Handmade Moissanite Bezel Halo Ring — 10K & 14K Gold, GRA Certified Moissanite Center

José Lux builds the Moissanite Bezel Halo Ring in 10K gold (41.7% pure gold) and 14K gold (58.3% pure gold), in Yellow, White, or Rose Gold. Gold weight is 7.85 g in 10K gold and 8.84 g in 14K gold. The center stone is Moissanite, GRA Certified, held by a continuous bezel — a rim of solid gold that circles the stone completely, with no prongs. That bezel sits inside a stepped square frame that funnels down toward the stone from all four sides. A single-row pavé halo of Swiss CZ (Cubic Zirconia) frames the bezel on all four edges. Only the center stone is Moissanite; the halo is Swiss CZ, hand-set stone by stone.

Bezel-setting a stone is less forgiving than prong-setting one. The rim of metal has to be shaped and burnished evenly around the entire stone — there's no prong to fall back on if the fit is off anywhere along the edge. The stepped frame beneath it has to taper cleanly down to the bezel without crowding it, and the pavé halo has to run flush along all four sides, mitered cleanly at the corners. José Lux sets the bezel first, then works the halo, then cuts the ridged shoulder lines last. We've been alloying gold and setting Moissanite and Swiss CZ at the same bench in Hồ Chí Minh City for years, and a clean bezel is one of the more exacting jobs we do.

The Moissanite Center and Swiss CZ Bezel Halo — Center to Edge

The center stone is GRA Certified Moissanite — Color D-FL, colorless and internally flawless, Mohs 9.25. It ships with its own GRA report, carrying a unique laser-inscribed ID traceable to that specific stone. Moissanite isn't a diamond, and José Lux won't tell you it is. It's lab-created silicon carbide with its own optical signature — more fire than diamond, which means more rainbow flash under direct light.

The stones in the halo are Swiss CZ, not Moissanite. José Lux hand-sets each one at the bench so the pavé sits flush against the bezel on all four sides, with the corners mitered clean. Swiss CZ doesn't carry a GRA report — that certification is specific to the Moissanite center. The center stone is the one piece of this ring with paperwork attached to it; the halo is built to frame it, not to compete with it.

Because the center stone is bezel-set rather than held by open prongs, less light reaches it from the side — it reads steadier and more contained, while the pavé halo around it supplies the surrounding sparkle. Turn your hand and the halo catches light in a tight square frame around a center that holds its own quieter flash.

The Gold and Karat Options

The band is solid gold — never gold-filled, never gold-plated. José Lux offers it in 10K gold (41.7% pure gold) and 14K gold (58.3% pure gold). 10K carries less pure gold and more of the harder alloy metals, so it resists everyday scratching a little better — a real factor on a ring built for daily wear. 14K carries more pure gold, which reads deeper and warmer, especially in Yellow Gold. Neither is the "better" metal — they're two different tradeoffs, and José Lux sells both instead of steering you toward one. The karat you pick only changes the band; the Moissanite center and Swiss CZ halo stay the same on both options.

Every karat comes in Yellow, White, or Rose Gold. The color isn't a coating — it comes from the alloy formula, the ratio of copper, silver, zinc, or palladium mixed into the gold during alloying. José Lux's White Gold is nickel-free; the white tone comes from silver, zinc, or palladium in the mix, not nickel, which matters if you're sensitive to it.

Every ring goes through four stages at the José Lux workshop before it ships. We alloy 24K gold down to 10K or 14K by hand, in the exact ratio for the karat and color ordered. The band is cast from a 3D CAD design using lost-wax casting, then hand-set — the Moissanite center bezel first, then the Swiss CZ halo — before the ridged shoulder lines are cut and the ring is polished to finish. Before it leaves Hồ Chí Minh City, we test the karat with an XRF machine, check for nickel, and stamp the legal karat hallmark.

