This ring brings together the elements that define that look, an elongated old mine cushion, a beaded milgrain frame and a softly split band, and makes them in colourless moissanite in the metal and carat weight you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is designed and made by Mapple Gems and is inspired by a style Taylor Swift has been publicly photographed wearing. It is not the same ring, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Taylor Swift. The centre stone is moissanite, not diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAn antique cut in a vintage frame\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe old mine cut is the ancestor of the modern cushion. It was the standard diamond cut of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, shaped by hand long before the modern round brilliant was worked out, and it is recognised by its softly squared outline, high crown, small table and broad, blocky facets. Instead of the fine pinfire sparkle of a modern brilliant it throws big, slow flashes of light, which is why it is often described as having a candlelit look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMilgrain is a line of tiny beads raised along the edge of the metal. It was a signature finish of Edwardian and Art Deco jewellery, and here it traces the whole outline of the bezel so the frame reads as fine detail rather than a hard rim. Four small claws sit at the corners over the bezel, which adds security and a little more of that antique character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBelow the head the band splits into two slim rails. The split gives the setting an open, airy look from the side, lets more light reach the stone and makes the head appear to float above the finger, while the back of the band stays a single comfortable shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the old mine cushion cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe old mine cut is the antique forerunner of today's cushion: a softly squared outline with a high crown, a small table and broad facets. It gives large, slow flashes of light rather than fine sparkle, and in an elongated outline it looks long, graceful and unmistakably vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIs this style right for you?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompared with a modern cushion in open claws, this design pairs the older, chunkier old mine faceting with a closed milgrain bezel and a split shank. Choose it if you want a softer, heirloom character rather than crisp modern sparkle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat moissanite actually is\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite is silicon carbide, a crystal first identified by the French chemist Henri Moissan in 1893 in fragments of the Canyon Diablo meteorite in Arizona. He won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1906, and the mineral was named after him. Natural moissanite is vanishingly rare, so every moissanite sold as a gemstone today is grown in a laboratory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is what that means for a ring you will wear every day:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness 9.25 on the Mohs scale.\u003c\/strong\u003e Only diamond and a handful of laboratory materials are harder. It will not scratch from ordinary wear, and it is well suited to a ring worn daily for decades.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRefractive index of 2.65 to 2.69\u003c\/strong\u003e, higher than diamond at 2.42. More light is bent back to the eye, which is why a moissanite reads noticeably brighter than a diamond of the same size under the same light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDispersion of 0.104\u003c\/strong\u003e, against 0.044 for diamond. Dispersion is the splitting of white light into spectral colours. This is the origin of the rainbow fire moissanite is known for, most visible in direct sun or under spotlights.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoubly refractive.\u003c\/strong\u003e Under strong magnification a gemmologist can see facet edges doubled. To the naked eye it looks like extra brilliance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite is not cubic zirconia and it is not glass. Cubic zirconia is far softer at 8 to 8.5 on the Mohs scale, it clouds and abrades within a few years of daily wear, and it has little resale value. Moissanite keeps its polish and its brightness indefinitely. It is also not a diamond, laboratory grown or mined, and we never describe it as one. It is its own gemstone with its own optical signature, chosen by people who want maximum presence on the hand for a fraction of the cost of a diamond of the same size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery moissanite we set is graded colourless, the top colour band for moissanite, and VVS clarity, which means any inclusions are extremely difficult to find even under ten times magnification. Nothing is visible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your metal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is made to order in ten metals, so the version you choose is the version we build. There is no plating over a base metal and no filled or bonded gold anywhere in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e925 sterling silver\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most affordable way to own the design. It is 92.5 per cent pure silver, bright white, and it takes a high polish. Silver is softer than gold and will pick up fine surface marks with daily wear. It can also tarnish, and a soft polishing cloth brings it straight back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 41.7 per cent pure gold. It is the hardest and most scratch resistant of the three gold alloys, a sensible choice for hands that work. The colour is a little paler than 14K.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e14K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 58.5 per cent pure gold and it is what most engagement rings sold in the United States are made from. It balances a warm, convincing colour against real everyday durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 75 per cent pure gold. It has the deepest, richest colour and the most weight in the hand. It is also the softest of the three, so it marks a little more readily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eYellow gold is gold alloyed with silver and copper. Rose gold takes more copper, which gives the warm pink tone. White gold is alloyed with palladium or nickel and finished with rhodium plating, which gives it a bright white face. Rhodium wears thin over time and wants redoing roughly every one to two years, which any jeweller can do quickly. Every gold ring is stamped with its karat mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your carat size\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is offered in 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat centre stones. Carat is a unit of weight, not of width, and the photographs may show a different size from the one you choose. The version you select is the one we make.