I can easily mute the tip of the Spanish Point. Just make your choice from the drop down when checking out.
Moissanite
Moissanite is a rare mineral composed of silicon carbide. Today, moissanite is exclusively grown in laboratories as an alternative to diamonds. Diamonds are composed of carbon and moissanites are composed of silicon carbide. Moissanites are slightly more brilliant than diamonds. Moissanite is grown in controlled laboratories by professionals. Once formed, they're cut and polished. Compared to cubic zirconia, Moissanite has a higher hardness (9.25 MOHS), more fire, and slightly more color variation, while cubic zirconia is typically colorless with less fire and a slightly lower hardness score (8.25 MOHS). Diamonds have a hardness of 10 MOHS.
24K Gold
24-karat gold is 100%, as-pure-as-it-gets gold, meaning it is non-alloyed. It is also the most expensive type of gold on the market today. Sourcing pure gold is a taxing endeavour and it is not found in abundant quantities. It is precisely this scarcity that makes 24k gold so precious, valuable, and desired.
The scales are 100% genuine awabi shell on a white backing and covered with a durable topcoat of industrial resin making them very sturdy, maintenance free and at the same time protecting the shell.
It's very difficult to accurately capture the exact colors of the scales because shell is very iridescent and changes hue at every angle.
Awabi (Abalone) are fist-sized sea snails that live in the sea around Japan at a depth of approximately twenty meters. They are usually caught by skin divers, as it is prohibited to catch awabi while using air tanks in Japan in order to prevent overfishing. Given their declining numbers and the effort required to catch them, awabi are rare and expensive, especially big ones. It takes five years for them to grow to a size of four inches. Awabi (abalone) are very precious food in Japan.
All engraving is done by hand. It takes many hours to engrave.
