Morganite Oval Split-Shank Solitaire Ring

An oval natural morganite rests high on an open split-shank band, the parted shoulders opening up around that soft blush-pink color for a light, airy look. Take it in rose gold to echo the stone's own blush and make the color glow, in yellow gold for a warm contrast, or in white gold or platinum to keep everything cool and let the pink read even softer and cleaner. As with essentially all morganite in the trade, its blush-pink color is commonly brought out by gentle heat that reduces faint yellow-orange tints - a stable, permanent and standard practice - and every center stone is genuine natural morganite, not lab-created and not imitation. Morganite is the pink member of the beryl family - the same mineral group as emerald and aquamarine - prized for its clean, romantic blush color, which makes it a favorite for engagement and anniversary pieces even though it carries no traditional birthstone month of its own. Morganite is a 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs hardness scale, so it wears well day to day; clean it with warm water, mild soap and a soft brush, avoid harsh chemicals and hard knocks, and store it apart from harder stones. It ships boxed and ready to give. Quick answers Stone: natural morganite, 8 x 6 mm.