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most chosen size. It is unmistakably a statement stone and still sits comfortably under a glove or a coat sleeve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a clear step up in presence and photographs beautifully. This is where most people land when they want the ring to be the first thing anyone notices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e covers the finger generously and suits longer fingers and larger ring sizes particularly well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a red carpet stone, the closest to the celebrity look. It is the size people ask about across a room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are between sizes, order the smaller centre stone in a richer metal rather than the larger stone in the cheapest one. A well made ring in 14K or 18K gold ages far better than an oversized stone on a thin shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMade to order in our own workshop\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a family run jewellery workshop in Surat, in Gujarat, India. Surat is where roughly nine out of every ten diamonds in the world are cut and polished, and the bench skills that grew up around that trade are what this ring is built on. We do not hold finished stock. When your order comes in, a goldsmith casts your metal in your size, a setter places every stone by hand under a microscope, and the piece is polished, checked and photographed before it leaves us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking takes ten to fourteen working days for most orders. Shipping is free worldwide and fully insured, and it is normally three to seven working days once the ring has left the bench. Buying direct from the bench is the reason a ring like this costs what it does here rather than several times more on a high street.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCaring for your ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite attracts skin oil and hand cream the same way diamond does, and a film of it is the single most common reason a ring looks dull. Soak the ring for ten minutes in warm water with a drop of washing up liquid, brush gently behind and underneath the stone with a soft toothbrush, rinse and pat dry with a lint free cloth. Once a fortnight is plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTake the ring off before the gym, gardening, swimming pools and hot tubs, and before using bleach or oven cleaner. Chlorine attacks the alloys in gold over time and does nothing good to sterling silver. Store it on its own rather than loose in a box with other pieces. Have the claws or setting checked by a jeweller once a year. White gold will want its rhodium refreshed every one to two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions people ask about this ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same ring Taylor Swift wears?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This is our own ring, made in our workshop and inspired by a style Taylor Swift has been publicly photographed wearing. It is set with moissanite rather than diamond, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Taylor Swift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is an old mine cushion cut?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is an antique style cushion with a high crown, a small table and large facets, the cut that came before the modern cushion brilliant. It shows broad flashes of light rather than fine sparkle, and in an elongated outline it reads long and elegant on the finger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the bezel make the stone look smaller?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVery slightly. A bezel adds a thin frame of metal around the stone, and the milgrain edge keeps that frame delicate. In return it protects the whole edge of the stone from knocks, which is why bezels are one of the most secure settings there are.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan this ring be resized?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The back of the band is a single plain shank, so any jeweller can size it up or down without touching the split or the bezel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat colour and clarity is the moissanite?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery moissanite centre stone is graded colourless with VVS clarity. Colourless is the top colour band for moissanite, and VVS means inclusions are extremely difficult to see even under ten times magnification. The grades are the same on every metal and every carat weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill people be able to tell it is not a diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot by looking. Both stones are colourless and brilliantly cut, and at arm length they read the same. In direct sunlight moissanite throws more rainbow coloured fire than a diamond does, which is the only tell most people would ever notice. Telling the two apart with certainty needs a conductivity tester, or a loupe and the training to read facet doubling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes moissanite get cloudy or lose its sparkle over time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it is one of the hardest gem materials there is, and it does not abrade, cloud or dull with wear the way cubic zirconia does. What makes any ring look dull is a film of skin oil, soap and hand cream, and a gentle clean restores it completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat ring sizes can I order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe make sizes 1.5 to 13, including every half size. Choose your size at checkout. If you are unsure, measure a ring that already fits the correct finger, or ask a local jeweller to size you, and remember that fingers run slightly larger in hot weather and late in the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long will it take to arrive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery ring is made to order in our workshop in Surat. Allow ten to fourteen working days for making, plus three to seven working days for insured worldwide shipping. If you have a proposal date, tell us when you order and we will confirm whether we can meet it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the metal solid, or is it plated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is solid throughout. 925 sterling silver is 92.5 per cent pure silver, and the gold options are solid 10K, 14K or 18K alloy stamped with the karat mark. Nothing in this range is gold plated, gold filled or gold bonded. White gold carries a rhodium finish on the surface, which is standard for all white gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the wedding band included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The price is for the engagement ring alone. Wedding bands are sold separately, and we are happy to advise which of ours sits best beside this design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo you offer engraving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, and there is no charge for it. Tell us the wording when you order and we will engrave the inside of the band. Most people choose a date, a set of initials or a short phrase. Allow up to about twenty five characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is your returns policy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReturns are accepted within thirty days of delivery on an unworn ring in its original packaging. Because every piece is made to order, engraved rings and rings made to a non standard specification are handled case by case. Write to us and we will sort it out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2

