Four Ways to Wear It
Wedding Band
A 6 mm dome is the most-worn width in this range — substantial without being heavy, and low enough to sit under a glove or a watch cuff.
Engagement Ring
The bezel-set marquise gives it a real focal point, which most plain bands do not have.
Worn by Anyone
Nothing about the design is gendered. On a smaller hand the 6 mm reads bold rather than masculine, as a wide band or a solitaire alternative.
A 6 mm width is most often searched as a men's band, and that is where you will find this ring shelved in our collections — but it is genuinely unisex, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise. If you are weighing widths, our wedding band width guide is the place to start, and how to choose a men's engagement ring covers the newer half of the question.
Moons and Stars
This is the Nightbriar celestial vocabulary cut down to band scale. Two crescent moons face the center stone, each pavé-set and edged in milgrain beading, with a four-point star sitting further out on each shoulder. It is a night-sky motif rather than a floral one — the same language as the Nightbriar rings, on a shape a man will actually wear.
Because it matches in metal as well as in motif, this band pairs directly with the Nightbriar gray moissanite and black onyx bridal set in sterling silver. Same finish, same stone, same sky.
The Gray Moissanite
Moissanite is silicon carbide, lab-grown, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale it is harder than every gemstone except diamond — which is exactly what you want in a stone set into a band that gets worn through actual work. Our guide to moissanite meaning covers the stone in more depth.
The center is cut in a dark gray — a smoky, storm-cloud tone that keeps the brilliance of a clear moissanite while reading close to black at a distance. Against bright rhodium it is the only dark thing on the ring, which is what makes the moons read as moons.
It is bezel-set — the metal wraps the girdle completely rather than gripping it with prongs. On a band worn hard that means nothing catches, nothing snags, and there are no prongs to wear down. The marquise sits north–south, as our guide to marquise cuts explains.
Metal and Fit
Solid 925 sterling silver with a rhodium finish — the same platinum-group metal used on white gold. The rhodium gives the bright white surface and shields the silver underneath from tarnishing.
The profile is a dome: rounded on the outside, flat on the inside, in a standard fit. If you are used to comfort-fit bands, order your true size rather than sizing down — standard fit runs slightly snugger on the same number.

Care
Moissanite is 9.25 on the Mohs scale and among the most durable stones available. Clean with warm water, mild soap and a soft brush — our guide to cleaning sterling silver covers the method, and pay attention to the pavé, where skin oils collect. Avoid abrasive polishes and chlorine, which wear the rhodium finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a men's ring or a women's ring?
Either. Nothing about the design is gendered. A 6 mm width is most commonly worn by men, which is why you will also find it in our men's collections, but it works equally as a women's wedding band or as an engagement ring for anyone.
Does it match the Nightbriar rings?
Yes. It shares the celestial motif and the gray moissanite of the Nightbriar bridal set in sterling silver, and it is the same metal and finish, so the two sit together as a matched pair.
Is the moissanite real?
Yes. Moissanite is a genuine gemstone — silicon carbide — lab-grown rather than mined. It is not a diamond and not a diamond simulant in the cubic zirconia sense; it is its own mineral, harder than everything except diamond.
What does dark gray moissanite look like?
Smoky and storm-colored. It keeps the fire of a clear moissanite but reads close to black from a distance, so it shifts between gray and near-black depending on the light.
Are the pavé stones moissanite too?
No. The small stones in the crescents and stars are cubic zirconia. Moissanite or lab-grown diamond accents are available as a custom order.
What does bezel-set mean, and why here?
The metal wraps around the whole girdle of the stone instead of holding it with prongs. On a band worn every day it means nothing snags on fabric and there are no prongs to wear thin or catch.
Is it standard fit or comfort fit?
Standard fit — flat on the inside. If you normally wear comfort-fit bands, order your true measured size rather than sizing down; standard fit runs a touch snugger at the same number.
How wide is 6 mm on the hand?
It is a substantial everyday width without dominating the finger. On a smaller hand it reads as a bold wide band rather than a men's ring.
What is it made of?
Solid 925 sterling silver throughout, hallmarked, with a rhodium finish for a bright white surface. No brass or base metal.
Will the silver tarnish?
The rhodium finish acts as a barrier, so it resists the darkening untreated sterling develops. The finish does wear thin after years of daily wear — we can refinish the band when it does.
Can it be resized or engraved?
Yes to both. Resizing starts from $45, and engraving is available on the inner band up to 16 characters, added as an option at checkout.
Are the stones ethically sourced?
Yes. All Aquamarise stones are conflict-free and responsibly sourced, and every order arrives in a free luxury velvet jewelry box.
