This solitaire was inspired by art deco and old Egyptian motifs. 18K gold and set with a ‘Hearts & Arrows’ cut 1-carat moissanite (the specific proportion variances of this cut versus the standard brilliant make a difference in a very good way).
It turned out pretty much perfect.

Please excuse the blue tape: I could not get this ring to stand up for the life of me and resorted to holding it with my grungy old soldering tweezers.