It is not the same ring, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Winnie Harlow. The centre stone is moissanite, not diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy pears sit so well beside an oval\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA pear has one rounded end and one point. Set with the rounded end against the oval and the point facing out, each side stone continues the curve of the centre stone and then draws it to a fine tip, so the three stones read as a single elongated shape across the finger rather than three separate stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat tapering outline is also what makes this design flattering. It adds width at the centre and length along the band, which visually lengthens the finger in the same way an oval on its own does, only more so.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band is kept plain and slim on purpose. With three stones in the head there is plenty of light at the top of the ring, and a quiet band lets the outline of the stones do the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the oval cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe oval cut is an elongated brilliant cut with about 56 to 58 facets. It carries roughly 10 per cent more face up surface than a round of the same weight, so it reads larger on the finger and lengthens the look of the hand. It is one of the most requested engagement shapes, and it is cut here to the same proportions we would use for a diamond of the same outline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIs this style right for you?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRound or half moon side stones add width to an oval three stone. Pears add length and movement instead, so choose this design if you want the ring to look long, fluid and elegant on the finger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat moissanite actually is\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite is silicon carbide, a crystal first identified by the French chemist Henri Moissan in 1893 in fragments of the Canyon Diablo meteorite in Arizona. He won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1906, and the mineral was named after him. Natural moissanite is vanishingly rare, so every moissanite sold as a gemstone today is grown in a laboratory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is what that means for a ring you will wear every day:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness 9.25 on the Mohs scale.\u003c\/strong\u003e Only diamond and a handful of laboratory materials are harder. It will not scratch from ordinary wear, and it is well suited to a ring worn daily for decades.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRefractive index of 2.65 to 2.69\u003c\/strong\u003e, higher than diamond at 2.42. More light is bent back to the eye, which is why a moissanite reads noticeably brighter than a diamond of the same size under the same light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDispersion of 0.104\u003c\/strong\u003e, against 0.044 for diamond. Dispersion is the splitting of white light into spectral colours. This is the origin of the rainbow fire moissanite is known for, most visible in direct sun or under spotlights.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoubly refractive.\u003c\/strong\u003e Under strong magnification a gemmologist can see facet edges doubled. To the naked eye it looks like extra brilliance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite is not cubic zirconia and it is not glass. Cubic zirconia is far softer at 8 to 8.5 on the Mohs scale, it clouds and abrades within a few years of daily wear, and it has little resale value. Moissanite keeps its polish and its brightness indefinitely. It is also not a diamond, laboratory grown or mined, and we never describe it as one. It is its own gemstone with its own optical signature, chosen by people who want maximum presence on the hand for a fraction of the cost of a diamond of the same size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery moissanite we set is graded colourless, the top colour band for moissanite, and VVS clarity, which means any inclusions are extremely difficult to find even under ten times magnification. Nothing is visible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your metal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is made to order in ten metals, so the version you choose is the version we build. There is no plating over a base metal and no filled or bonded gold anywhere in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e925 sterling silver\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most affordable way to own the design. It is 92.5 per cent pure silver, bright white, and it takes a high polish. Silver is softer than gold and will pick up fine surface marks with daily wear. It can also tarnish, and a soft polishing cloth brings it straight back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 41.7 per cent pure gold. It is the hardest and most scratch resistant of the three gold alloys, a sensible choice for hands that work. The colour is a little paler than 14K.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e14K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 58.5 per cent pure gold and it is what most engagement rings sold in the United States are made from. It balances a warm, convincing colour against real everyday durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 75 per cent pure gold. It has the deepest, richest colour and the most weight in the hand. It is also the softest of the three, so it marks a little more readily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eYellow gold is gold alloyed with silver and copper. Rose gold takes more copper, which gives the warm pink tone. White gold is alloyed with palladium or nickel and finished with rhodium plating, which gives it a bright white face. Rhodium wears thin over time and wants redoing roughly every one to two years, which any jeweller can do quickly. Every gold ring is stamped with its karat mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your carat size\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is offered in 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat centre stones. Carat is a unit of weight, not of width, and the photographs may show a different size from the one you choose. The version you select is the one we make.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most chosen size. It is unmistakably a statement stone and still sits comfortably under a glove or a coat sleeve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a clear step up in presence and photographs beautifully. This is where most people land when they want the ring to be the first thing anyone notices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e covers the finger generously and suits longer fingers and larger ring sizes particularly well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a red carpet stone, the closest to the celebrity look. It is the size people ask about across a room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are between sizes, order the smaller centre stone in a richer metal rather than the larger stone in the cheapest one. A well made ring in 14K or 18K gold ages far better than an oversized stone on a thin shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMade to order in our own workshop\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a family run jewellery workshop in Surat, in Gujarat, India. Surat is where roughly nine out of every ten diamonds in the world are cut and polished, and the bench skills that grew up around that trade are what this ring is built on. We do not hold finished stock. When your order comes in, a goldsmith casts your metal in your size, a setter places every stone by hand under a microscope, and the piece is polished, checked and photographed before it leaves us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking takes ten to fourteen working days for most orders. Shipping is free worldwide and fully insured, and it is normally three to seven working days once the ring has left the bench. Buying direct from the bench is the reason a ring like this costs what it does here rather than several times more on a high street.