Old-world romance, reimagined for the way you live now. The Esme is a vintage oval moissanite engagement ring built around a graceful 5 × 7 mm oval center — a near-colorless, D-color GRA-certified moissanite that throws more fire than a diamond — flanked by two trillion-cut moissanite accents and cradled in a filigree band that curls like flowing vines. Set in solid 925 sterling silver with a bright rhodium finish, it is an antique-inspired proposal ring made to be worn every single day.

A crown-like vintage silhouette
The Esme borrows its character from antique bridal jewelry: a raised, crown-like gallery, softly sculpted shoulders, and organic filigree that reads as flowing vines the moment it catches the light. The oval center sits slightly elevated so the stone leads, while the trillion sides step the eye outward in a balanced, romantic profile. If the elongated oval is what draws you in, you will find kindred silhouettes across our oval moissanite engagement rings, and more of this antique spirit throughout our vintage moissanite engagement rings collection.
The near-colorless moissanite center
Moissanite is a genuine gemstone in its own right — lab-grown silicon carbide, not a “fake diamond.” This center is graded D color and VVS1 clarity, meaning it reads bright white and eye-clean, with the disco-ball flashes of rainbow fire that moissanite produces more intensely than any diamond. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it is second only to diamond in hardness, so an oval this size holds its polish through daily wear. Prefer to see the full run of icy white stones? Browse our colorless moissanite engagement rings. If you are weighing the gem against a lab diamond, our guide on whether moissanite is a lab-grown diamond lays out the differences plainly.
Trillion-cut side stones
Two trillion-cut moissanite accents frame the oval with clean triangular geometry, echoing the crown motif of the setting and adding width without overwhelming the center. Cut and graded to match the D-color brilliance of the main stone, they keep the whole ring reading as one continuous flash of light rather than a center stone with afterthoughts.

Sterling silver with a rhodium finish
The Esme is crafted in solid 925 sterling silver and finished with rhodium — the same precious metal used on fine white gold. That rhodium layer gives the band a mirror-bright, white-gold luster and adds a protective shield that helps resist tarnish and everyday scratches, so a silver ring wears like something far more expensive. It is the quiet detail that keeps the filigree crisp and the metal luminous year after year.
What the Esme symbolizes
A vintage ring carries the idea of continuity — a love that references the past and intends to last into the future. The oval, endless and unbroken, has long stood for eternity, while moissanite has become the modern emblem of a brilliant, conscious choice. For the lore and symbolism behind the stone, our piece on moissanite meaning and symbolism is a lovely place to linger.

Sizing & care
Choose your size at checkout. If you are between sizes or unsure, reach out and we will help — and if the fit is not quite right, resizing is available and starts from a modest fee. To keep the moissanite and rhodium finish at their brightest, remove the ring before showering, swimming or applying lotions, and store it in the velvet box when not worn. A soft, dry cloth restores the shine, and a soft brush reaches into the filigree. With gentle care, the Esme is made to be worn every day.
Frequently asked questions
Is the moissanite real?
Yes. Moissanite is a real, lab-grown gemstone made of silicon carbide — a distinct gem, not an imitation. This center is GRA certified, graded D color and VVS1 clarity, and it produces even more fire and brilliance than a diamond of the same size.
How big is the center stone?
The oval center measures 5 × 7 mm, which reads on the finger like roughly a three-quarter to one carat oval. The elongated shape also makes the stone appear larger than a round of similar weight.
What does D color, VVS1 mean?
D is the top, most colorless grade, so the stone reads bright icy white. VVS1 describes near-flawless clarity — eye-clean with no visible inclusions. Together they give the Esme a premium, high-brilliance look.
Is moissanite more sparkly than a diamond?
In terms of fire — the colorful rainbow flashes — yes. Moissanite has a higher refractive index than diamond, so it disperses more colored light. Many people love it precisely for that extra, lively sparkle.
Is it durable enough for everyday wear?
Very. Moissanite sits at 9.25 on the Mohs scale, just below diamond, making it exceptionally scratch-resistant and well suited to daily wear as an engagement ring.
What metal is the band?
Solid 925 sterling silver, finished with rhodium for a bright white luster and extra protection against tarnish and scratches.
What does the rhodium finish do?
Rhodium is the same precious metal used to finish fine white gold. It gives the silver a mirror-bright, white-gold-like shine and adds a protective layer that helps the ring stay looking freshly polished.
Does it come with certification?
Yes. Each ring includes a GRA certificate for the center moissanite, documenting its color, clarity and specifications.
How long does it take to make?
The Esme is made to order, so please allow approximately 2 to 6 weeks for production. Each ring is set by hand once you order, and we ship it as soon as it is ready.
Can it be resized?
Yes. Select your size at checkout, and if the fit is not quite right, resizing is available and starts from a modest fee. When in doubt, contact us before ordering and we will help you find the right size.
Will the silver turn my finger green?
No. Genuine 925 sterling silver with a rhodium finish does not discolor skin. Green marks are associated with cheap copper-heavy alloys, not real sterling silver.
Are the stones ethically sourced?
Yes. All of our moissanite is lab-grown and our materials are ethically sourced and conflict-free, so you can wear the Esme with complete peace of mind.
Does it arrive gift-ready?
Every order ships in a free luxury velvet gift box and is backed by our lifetime warranty — ready for a proposal or to give as a keepsake.
