An elven leaf engagement ring in gold. A tall 5 × 15 mm marquise of natural moss agate sits north to south between simulated diamond leaves, on a split shank in 14K yellow gold vermeil over sterling silver. Every moss agate grows its own pattern, so no two centers look alike.

The Design
Eilwen is a Welsh name meaning fair and white, and the ring is built tall and slender to match. A 5 × 15 mm marquise sits north to south in six prongs, three times as long as it is wide, so it runs up the finger like a leaf on its stem. A marquise-cut simulated diamond leaf flanks each shoulder with a smaller leaf behind it, and the band splits as it reaches the stone, with a line of round simulated diamonds on each side. Our marquise engagement rings guide covers why the cut reads larger and longer than its carat weight.
The silhouette belongs to the elven and fairy-tale lane we cover in fairy engagement rings and fantasy engagement rings; for the wider field, non-traditional engagement rings.
The Moss Agate
The center is natural moss agate: clear chalcedony holding green mineral inclusions that formed inside the stone, so each one carries its own scatter of moss, ferns and riverbeds. This one is cut as a long marquise, 5 × 15 mm, which gives the dendrites more room to show than a round of the same width. The stone you receive will share the cut and the green character of the photo but not its exact pattern.
Our moss agate meaning post covers the stone's history, is moss agate durable covers daily wear, and best settings for moss agate engagement rings explains why a prong setting like this one lets the most light into the stone.
Metal and Stones
The ring is 14K yellow gold vermeil: real 14K gold over solid 925 sterling silver. The warm gold reads well against the cool green of the agate and the white of the leaves. Our guide to caring for vermeil jewelry covers the finish.
The center marquise is natural moss agate. The leaf-shaped marquises on the shoulders and the small rounds along the shank are simulated diamond (cubic zirconia). Our moissanite vs cubic zirconia post explains what that material does well and where it falls short of a mined stone.

Care
Moss agate is 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale and suits regular wear with ordinary care. Clean with warm water, mild soap and a soft brush, working the brush around the leaves where lotion collects, then dry before storing. No silver polishing cloths or abrasive compounds, which thin the gold vermeil; avoid ultrasonic cleaners and household chemicals for the same reason. Take the ring off for the gym, gardening and heavy cleaning, and keep the marquise points clear of hard knocks. Store it in its velvet box rather than loose.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the moss agate natural?
Yes. The 5 × 15 mm marquise is natural moss agate: clear chalcedony with green mineral inclusions that grew inside it. It is never dyed.
Will my stone look exactly like the photo?
No, and we would rather say so plainly. The moss inside every stone grows differently, so yours will share the size, cut and green character of the photo but not the exact pattern.
What is yellow gold vermeil?
Real 14K yellow gold over solid 925 sterling silver. The base is a precious metal, not brass, and the gold gives the ring its warm color.
Is moss agate hard enough for everyday wear?
Moss agate is 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, which suits regular wear with ordinary care. The long marquise points are the part to protect, so take the ring off for the gym, gardening and heavy cleaning.
Is moss agate a birthstone?
No. Moss agate is not a traditional birthstone, though it is often chosen as a growth and new-beginnings stone.
How big is the center stone?
5 × 15 mm, marquise cut, set north to south so the length runs along the finger. It is three times as long as it is wide, which is what gives the ring its tall, slender look.
What are the leaf-shaped side stones?
Simulated diamond, which is cubic zirconia. Two marquise leaves sit on each shoulder and a line of small rounds runs down each side of the split shank.
Can I have it engraved?
Yes. Engraving is available on the inner band, up to 16 characters, and can be added as an option at checkout.
What sizes are available?
Sizes 4 through 11, including every half size.
Does it come with a ring box?
