which is normal and reversible with a silver polishing cloth or a gentle silver cleaner.

How long does a made to order ring take

Because each ring is produced to your chosen metal, carat weight and ring size, it is made after the order is placed rather than shipped from stock. Contact us for the current production time before ordering if you have a date to meet.
