An emerald-cut moissanite solitaire at 2.52 carat DEW in 14K yellow gold over sterling silver occupies a specific and compelling position in the current market: the emerald cut's step-cut facets display moissanite's exceptional fire in a different mode than brilliant cuts - the long, linear reflections of the step-cut move in and out of focus as the hand moves, creating a dynamic display that is more understated than trillion or round brilliant but ultimately more sophisticated. At 2.52 DEW, the stone has genuine ring-commanding presence. For the customer who is considering a moissanite engagement ring and wants a shape that communicates fine jewelry appreciation over fashion novelty.
