This ring is gorgeous!! The combination between the yellow gold vermeil and the white and green gemstones is very pleasing to the eyes. The center gemstone is premium Hebei peridot (eye-clean) that is haloed in sparkly moissanite. The natural peridot is a large, 11x9mm oval cut. The 18 round lab-created moissanite gemstones are all 2mm and are over 0.50 carats. The peridot, reminiscent of sunlit meadows, pairs harmoniously with the moissanite's dazzling brilliance. All gemstones are prong set in 925 sterling silver then plated in 18K yellow gold giving the piece a royal elegance. There is 2.5 microns of 18K yellow gold vermeil, which is a premium jewelry finish that only uses genuine gold and precious sterling silver. The coating of vermeil prevents tarnishing, increases the metal-life, and offers a superior finish. The ring is made in a size 7.75 and is stamped 925 and signed. (The retail value for this ring is $550.) Meticulously crafted to perfection, this ring will become a favorite in your jewelry collection. 

 
Most gemstones are formed in earth's crust, but peridot is formed much deeper in the mantle region. Peridot crystals form in magma from the upper mantle and are brought to the surface by volcanic activity where they are found in extrusive igneous rocks. It is believed to grow abundance and prosperity and help find lost objects. Peridot is for lovers. It enhances harmony in relationships especially marriage lessening anger and jealousy and increasing patience.
 
Moissanite's occurrence in nature is extremely rare and has only been found in upper mantle rock and meteorites. Discoveries have shown moissanite occurs naturally as inclusions in diamonds, xenoliths, kimberlite, and lamproite. Moissanite rings are becoming an increasingly popular choice--for all the best reasons. It has more fire and brilliance than any other gemstone, meaning it has more sparkle. Because moissanite is double refractive, it is cut differently than diamonds to enhance that sparkle. Also, it is a very hard gemstone, second only to diamond.
