Product details

• Stone: 0.35ct total carat weight, round brilliant moissanite, D–E colour, VVS1 clarity — colourless and eye-clean
• Certification: A row of equal stones with no centre, so it ships without a GRA certificate. Certifying each separately isn't practical — every stone is moissanite of the same grade
• Metal: 925 sterling silver with rhodium plating — a white-gold finish that resists tarnish
• Setting: Two crossing bands — one bead-set between polished rails, one pierced right through with a Greek key fret
• Sizes available: 10 to 20 — made to your size, never resized down from stock
• Inside the band: CERELINE engraved on every ring
• Gifting: Arrives in our presentation box
• Made to order: 7 to 15 days. We don't rush the setting — if you need it sooner, message us and we'll tell you honestly what's possible
• Lifetime replating: Free rhodium replating for life. Expect to need it every 12 to 18 months with daily wear
• Delivery: Free anywhere in Pakistan — 1–2 days in Lahore, 2–4 days elsewhere. Cash on delivery available

Two bands, two different ideas, crossing.

One band carries a line of round brilliants. The other is cut through with a Greek key — pierced right out of the metal, so you see through the pattern rather than at it. They cross at the top of the finger and separate again, and the ring sits as a wide band that's actually two narrow ones.

It isn't an engagement ring and doesn't want to be. It's the ring you wear on the other hand.

The Greek key

The pattern is called a meander, after a river in Asia Minor famous for winding back on itself. The Greeks used it on temples, pottery and floors for the same reason it still appears on things today: it's drawn as one continuous line. It turns, doubles back, and never breaks.

That's why it's carried meanings of unity and endlessness for two and a half thousand years, and it's a better reason to put it on a ring than decoration alone.

Ours is pierced, not engraved. Engraving scratches a pattern into the surface — quicker, cheaper, and it wears away with the years. Cutting the pattern through the metal means it can never fade, and light passes through the gaps, so the fretwork stays legible instead of filling with polish and going flat.

The set band

The opposite band holds a row of round brilliants, each in its own beaded setting, running between two polished rails that sit slightly proud of the stones. Those rails are structural: they take the wear as your hand moves through a day, so the stones sit in a protected channel rather than standing exposed on the surface.

The crossing

Where the two bands pass, they don't sit flat on top of each other — one lifts over the other and both taper as they go, so the profile stays slim against the finger. Look at it side on and you'll see the bands are separate all the way round, joined only where they meet.

The result is a wide band that wears like a narrow one. It reads substantial from above and almost disappears in thickness against the skin.

Wearing it

A dress band, a right-hand ring, a gift that isn't a proposal. It works as a statement on its own, and it stacks unusually well precisely because it's already two lines — a plain band beside it reads as a third, rather than as clutter.

It's also the least precious-feeling piece we make, in the best sense. You can wear it on a Tuesday without thinking about it.

What is moissanite?

Moissanite is a gemstone in its own right — silicon carbide — not an imitation of anything. It was first found in a meteorite crater, and the stones used in jewellery today are grown in a laboratory because natural moissanite is far too rare to set.

Two properties matter. It is 9.25 on the Mohs scale, harder than any gemstone except diamond, which is why it survives daily wear without the chipping that softer stones suffer. And its dispersion is roughly two and a half times that of diamond — it splits white light into visible spectral colour far more strongly. That is the fire you see: flashes of blue, green and orange where a diamond of the same size returns mostly white.

We say moissanite plainly on every page. It is not sold here as a diamond and never will be.

Why silver, and not gold?

Because the stone is the point. A heavy gold setting adds a great deal of money for metal that sits underneath the stone and is barely seen.

Rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver gives the same bright white-gold finish, keeps the budget in the stone and the setting, and our lifetime replating means the finish stays white for as long as you own the ring. If you would prefer this design in gold, message us on WhatsApp and we'll quote it.

Marked inside

CERELINE is engraved on the inner shank, where only the wearer sees it. Not ornament — provenance.

Made to order

Made in your size after you order, in 7 to 15 days. The crossover is a fixed structure, so resizing is possible only within a narrow range — take a moment with the size guide, or message us and we'll help you measure.

Care

Rhodium plating doesn't tarnish, but it does wear. With daily use expect to need replating every 12 to 18 months — sooner if you're hard on your hands. It's free, for life. Store the ring in its box when you aren't wearing it, and put it on last, after perfume and hand cream.

The Greek key needs attention the plain pieces don't. Pierced openwork collects hand cream and soap in the cut-outs, and once they're filled the pattern reads as solid metal and loses the whole effect. Warm water, a drop of washing-up liquid, and a soft toothbrush worked along the fretwork from both sides, rinse and dry fully. Once a month is plenty.

Remove for chlorinated water, household chemicals and fragrance.

Frequently asked questions

Does it come with a certificate?
No, and here's why. A GRA certificate covers one stone. This design is a row of equal small stones with no centre, and certifying each separately isn't practical — the paperwork would cost more than the stones. Every stone is moissanite of the same grade we use throughout. If you want a certified centre stone, our solitaire and halo designs ship with one.

Is moissanite the same as cubic zirconia?
No. Cubic zirconia is softer, clouds with wear and has far less fire. Moissanite is 9.25 on the Mohs scale and holds its brilliance for life. They are not comparable materials and they are not comparably priced.

Will the plating wear off?
Eventually, yes — that is true of every rhodium-plated piece, at any price, including white gold. With daily wear expect 12 to 18 months. Ours is free to replate for life, so it is never a reason not to buy.

How do I find my ring size?
We make sizes 10 to 20. Use the size guide on this page, or message us on WhatsApp at +92 371 4323294. The crossover limits how far this one can be resized, so measure carefully.

How long will it take?
7 to 15 days, made to order in our Lahore workshop. If you have a date to meet, tell us and we'll be honest about whether we can make it.

Where do you deliver?
Anywhere in Pakistan, free of charge. We make everything at our bench in Lahore, so Lahore orders arrive fastest — 1–2 days once the piece leaves the workshop, and 2–4 days elsewhere in Pakistan. Cash on delivery is available countrywide; because every piece is made to your size and cannot be resold as it stands, we take a 10% advance before we start and the remaining 90% is paid to the courier on delivery. You are also welcome to collect in person from our shop at Shop No. 15, Square 99 Mall, Bahria Town, Lahore.

What if it isn't right?
Cancel free within 24 hours of ordering. After delivery you have 5 days for a refund and 30 days to exchange, plus one free resize within 30 days. Engraved and custom pieces are exchange-or-resize only.