Certification

The center stone ships with a full GRA gemological report — Color D-FL, Mohs 9.25, and a unique report number traceable to that stone. It's a Moissanite report, not a diamond grading report, and José Lux states that plainly rather than let the paperwork imply something it isn't. The Swiss CZ halo stones are not individually certified — Swiss CZ is priced and set as an accent stone, not a graded one.

Warranty and Repairs

Every José Lux gold ring carries a lifetime warranty. Repairs are free — for life, no expiration date. The bezel and every halo stone on this ring are checked by hand before it ships, which is why a stone coming loose from normal daily wear is rare.

If a stone does come loose under everyday use — no drops, no impact — José Lux resets it for free. Swiss CZ resetting is always free, since José Lux imports these stones in bulk. Moissanite center resetting is always free as well. What's not covered: stone loss from a hard impact, a drop, or a strike against a hard surface. That's not treated as a manufacturing defect. José Lux reviews every case individually before deciding next steps, and if a repair falls outside the warranty, we'll still fix it at cost, with a quote before anything is done.

Shipping

Ships free via USPS to the United States. Delivery takes 5–7 business days. Every order is 100% insured on its declared value — including cases where an incorrect address was provided at checkout. If something goes wrong in transit, you're covered in full.

Your ring travels inside a shock-absorbing layer, packed in its own jewelry box, then inside a protective outer box. Every order includes a cleaning cloth and a José Lux warranty card. The same team that set your bezel and halo is the one that packs and ships your order.

Our Workshop

José Lux works out of Hồ Chí Minh City, Vietnam. The same team that alloys the gold sets the Moissanite bezel, hand-sets the Swiss CZ halo, and cuts the ridged shoulder lines — nothing about this ring passes through a third-party factory. A bezel setting is one of the less forgiving techniques we work with: the rim has to sit flush against the stone all the way around, with no prong to hide an uneven fit. We've done it enough times to know where it goes wrong, and where it holds.

FAQ

Is the center stone Moissanite, or is the halo Moissanite too?

Only the center stone is Moissanite — GRA Certified, Color D-FL, Mohs 9.25, with its own laser-inscribed ID. The pavé halo framing the bezel is Swiss CZ (Cubic Zirconia). That's true across every karat and color option — the center stays Moissanite and the halo stays Swiss CZ no matter which one you choose.

What's the difference between 10K and 14K gold?

10K gold is 41.7% pure gold; 14K gold is 58.3% pure gold. 10K carries more of the harder alloy metals, so it resists everyday scratching a little better. 14K carries more pure gold, which reads richer and warmer, especially in Yellow Gold. Both are solid gold — José Lux never sells gold-filled or gold-plated pieces. The karat you pick only changes the band; the Moissanite center and Swiss CZ halo stay the same on both.

Is this ring solid gold, or is it plated?

Solid gold, in both karats. José Lux doesn't sell gold-filled, gold vermeil, or gold-plated pieces on this line. The color — Yellow, White, or Rose — comes from what's alloyed into the gold, not a surface coating.

How is the Bezel Halo set?

The center stone is held by a continuous gold bezel — a rim of metal that circles the stone with no prongs — set inside a stepped square frame that tapers down toward it. A single-row pavé halo of Swiss CZ frames that bezel on all four sides, mitered clean at the corners. Bezel-setting takes more precision than prong-setting, since there's no prong to fall back on if the fit isn't even.

What does the warranty cover?

A lifetime warranty with free repairs. Swiss CZ resetting is always free, and so is Moissanite center-stone resetting, if a stone comes loose from normal daily wear. Damage from a drop or a hard impact isn't covered as a manufacturing defect; José Lux reviews those cases individually and quotes any repair before starting it.

How does shipping work?

Free USPS to the United States, 5–7 business days. Every order is 100% insured on its declared value, including cases where the shipping address was entered incorrectly at checkout.

Where is this ring made?

Handmade at the José Lux workshop in Hồ Chí Minh City, Vietnam — alloying, casting, stone-setting, and polishing all happen at the same bench.