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCaring for your ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite attracts skin oil and hand cream the same way diamond does, and a film of it is the single most common reason a ring looks dull. Soak the ring for ten minutes in warm water with a drop of washing up liquid, brush gently behind and underneath the stone with a soft toothbrush, rinse and pat dry with a lint free cloth. Once a fortnight is plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTake the ring off before the gym, gardening, swimming pools and hot tubs, and before using bleach or oven cleaner. Chlorine attacks the alloys in gold over time and does nothing good to sterling silver. Store it on its own rather than loose in a box with other pieces. Have the claws or setting checked by a jeweller once a year. White gold will want its rhodium refreshed every one to two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions people ask about this ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same ring Winnie Harlow wears?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This is our own ring, made in our workshop and inspired by a style Winnie Harlow has been publicly photographed wearing. It is set with moissanite rather than diamond, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Winnie Harlow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the carat option refer to?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe carat option is the weight of the oval centre stone. The two pear side stones are set in addition to it, so the total stone weight on the ring is higher than the carat you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat does a three stone ring symbolise?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree stone rings are traditionally said to stand for the past, the present and the future of a relationship, which is a big part of why they are so popular for engagements and anniversaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan this ring be resized?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The band is plain all the way round, so any jeweller can resize it easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat colour and clarity is the moissanite?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery moissanite centre stone is graded colourless with VVS clarity. Colourless is the top colour band for moissanite, and VVS means inclusions are extremely difficult to see even under ten times magnification. The grades are the same on every metal and every carat weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill people be able to tell it is not a diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot by looking. Both stones are colourless and brilliantly cut, and at arm length they read the same. In direct sunlight moissanite throws more rainbow coloured fire than a diamond does, which is the only tell most people would ever notice. Telling the two apart with certainty needs a conductivity tester, or a loupe and the training to read facet doubling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes moissanite get cloudy or lose its sparkle over time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it is one of the hardest gem materials there is, and it does not abrade, cloud or dull with wear the way cubic zirconia does. What makes any ring look dull is a film of skin oil, soap and hand cream, and a gentle clean restores it completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat ring sizes can I order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe make sizes 1.5 to 13, including every half size. Choose your size at checkout. If you are unsure, measure a ring that already fits the correct finger, or ask a local jeweller to size you, and remember that fingers run slightly larger in hot weather and late in the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long will it take to arrive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery ring is made to order in our workshop in Surat. Allow ten to fourteen working days for making, plus three to seven working days for insured worldwide shipping. If you have a proposal date, tell us when you order and we will confirm whether we can meet it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the metal solid, or is it plated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is solid throughout. 925 sterling silver is 92.5 per cent pure silver, and the gold options are solid 10K, 14K or 18K alloy stamped with the karat mark. Nothing in this range is gold plated, gold filled or gold bonded. White gold carries a rhodium finish on the surface, which is standard for all white gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the wedding band included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The price is for the engagement ring alone. Wedding bands are sold separately, and we are happy to advise which of ours sits best beside this design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo you offer engraving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, and there is no charge for it. Tell us the wording when you order and we will engrave the inside of the band. Most people choose a date, a set of initials or a short phrase. Allow up to about twenty five characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is your returns policy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReturns are accepted within thirty days of delivery on an unworn ring in its original packaging. Because every piece is made to order, engraved rings and rings made to a non standard specification are handled case by case. Write to us and we will sort it out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2

The centre stone is moissanite, not diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHalf moons make the oval look even bigger\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA half moon is exactly what it sounds like: a stone with one straight edge and one curved edge. Set with the curve against the oval, the two side stones follow the outline of the centre stone so closely that the three read as a single, larger shape. The straight outer edges then square off the head and give the ring its strong, architectural look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the half moons add width rather than length, this design has real presence from the front. It is the three stone to choose if you want the ring to feel bold and substantial.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band is plain and slightly sturdier than our finest shanks, which balances the visual weight of a wide head and keeps the ring sitting straight on the finger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the oval cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe oval cut is an elongated brilliant cut with about 56 to 58 facets. It carries roughly 10 per cent more face up surface than a round of the same weight, so it reads larger on the finger and lengthens the look of the hand. It is one of the most requested engagement shapes, and it is cut here to the same proportions we would use for a diamond of the same outline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIs this style right for you?