2 Carat Moissanite Bypass Ring

A bypass ring does something clever with a very simple idea. Instead of meeting in a closed circle, the band crosses over itself and passes by, so the ends sit alongside each other rather than joining. It gives the ring a sense of movement that a plain band never has, like the silver has been caught mid gesture. Set a two carat moissanite into that crossover and you have something that looks far more considered than the average solitaire.

The band is crafted from 925 sterling silver and the stone is moissanite, with a carat weight of 2ct. Sizes run from 5 through 9, with band circumference measuring 2 inches at a size 5 and rising to 2.4 inches at a size 9, so you can pick a real fit rather than settling for one size. If you are buying this as a surprise, take a ring the wearer already owns and measure the inside against the table below. It arrives in a matching box. Moissanite jewelry over 0.3 carats includes a certificate of stone properties.

The crossover shape makes this a good ring to wear alone, since the lines already do enough on their own and a stack tends to fight with them. On the index or middle finger it reads modern and a little architectural. On the ring finger it works as an alternative to a traditional engagement style for anyone who wants the sparkle without the expected silhouette. Being sterling silver, it sits naturally with other silver pieces, so a fine chain bracelet or small studs will tie the look together. Put it on after hand cream has settled and take it off before washing up, and the stone will stay clear for longer.
