1.84cttw Marquise Moissanite Wedding Ring, 925 Silver

The total weight of 1.84 carats is spread across a line of marquise stones rather than concentrated in one centre stone, and that is the point of this design. Marquise stones set point to point form a continuous band of light with no plain metal gaps, so the ring reads as a full circle of stone from every angle. It also keeps the profile low, which matters on a wedding band that has to sit flush under an engagement ring.

All the stones are certified moissanite. On a band like this the certificate is doing real work, because consistency matters more than any single stone: if the colour drifts between stones the eye catches it immediately along a straight line. Moissanite's hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs scale is what lets a ring worn every day keep that line crisp, and the refractive index of about 2.65 against a diamond's 2.42 is why it flashes more colour.

Two finishes are offered on the same 925 sterling silver band. Silver keeps the stones looking as white as possible, which is the safer choice if you plan to pair it with a white gold engagement ring. Rose gold warms the whole line and makes the stones read slightly softer, and it works as a standalone band. Sizes are listed in US measurements, 5 through 9. A full eternity style band cannot be resized, so take an accurate size first.