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePear side stones add length along the finger. Half moons add width and a crisp, squared outline instead, so this design looks bolder and more graphic for the same centre stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat moissanite actually is\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite is silicon carbide, a crystal first identified by the French chemist Henri Moissan in 1893 in fragments of the Canyon Diablo meteorite in Arizona. He won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1906, and the mineral was named after him. Natural moissanite is vanishingly rare, so every moissanite sold as a gemstone today is grown in a laboratory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is what that means for a ring you will wear every day:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness 9.25 on the Mohs scale.\u003c\/strong\u003e Only diamond and a handful of laboratory materials are harder. It will not scratch from ordinary wear, and it is well suited to a ring worn daily for decades.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRefractive index of 2.65 to 2.69\u003c\/strong\u003e, higher than diamond at 2.42. More light is bent back to the eye, which is why a moissanite reads noticeably brighter than a diamond of the same size under the same light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDispersion of 0.104\u003c\/strong\u003e, against 0.044 for diamond. Dispersion is the splitting of white light into spectral colours. This is the origin of the rainbow fire moissanite is known for, most visible in direct sun or under spotlights.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoubly refractive.\u003c\/strong\u003e Under strong magnification a gemmologist can see facet edges doubled. To the naked eye it looks like extra brilliance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite is not cubic zirconia and it is not glass. Cubic zirconia is far softer at 8 to 8.5 on the Mohs scale, it clouds and abrades within a few years of daily wear, and it has little resale value. Moissanite keeps its polish and its brightness indefinitely. It is also not a diamond, laboratory grown or mined, and we never describe it as one. It is its own gemstone with its own optical signature, chosen by people who want maximum presence on the hand for a fraction of the cost of a diamond of the same size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery moissanite we set is graded colourless, the top colour band for moissanite, and VVS clarity, which means any inclusions are extremely difficult to find even under ten times magnification. Nothing is visible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your metal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is made to order in ten metals, so the version you choose is the version we build. There is no plating over a base metal and no filled or bonded gold anywhere in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e925 sterling silver\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most affordable way to own the design. It is 92.5 per cent pure silver, bright white, and it takes a high polish. Silver is softer than gold and will pick up fine surface marks with daily wear. It can also tarnish, and a soft polishing cloth brings it straight back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 41.7 per cent pure gold. It is the hardest and most scratch resistant of the three gold alloys, a sensible choice for hands that work. The colour is a little paler than 14K.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e14K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 58.5 per cent pure gold and it is what most engagement rings sold in the United States are made from. It balances a warm, convincing colour against real everyday durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 75 per cent pure gold. It has the deepest, richest colour and the most weight in the hand. It is also the softest of the three, so it marks a little more readily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eYellow gold is gold alloyed with silver and copper. Rose gold takes more copper, which gives the warm pink tone. White gold is alloyed with palladium or nickel and finished with rhodium plating, which gives it a bright white face. Rhodium wears thin over time and wants redoing roughly every one to two years, which any jeweller can do quickly. Every gold ring is stamped with its karat mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your carat size\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is offered in 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat centre stones. Carat is a unit of weight, not of width, and the photographs may show a different size from the one you choose. The version you select is the one we make.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most chosen size. It is unmistakably a statement stone and still sits comfortably under a glove or a coat sleeve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a clear step up in presence and photographs beautifully. This is where most people land when they want the ring to be the first thing anyone notices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e covers the finger generously and suits longer fingers and larger ring sizes particularly well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a red carpet stone, the closest to the celebrity look. It is the size people ask about across a room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are between sizes, order the smaller centre stone in a richer metal rather than the larger stone in the cheapest one. A well made ring in 14K or 18K gold ages far better than an oversized stone on a thin shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMade to order in our own workshop\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a family run jewellery workshop in Surat, in Gujarat, India. Surat is where roughly nine out of every ten diamonds in the world are cut and polished, and the bench skills that grew up around that trade are what this ring is built on. We do not hold finished stock. When your order comes in, a goldsmith casts your metal in your size, a setter places every stone by hand under a microscope, and the piece is polished, checked and photographed before it leaves us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking takes ten to fourteen working days for most orders. Shipping is free worldwide and fully insured, and it is normally three to seven working days once the ring has left the bench. Buying direct from the bench is the reason a ring like this costs what it does here rather than several times more on a high street.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCaring for your ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite attracts skin oil and hand cream the same way diamond does, and a film of it is the single most common reason a ring looks dull. Soak the ring for ten minutes in warm water with a drop of washing up liquid, brush gently behind and underneath the stone with a soft toothbrush, rinse and pat dry with a lint free cloth. Once a fortnight is plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTake the ring off before the gym, gardening, swimming pools and hot tubs, and before using bleach or oven cleaner. Chlorine attacks the alloys in gold over time and does nothing good to sterling silver. Store it on its own rather than loose in a box with other pieces. Have the claws or setting checked by a jeweller once a year. White gold will want its rhodium refreshed every one to two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions people ask about this ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same ring Serena Williams wears?