A marquise engagement ring straight out of an Art Nouveau fairytale: a GRA-certified marquise moissanite framed by lotus-petal prongs, with butterfly silhouettes at the gallery, crowned accent points above and below the stone, and a twisted vine shank in solid 14K yellow gold.

A Compass Point of Gold and Light
The marquise sits north-south, and the design extends its lines: a crowned accent point rises above the tip, a mirrored point descends below, and the whole face of the ring reads as a single elongated compass star. Look closer and the storytelling appears — lotus petals cradle the center stone, butterfly wings unfold in the openwork gallery, and the shank twists like a vine wrapping the finger. It's a butterfly ring, a lotus ring, and a marquise ring in one Art Nouveau-inspired design.
The Marquise Moissanite: D Color, VVS1, GRA Certified
The center is genuine lab-grown moissanite — a real gemstone with lab-controlled origin, not a simulant. At D color and VVS1 clarity it sits at the top of the grading scale, and every ring ships with its GRA certificate documenting the grading. The round accents are moissanite as well, matching the center's fire throughout the design.
Moissanite's refractive index (2.65) exceeds diamond's (2.42), so it throws noticeably more rainbow fire — and the marquise cut, with its elongated body and pointed tips, is one of the most dramatic stages for it. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale, moissanite is second only to diamond in hardness.
Why the Marquise Cut
The marquise has the largest face-up spread of any cut per carat — its long, pointed silhouette stretches across the finger, making the stone look remarkably generous while elongating the hand. It's a cut with royal history and a slightly untamed personality, which is exactly why it suits a design full of vines and butterflies.
Solid 14K Yellow Gold, Through and Through
Cast in solid 14K yellow gold — no plating, no vermeil, nothing to wear away. The warm gold makes the sculpted lotus petals and butterfly wings glow like honey in sunlight. This piece belongs to our solid gold engagement rings collection, and its woodland-fairytale character makes it a natural companion to our fairy engagement rings.

Care & Craftsmanship
Each ring is made to order over 2–6 weeks — cast, set, and finished for your order specifically. Moissanite needs no special treatment: warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush restore full brilliance. Store the ring in its velvet box when not worn, and remove it before heavy lifting or abrasive work.
Marquise Moissanite Ring FAQs
Is the moissanite in this ring real?
Yes — moissanite is a genuine gemstone (silicon carbide) grown in a lab. It is not a diamond simulant like cubic zirconia; it's its own stone with superior optical properties, including more fire than diamond.
What does GRA certified mean?
GRA (Gemological Research Association) certification documents the stone's cut, color, clarity, and carat weight. Your ring ships with its GRA certificate confirming the D color, VVS1 clarity grading.
Are the accent stones moissanite too?
Yes — the crown points and shoulder accents are genuine lab-grown moissanite, matching the center stone's fire throughout the ring.
What do the butterfly and lotus symbolize?
The butterfly represents transformation and new beginnings; the lotus represents love that blooms through every season. Together with the twisted vine shank, the design tells the story of two lives growing and changing together.
Will moissanite pass a diamond tester?
Standard thermal diamond testers will read moissanite as diamond, because both conduct heat similarly. Only specialized electrical testers distinguish the two.
Does moissanite sparkle more than a diamond?
Moissanite has a higher refractive index than diamond (2.65 vs 2.42) and more than double the fire dispersion — and the elongated marquise cut shows that rainbow fire dramatically.
Will moissanite cloud, fade, or scratch over time?
No. Moissanite is 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale — second only to diamond — and its brilliance is permanent. It will not cloud, yellow, or dull with age.
Is this a fairy or elvish style ring?
Very much so — the vine shank, butterfly gallery, and lotus prongs give it a fairycore, elvish character while remaining a timeless Art Nouveau-inspired fine-jewelry piece.
Is solid 14K yellow gold good for everyday wear?
Yes. Solid 14K gold is the standard for heirloom jewelry — durable, solid throughout, with no plating to wear away, and it will never turn skin green.
Can I pair it with a wedding band?
Yes — the ring wears beautifully alone, and it stacks well with a simple straight band or a gently curved band in matching yellow gold.
How long does made to order take?
Each ring is cast and set to order over 2–6 weeks. You'll receive tracking as soon as your ring ships.
Is this ring conflict-free?
Yes. The lab-grown moissanite center and accents are inherently conflict-free, and all materials are ethically sourced.
Does it come in other stones or metals?
Yes — the identical design is available with an IGI-certified lab-grown diamond center, and in 14K white gold with either stone.
