A solitaire built like architecture. The stone doesn't sit on the band — it sits on a plinth.

Six claws. A round brilliant moissanite lifted clear. Either side, the shank runs flat and wide, channelled with a graduated row of moissanite that stops hard against a squared block of brushed metal where the head begins.

Nothing tapers. Nothing curves into anything else. Every transition on this ring is a right angle, declared.

The bridge

Between the shoulder stones and the centre setting sits a short, flat-faced block of metal — brushed rather than polished, square in section, standing slightly proud.

It's the part of the ring most people won't name and everyone will notice.

Conventional design blends the shoulder into the head: a smooth rise, a soft collar, the stones running continuously up to the centre. It reads as one gesture and it reads as safe.

The bridge refuses that. It draws a hard vertical line where the shoulder ends and the setting begins, so the centre stone stands on a defined base rather than emerging from a gradient. Brushed against polished, matte against mirror — the surface change does the same work as the geometry.

The result: the centre stone is framed, not merely mounted.

The shoulders

Channel-set, graduated, stepping down in size as they run from the bridge toward the back of the shank.

Graduation is the discipline here. A uniform row of equal stones is simpler to source and simpler to set — and it flattens the ring, because nothing directs the eye. Stepping the sizes down creates perspective: the shoulders read as receding, and the centre stone reads as arrived at.

The channel walls run flush with the outer edge of the band, so the stones sit contained rather than exposed. No claws along the shoulders means nothing to snag, nothing to lift, nothing to check.

Six claws, and the space beneath

The centre is held by six, set high with the underside open.

Moissanite's defining property is dispersion — it splits light into spectral colour more strongly than diamond, by a significant margin. That dispersion depends on light entering the pavilion from below and from the sides, not only through the table.

A closed or low setting suppresses it. You get a bright white stone and none of what you paid for.

This one is lifted deliberately: an open gallery, a clear path underneath, and six slim claws trimmed back as far as structural tolerance allows. Six rather than four means no single claw is load-bearing — a compromised claw becomes a service appointment, not an emergency.

The band

Flat-sided, squared in profile, substantial through the back.

A flat outer face is what allows the channel to sit flush and the bridge to read as architecture. It also does something for the wearer: flat-profile shanks resist rotation. A high-set stone on a round shank will migrate to one side of the finger within hours. This stays where it is put.

The inner edge is rounded and comfort-finished. Square where it's seen; kind where it's felt.

On the hand

A solitaire for someone who finds solitaires undercooked.

It reads traditional from six feet and deliberate from six inches. The head sits high — that is the cost of the fire, and it's non-negotiable. It will catch on knitwear. It isn't a gym ring. Anyone who tells you otherwise about a lifted solitaire is selling.

Against a wedding band: both edges of the shank are straight and the channel terminates well short of the base. A flat band sits flush, full contact, no gap.

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

Cut to your size after you order, in 7 to 15 days. The channel occupies the upper half of the shank; the lower half is plain and unset, which is where resizing happens. The setting is never disturbed.

Care

Rhodium plating protects the silver beneath it, and it will wear with daily use — which is why replating is 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.

Two points of attention. The channel accumulates residue along its lower seam, where you can't see it and where it will quietly kill the light on the shoulder stones. And the open gallery beneath the centre — the feature responsible for the fire — is the first place hand cream collects.

Warm water. A drop of detergent. A soft brush along the channel in both directions, then up into the gallery from underneath. Rinse fully. Dry fully. Monthly.

Remove for chlorinated water, household chemicals and fragrance.

Frequently asked questions

Does it come with a certificate?
Yes. The centre stone ships with its GRA certificate. The shoulder stones are moissanite as well, but a separate certificate for every small stone isn't practical, so we certify the centre.

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. 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 and we'll walk you through measuring.