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This is our own ring, made in our workshop and inspired by a style Serena Williams has been publicly photographed wearing. It is set with moissanite rather than diamond, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Serena Williams.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the carat option refer to?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe carat option is the weight of the oval centre stone. The two half moon side stones are set in addition to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a wide three stone ring comfortable to wear every day?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The head sits across the finger rather than high above it, and the plain band is comfortable all the way round. As with any statement ring, take it off for the gym and heavy work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan this ring be resized?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The band is plain metal, so resizing is straightforward for any jeweller.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat colour and clarity is the moissanite?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery moissanite centre stone is graded colourless with VVS clarity. Colourless is the top colour band for moissanite, and VVS means inclusions are extremely difficult to see even under ten times magnification. The grades are the same on every metal and every carat weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill people be able to tell it is not a diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot by looking. Both stones are colourless and brilliantly cut, and at arm length they read the same. In direct sunlight moissanite throws more rainbow coloured fire than a diamond does, which is the only tell most people would ever notice. Telling the two apart with certainty needs a conductivity tester, or a loupe and the training to read facet doubling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes moissanite get cloudy or lose its sparkle over time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it is one of the hardest gem materials there is, and it does not abrade, cloud or dull with wear the way cubic zirconia does. What makes any ring look dull is a film of skin oil, soap and hand cream, and a gentle clean restores it completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat ring sizes can I order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe make sizes 1.5 to 13, including every half size. Choose your size at checkout. If you are unsure, measure a ring that already fits the correct finger, or ask a local jeweller to size you, and remember that fingers run slightly larger in hot weather and late in the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long will it take to arrive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery ring is made to order in our workshop in Surat. Allow ten to fourteen working days for making, plus three to seven working days for insured worldwide shipping. If you have a proposal date, tell us when you order and we will confirm whether we can meet it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the metal solid, or is it plated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is solid throughout. 925 sterling silver is 92.5 per cent pure silver, and the gold options are solid 10K, 14K or 18K alloy stamped with the karat mark. Nothing in this range is gold plated, gold filled or gold bonded. White gold carries a rhodium finish on the surface, which is standard for all white gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the wedding band included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The price is for the engagement ring alone. Wedding bands are sold separately, and we are happy to advise which of ours sits best beside this design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo you offer engraving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, and there is no charge for it. Tell us the wording when you order and we will engrave the inside of the band. Most people choose a date, a set of initials or a short phrase. Allow up to about twenty five characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is your returns policy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReturns are accepted within thirty days of delivery on an unworn ring in its original packaging. Because every piece is made to order, engraved rings and rings made to a non standard specification are handled case by case. Write to us and we will sort it out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2

It is modern and architectural, with no claws at all, and it has the kind of quiet confidence that looks as right with jeans as it does with a gown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInspired by:\u003c\/strong\u003e The style Phoebe Dynevor has been photographed wearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentre stone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oval Brilliant moissanite, colourless, VVS clarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarat options:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat, centre stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSetting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth full bezel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSide stones:\u003c\/strong\u003e None, a single centre stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wide sculpted band of three rounded ridges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetals:\u003c\/strong\u003e 925 sterling silver, 10K, 14K and 18K gold in yellow, rose and white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRing sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 to 13, including half sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade:\u003c\/strong\u003e To order by hand in Surat, India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Phoebe Dynevor inspired look\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bezel set oval on a ridged band that Phoebe Dynevor has been photographed wearing turned the bezel setting into one of the most searched engagement styles. We make that look here in colourless moissanite, in the metal and carat weight you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is designed and made by Mapple Gems and is inspired by a style Phoebe Dynevor has been publicly photographed wearing. It is not the same ring, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Phoebe Dynevor. The centre stone is moissanite, not diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA bezel and a band built as one piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA full bezel is a continuous rim of metal wrapped around the whole edge of the stone. It is the most protective setting there is: nothing can catch on it, nothing can snag a jumper, and the girdle of the stone is shielded from knocks on every side. That makes it a very practical choice for anyone who works with their hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band is formed as three rounded ridges running side by side. Where most bands are a single smooth surface, the ridges catch light in three separate lines and give the ring a sculpted, almost stacked look while remaining one solid piece of metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the band is wider than a typical engagement shank, the ring has a satisfying weight on the hand and sits very steadily, with the oval held low and close to the finger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the oval cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe oval cut is an elongated brilliant cut with about 56 to 58 facets. It carries roughly 10 per cent more face up surface than a round of the same weight, so it reads larger on the finger and lengthens the look of the hand. It is one of the most requested engagement shapes, and it is cut here to the same proportions we would use for a diamond of the same outline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIs this style right for you?