East-West Marquise Moissanite Tension-Style Ring – 1ct DEW
$79.00 USD
A 5x10mm marquise moissanite is gripped sideways between two sculpted, high-polish shoulders in this tension-style solitaire, a modern take on a single-stone ring. The stone is 1ct DEW, set in 18K white gold plating over 925 sterling silver. There are no visible prongs. Instead, the shank splits and wraps around the marquise from opposite directions, so the stone appears suspended between two smooth curves of metal. The shoulders are broad and rounded, tapering to a 3.7mm band at the back, and the setting covers the tips of the marquise, which is where this cut is most likely to chip. At 3.58g of silver, the ring has a substantial, solid feel. The marquise is lab-grown moissanite in D colour and VVS clarity. Moissanite has a refractive index of 2.65, higher than a diamond's 2.42, which gives the stone strong fire, and a Mohs hardness of 9.25 for day-to-day durability. Expert take: this is a ring for someone who prefers clean, architectural lines to sparkle-heavy pavé. The smooth metal frames the stone like a sculpture and is easy to keep clean because there are no prongs to trap dirt. It works as a promise ring, a non-traditional engagement ring or a stand-alone right-hand ring. Available in US sizes 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.
