Hand-Cut Moissanite Portuguese Cut Solitaire Ring with Pavé Band in 14K Gold (4.25 CTW)

The Stones

The center of this solitaire ring holds a 4.00 carat (9.00 x 9.00 x 6.48 mm) Portuguese cut moissanite stone. Unlike standard 57-facet brilliant cuts, the Portuguese cut features an intricate architecture of over 161 facets, creating a specialized optical geometry that focuses light into concentric internal rings rather than linear reflections. Hand-faceted by cutters to alter standard machine dispersion indexes, the stone eliminates the chaotic dispersion often seen in generic moissanite. Complementing the center stone are 14 round brilliant moissanite accents (0.01 to 0.07 carats each, totaling 0.25 CTW) running along the upper shank. All stones are graded at an equivalent EF colorless tier and VVS clarity, ensuring an eye-clean field entirely free of visible inclusions. Full jewelry certification from IGI or SGL is available upon request to verify these exact metrics.

The Setting

The setting employs a four-prong structural configuration that grips the 9mm girdle tightly while maintaining a low-profile table height. This low-profile claw geometry secures the stone without obscuring the upper facet tiers. Beneath the crown, the ring features an open architectural under-rail gallery with intersecting support struts. This open framework eliminates metal barriers beneath the pavilion, allowing maximum base light entry to drive the complex internal facet reflections. The 14 accent stones along the band are secured using a shared-prong pavé method, which reduces metal boundaries between adjacent stones to create a continuous line of surface reflection along the shank.

Metals and Finish

Built on a default foundation of 14K Gold (585 purity code), this alloy composition balances pure gold content with structural durability to support the multi-stone pavé setting during daily wear. The metal is finished with a high-polish rhodium plating for white gold variants, while yellow gold options leverage a warm backdrop to complement the colorless stone grades. The ring can also be custom-ordered across our full five-tier metal framework, including 10K Gold (417 alloy for maximum scratch resistance), 18K Gold (750 alloy for richer color density), or 950 Platinum (95% pure platinum, providing a hypoallergenic, dense prong matrix that never tarnishes).

Customisation and Origin

Every order follows a strict factory-direct production protocol. Within 24 hours of checkout on primiraluxury.com, our manufacturing team contacts you via WhatsApp and email to confirm your exact specifications. During this consultation window, you can adjust the ring size (including half and quarter international sizes), band width, metal alloy tier, tone (yellow, white, or rose), or swap the center stone for an IGI-certified lab grown diamond variant.

Because each piece is customized to order, cancellations are accepted only within the first 48 hours, and returns are restricted to verified shipping damage or spec mismatches reported within 7 days. Crafted in Surat — the city that cuts 90% of the world’s diamonds — and shipped factory-direct.

OPTIONAL FAQ BLOCK

How does the Portuguese cut differ from a standard round brilliant cut?

A standard round brilliant cut utilizes 57 or 58 facets designed to reflect light in a linear fashion. The Portuguese cut features a specialized high-facet architecture consisting of 161 facets arranged in concentric tiers. This creates a distinct floral, spiral optical pattern that draws the eye deep into the stone, producing a different light behavior than a traditional round stone.

Will the hand-cut moissanite have a “disco-ball” effect?

No. Generic, machine-cut moissanite often displays an oversized rainbow dispersion (the “disco-ball” effect) because machine angles do not account for the stone’s high refractive index of 2.69. Our stones are hand-faceted by cutters who alter the pavilion and crown angles precisely to control light dispersion, ensuring clean, sharp internal reflections.

Can I choose a lab grown diamond instead of moissanite for this setting?

Yes. Every jewelry piece we manufacture offers a checkout variation. You can choose to have this exact 161-facet Portuguese design produced with an IGI-certified lab grown diamond center stone instead of moissanite. All specifications will be verified during your post-purchase WhatsApp consultation before production begins.