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompared with a claw set oval on a slim band, this design is bolder, more modern and completely snag free, and its band is a design feature in its own right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat moissanite actually is\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite is silicon carbide, a crystal first identified by the French chemist Henri Moissan in 1893 in fragments of the Canyon Diablo meteorite in Arizona. He won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1906, and the mineral was named after him. Natural moissanite is vanishingly rare, so every moissanite sold as a gemstone today is grown in a laboratory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is what that means for a ring you will wear every day:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness 9.25 on the Mohs scale.\u003c\/strong\u003e Only diamond and a handful of laboratory materials are harder. It will not scratch from ordinary wear, and it is well suited to a ring worn daily for decades.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRefractive index of 2.65 to 2.69\u003c\/strong\u003e, higher than diamond at 2.42. More light is bent back to the eye, which is why a moissanite reads noticeably brighter than a diamond of the same size under the same light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDispersion of 0.104\u003c\/strong\u003e, against 0.044 for diamond. Dispersion is the splitting of white light into spectral colours. This is the origin of the rainbow fire moissanite is known for, most visible in direct sun or under spotlights.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoubly refractive.\u003c\/strong\u003e Under strong magnification a gemmologist can see facet edges doubled. To the naked eye it looks like extra brilliance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite is not cubic zirconia and it is not glass. Cubic zirconia is far softer at 8 to 8.5 on the Mohs scale, it clouds and abrades within a few years of daily wear, and it has little resale value. Moissanite keeps its polish and its brightness indefinitely. It is also not a diamond, laboratory grown or mined, and we never describe it as one. It is its own gemstone with its own optical signature, chosen by people who want maximum presence on the hand for a fraction of the cost of a diamond of the same size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery moissanite we set is graded colourless, the top colour band for moissanite, and VVS clarity, which means any inclusions are extremely difficult to find even under ten times magnification. Nothing is visible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your metal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is made to order in ten metals, so the version you choose is the version we build. There is no plating over a base metal and no filled or bonded gold anywhere in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e925 sterling silver\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most affordable way to own the design. It is 92.5 per cent pure silver, bright white, and it takes a high polish. Silver is softer than gold and will pick up fine surface marks with daily wear. It can also tarnish, and a soft polishing cloth brings it straight back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 41.7 per cent pure gold. It is the hardest and most scratch resistant of the three gold alloys, a sensible choice for hands that work. The colour is a little paler than 14K.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e14K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 58.5 per cent pure gold and it is what most engagement rings sold in the United States are made from. It balances a warm, convincing colour against real everyday durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 75 per cent pure gold. It has the deepest, richest colour and the most weight in the hand. It is also the softest of the three, so it marks a little more readily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eYellow gold is gold alloyed with silver and copper. Rose gold takes more copper, which gives the warm pink tone. White gold is alloyed with palladium or nickel and finished with rhodium plating, which gives it a bright white face. Rhodium wears thin over time and wants redoing roughly every one to two years, which any jeweller can do quickly. Every gold ring is stamped with its karat mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your carat size\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is offered in 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat centre stones. Carat is a unit of weight, not of width, and the photographs may show a different size from the one you choose. The version you select is the one we make.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most chosen size. It is unmistakably a statement stone and still sits comfortably under a glove or a coat sleeve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a clear step up in presence and photographs beautifully. This is where most people land when they want the ring to be the first thing anyone notices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e covers the finger generously and suits longer fingers and larger ring sizes particularly well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a red carpet stone, the closest to the celebrity look. It is the size people ask about across a room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are between sizes, order the smaller centre stone in a richer metal rather than the larger stone in the cheapest one. A well made ring in 14K or 18K gold ages far better than an oversized stone on a thin shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMade to order in our own workshop\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a family run jewellery workshop in Surat, in Gujarat, India. Surat is where roughly nine out of every ten diamonds in the world are cut and polished, and the bench skills that grew up around that trade are what this ring is built on. We do not hold finished stock. When your order comes in, a goldsmith casts your metal in your size, a setter places every stone by hand under a microscope, and the piece is polished, checked and photographed before it leaves us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking takes ten to fourteen working days for most orders. Shipping is free worldwide and fully insured, and it is normally three to seven working days once the ring has left the bench. Buying direct from the bench is the reason a ring like this costs what it does here rather than several times more on a high street.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCaring for your ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite attracts skin oil and hand cream the same way diamond does, and a film of it is the single most common reason a ring looks dull. Soak the ring for ten minutes in warm water with a drop of washing up liquid, brush gently behind and underneath the stone with a soft toothbrush, rinse and pat dry with a lint free cloth. Once a fortnight is plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTake the ring off before the gym, gardening, swimming pools and hot tubs, and before using bleach or oven cleaner. Chlorine attacks the alloys in gold over time and does nothing good to sterling silver. Store it on its own rather than loose in a box with other pieces. Have the claws or setting checked by a jeweller once a year. White gold will want its rhodium refreshed every one to two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions people ask about this ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same ring Phoebe Dynevor wears?