This pretty bypass solitaire ring is set with an excellent brilliant cut “hearts & arrows” D colorless Moissanite. Moissanites have become very popular. It is desired & preferred over a Diamond for it’s sparkle & cost. As specified below this description the refractive index is a little higher on a Moissanite than on a Diamond. The lower cost of a Moissanite ring means you can wear it everyday, go anywhere you want to go with it & never fear losing lots of money should it get lost or stolen. It brings peace of mind. As a gift for her, she will be very pleased with the elegant design as well. Along with your ring you will receive a GRA certification of authenticity for the Moissanite. The GRA registry website that is mentioned in your certificate of authenticity & warranty card does not register your Moissanite. The only information they give are the details of the Moissanite you purchased. The Moissanite manufacturer expects each seller to cover the warranty themselves for each Moissanite. Please read my warranty at the end of this listing. The rhodium plating helps sterling silver lasts longer, it’s more resistant to wear & friction, & it looks brighter, shinier, & it has a mirror-like finish. Plating of sterling silver with rhodium is done through a process called electroplating. SIZING: If you’re not sure of your ring size & you don’t have a ring gauge/sizer, please visit your local jeweler. They have accurate sizers in their stores that will confirm your true ring size. This the best way to avoid returns. RING SPECIFICS: Metal: 925 Sterling Silver Plating: Rhodium Plated Shank Design: Bypass Setting Design: 6 Prong Setting Shape: Round Setting Size: 6.5mm Approx.

Moissanites was first discovered in 1893 by a French scientist named Henri Moissan, who later won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. He discovered microscopic particles of the gem that would eventually bear his name in Arizona, in a crater created by a meteorite that fell to Earth. He initially thought that he had discovered diamonds, but later determined that the crystals were composed of silicon carbide. Natural Moissanite is incredibly rare, so Moissanite available today is laboratory-created. Moissanite is engineered to give the illusion of similarity to diamonds, but is compositionally & visually quite different from a real diamond. The durability, brilliance, & color of the two gems are quite distinct.
