Handmade Moissanite Pinwheel Cluster Ring — 10K & 14K Gold, GRA Certified Moissanite

José Lux builds the Moissanite Pinwheel Cluster Ring in 10K gold (41.7% pure gold) and 14K gold (58.3% pure gold), in Yellow, White, or Rose Gold. The gold weight is 1.28 g in 10K gold and 1.44 g in 14K gold. Every stone on this ring is Moissanite, GRA Certified at the center — there’s no Swiss CZ anywhere on the ring. A dense cluster of round Moissanite stones swirls at the center, set around curved, fan-shaped blades of gold that spin outward like a pinwheel. From that center, four points reach out in a cross pattern, each set with a graduated line of stones that taper smaller toward the tip. It’s a different structure from our Starburst Cluster ring, where bare stems connect separate clusters — here, every point along the pinwheel carries its own stones, right out to the tip.

Setting a graduated line of stones so each one steps down evenly in size toward the tip takes more matching work at the bench than a single uniform row. The curved blades woven through the center cluster have to sit at the same pitch on all sides, or the pinwheel reads lopsided instead of spinning evenly. We’ve been alloying gold and setting Moissanite at the same bench in Hồ Chí Minh City for years. The Pinwheel is dense at the center and tapered at every point — getting both right in the same setting takes more bench time than either alone.

The Moissanite Cluster — A Swirling Center, Four Tapered Points

The stone at the very center of the pinwheel, where the blades converge, 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.

Every other stone in the cluster and along the four points is the same material, cut and matched to the center stone for color and brilliance. José Lux hand-selects each one at the bench so the graduated lines step down smoothly and the swirling center reads as one continuous shape, not a patchwork of mismatched sizes. What they don’t carry is an individual GRA report — grading every melee-sized stone across a cluster and four tapered points isn’t practical at this price point, and we’d rather say that plainly than let you assume otherwise. The center stone is the one with the paperwork. Every other stone on the ring is the same certified-grade Moissanite, hand-set, without individual certificates.

Because the stones taper along each point instead of stopping at a fixed edge, the sparkle fades gradually into bare metal rather than cutting off sharply — the pinwheel shape holds even where the stones run out.

The Gold and Karat Options

The band is solid gold — never gold-filled, never gold-plated. José Lux offers the Pinwheel Cluster Ring 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. 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.

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 and the pinwheel blades are cast from a 3D CAD design using lost-wax casting, then hand-set with the Moissanite stones point by point, and 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.

Warranty and Repairs

Every José Lux gold ring carries a lifetime warranty. Repairs are free — for life, no expiration date. Every prong across the center cluster and all four points is checked and adjusted by hand before the ring ships, which is why a stone coming loose from normal daily wear is rare.

If a Moissanite stone does come loose under everyday use — no drops, no impact — José Lux resets it for free, anywhere on the pinwheel. 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. The smallest stones sit at the tips of each point, set into the thinnest part of the metal, so they’re the first place wear tends to show over years of daily use — worth knowing if you wear rings while working with your hands. 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.

Our Workshop

José Lux works out of Hồ Chí Minh City, Vietnam. The same team that alloys the gold sets the center cluster and grades every point down to its smallest stone by hand — nothing about this ring passes through a third-party factory. A graduated line of stones is harder to get right than a uniform row: each stone has to step down at the right rate, on all four points at once, or the pinwheel stops looking like it spins. We’ve done it enough times to know where it goes wrong, and where it holds.

Specifications

FAQ

Is every stone on this ring Moissanite, or is some of it CZ?

Every stone on the Moissanite Pinwheel Cluster Ring is Moissanite — the center cluster and all four tapered points. That’s different from José Lux’s channel and pavé settings on other lines, which pair a Moissanite center with Swiss CZ (Cubic Zirconia) accents. Here, there’s no CZ anywhere on the ring. The center stone carries its own GRA certificate; every other stone is the same material, hand-matched, without individual reports.

What’s the difference between this and José Lux's Moissanite Starburst Cluster Ring?

The Starburst Cluster Ring connects three separate stone clusters with bare gold stems that carry no stones themselves. The Pinwheel Cluster Ring is denser and more continuous — a swirling cluster at the center, woven with curved gold blades, extends into four points that are set with a graduated, tapering line of stones all the way to the tip. There’s no bare stem here; the sparkle runs the full length of every point.

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.

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 Pinwheel Cluster set?

A dense cluster of round Moissanite stones fills the center, woven with curved gold blades that spin outward like a pinwheel. Four points extend from that center in a cross pattern, each set with a graduated line of stones that steps down in size toward the tip. Every stone is prong-set by hand, from the densest part of the cluster to the smallest stone at the end of each point.

What does the warranty cover?

A lifetime warranty with free repairs. If a Moissanite stone — anywhere on the pinwheel — comes loose from normal daily wear, José Lux resets it at no charge. Damage from a drop or a hard impact isn’t covered as a manufacturing defect, and the smallest stones at the tips of each point sit in the thinnest part of the metal, so it’s worth being mindful of wear if you do hands-on work while wearing the ring. 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.
