A groove where one stops and the other starts.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is a half band — stones across the face, plain metal around the back. Five round brilliants sit in a row, shoulder to shoulder, held by claws shared between neighbours. Where the last stone ends, the band steps down into flat polished metal cut with three fine parallel grooves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThere is no centre stone and no focal point. Five is the whole idea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhy five, and why shared claws\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFive stones of equal size read as a line rather than a hierarchy. Nothing in the row matters more than anything else, which is what makes it work as a wedding or anniversary band — it says duration, not event.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe claws are shared: one claw sits between two stones and holds both. That halves the metal across the face, so the stones sit closer and far less silver interrupts the row. From above you see an almost continuous band of stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eShared claws are harder to set. Every stone has to be seated at exactly the same height, because one sitting proud or low shows immediately in a straight line of five. There is nowhere to hide it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe grooves\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhere the stone row ends, the band widens into a flat polished face cut with three parallel grooves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThey are there to end the row properly. Without them the stones would simply stop and the band would carry on — an unresolved edge. The grooves act as a full stop: a deliberate line between set and unset, and somewhere for the eye to land.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThey also catch light differently from the flat metal around them, so the shoulders read as detail rather than blank space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSet high, cut away underneath\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eLook at it from the front. Beneath the stones, the gallery is cut into a row of open arches rather than left solid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe arches are structural — they carry the row on a narrow rail so there is no block of metal under the stones. Light enters from underneath and from the sides, which is where light comes from when your hand rests on a table or a wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt also means the band feels lighter than it looks. There is less metal here than the front view suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWearing it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is the band to buy if you want stones without a stack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt works alone as a brighter alternative to a plain wedding band, as an anniversary band, or on the right hand as everyday jewellery. Because the stones stop halfway round, it sits comfortably against the fingers either side of it — something a full eternity band never quite does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt also sits flush against a solitaire. Both edges of the shank are straight, so there is no gap and no rocking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOne honest note: the stones sit up, not flush. It is set for brilliance rather than for maximum durability, so it isn't the band for heavy work or the gym.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhat is moissanite?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMoissanite 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTwo properties matter. It is \u003cstrong\u003e9.25 on the Mohs scale\u003c\/strong\u003e, harder than any gemstone except diamond, which is why it survives daily wear without the chipping that softer stones suffer. And its \u003cstrong\u003edispersion is roughly two and a half times that of diamond\u003c\/strong\u003e — 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWe say moissanite plainly on every page. It is not sold here as a diamond and never will be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhy silver, and not gold?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBecause 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eRhodium-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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMarked inside\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCERELINE is engraved on the inner shank, where only the wearer sees it. Not ornament — provenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMade to order\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMade in your size after you order, in 7 to 15 days. The plain back half takes resizing without disturbing a single stone, so this is the most forgiving ring we make.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eRhodium 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eShared claws and an open gallery mean residue collects in two places: the gaps between the stones, and the arches underneath. Warm water, a drop of washing-up liquid, a soft toothbrush worked along the row and up into the gallery from below. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Monthly — a dull row of five shows far more than one dull stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eRemove for chlorinated water, household chemicals and fragrance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it come with a certificate?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, and here's why. A GRA certificate covers one stone. This band is five equal 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs moissanite the same as cubic zirconia?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the plating wear off?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEventually, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I find my ring size?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe make sizes 10 to 20.
