10 Stone Moissanite Wedding Band, 0.45cttw S925

This is a ten stone band, so the stones run across the top of the finger rather than circling the whole shank. That matters for two reasons. A half set band keeps the underside smooth, which is what makes it comfortable to wear every day and easy to resize later. It also puts all of the sparkle where it is actually seen, on the upper half of the hand, instead of spending carat weight on the part that faces your palm.

The full set is 0.45cttw of moissanite, which works out to a little under 0.05ct per stone. At that size the stone choice matters more than people expect. Small stones have less depth to bounce light through, so they go flat and glassy quickly if the material is dull. Moissanite has a refractive index of about 2.65 against roughly 2.42 for diamond, so it returns more light and holds visible fire even in a 2mm setting. It is also Mohs 9.25, which keeps the facet edges crisp.

Three finishes are offered on the same S925 sterling silver base. Silver is the honest match if you already wear white metal and want the band to disappear into a stack. Gold colour reads warmer and flatters a yellower skin tone. Rose gold colour is the softest of the three and sits well next to an existing engagement ring. Sizes run in half steps from 4 upward, so order your true size rather than rounding up.
