Is black rutilated quartz durable enough for daily wear?

It is quartz, so it is softer than diamond, sapphire or moissanite and can scratch or chip with hard knocks. The bezel setting protects the edges, which helps, but take it off for gym work, gardening and cleaning.

What is the difference between black rutilated quartz and black tourmaline?

Black rutilated quartz is clear quartz shot through with black needle-like rutile inclusions. Black tourmaline is a separate mineral. The stone here is the quartz with black needles.

Can I order it in gold instead of silver?

Yes. The ring is made in sterling silver, 10k, 14k or 18k gold, or platinum, and you choose the metal when ordering. Higher-karat gold and platinum cost more and wear differently.

Does the matching band come with the ring?

No. The matching band is a separate option you add when ordering. The main ring is the solitaire-style piece with the quartz center and moissanite accents.

Are the accent stones real diamonds?

No. The accents are moissanite, set in prongs and pave. Moissanite is harder than quartz and throws strong sparkle, but it is not diamond.

How should I care for the ring?

Clean with mild soap, warm water and a soft brush, and dry fully. Store it apart from harder jewelry to avoid scratches, and have a jeweler check the pave settings once a year.