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This is our own ring, made in our workshop and inspired by a style Phoebe Dynevor has been publicly photographed wearing. It is set with moissanite rather than diamond, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Phoebe Dynevor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a bezel setting good for everyday wear?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is the most practical setting there is. The metal rim protects the whole edge of the stone and there are no claws to catch on clothing or hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes a bezel let enough light into the stone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite is so bright that a bezel costs it very little. The open face and the underside of the setting still let plenty of light in, and the polished rim frames the stone so it looks crisp and defined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan the ridged band be resized?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, although because the band is sculpted it is best resized by an experienced jeweller or by us, so the ridges line up perfectly afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat colour and clarity is the moissanite?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery moissanite centre stone is graded colourless with VVS clarity. Colourless is the top colour band for moissanite, and VVS means inclusions are extremely difficult to see even under ten times magnification. The grades are the same on every metal and every carat weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill people be able to tell it is not a diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot by looking. Both stones are colourless and brilliantly cut, and at arm length they read the same. In direct sunlight moissanite throws more rainbow coloured fire than a diamond does, which is the only tell most people would ever notice. Telling the two apart with certainty needs a conductivity tester, or a loupe and the training to read facet doubling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes moissanite get cloudy or lose its sparkle over time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it is one of the hardest gem materials there is, and it does not abrade, cloud or dull with wear the way cubic zirconia does. What makes any ring look dull is a film of skin oil, soap and hand cream, and a gentle clean restores it completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat ring sizes can I order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe make sizes 1.5 to 13, including every half size. Choose your size at checkout. If you are unsure, measure a ring that already fits the correct finger, or ask a local jeweller to size you, and remember that fingers run slightly larger in hot weather and late in the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long will it take to arrive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery ring is made to order in our workshop in Surat. Allow ten to fourteen working days for making, plus three to seven working days for insured worldwide shipping. If you have a proposal date, tell us when you order and we will confirm whether we can meet it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the metal solid, or is it plated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is solid throughout. 925 sterling silver is 92.5 per cent pure silver, and the gold options are solid 10K, 14K or 18K alloy stamped with the karat mark. Nothing in this range is gold plated, gold filled or gold bonded. White gold carries a rhodium finish on the surface, which is standard for all white gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the wedding band included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The price is for the engagement ring alone. Wedding bands are sold separately, and we are happy to advise which of ours sits best beside this design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo you offer engraving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, and there is no charge for it. Tell us the wording when you order and we will engrave the inside of the band. Most people choose a date, a set of initials or a short phrase. Allow up to about twenty five characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is your returns policy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReturns are accepted within thirty days of delivery on an unworn ring in its original packaging. Because every piece is made to order, engraved rings and rings made to a non standard specification are handled case by case. Write to us and we will sort it out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2

We make the look here in colourless moissanite, in the metal and carat weight you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is designed and made by Mapple Gems and is inspired by a style Margot Robbie has been publicly photographed wearing. It is not the same ring, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Margot Robbie. The centre stone is moissanite, not diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA classic pear with a sparkling band\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe point is the most delicate part of any pear shaped stone, so it sits in a V shaped claw that wraps the tip completely. The rounded end is held by claws of its own, which keeps the setting open and lets as much light as possible into the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band is pavé set: small round stones set close together in the metal, so the shank reads as one continuous line of light that leads the eye to the centre stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorn point toward the fingertip, a pear lengthens and slims the finger. Some people prefer to wear it point toward the wrist, which is equally correct and simply a matter of taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the pear cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pear cut, also called the teardrop, is a brilliant cut with one rounded end and one point, usually with around 58 facets. Like an oval it looks larger than a round of the same weight and lengthens the finger, and the point gives it direction and character. The point is the most exposed part of the stone, which is why it is always protected by a claw.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIs this style right for you?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompared with a plain band solitaire, the pavé band adds a continuous line of sparkle without taking anything away from the pear. It is the classic, open, claw set way to wear a pear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat moissanite actually is\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite is silicon carbide, a crystal first identified by the French chemist Henri Moissan in 1893 in fragments of the Canyon Diablo meteorite in Arizona. He won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1906, and the mineral was named after him. Natural moissanite is vanishingly rare, so every moissanite sold as a gemstone today is grown in a laboratory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is what that means for a ring you will wear every day:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness 9.25 on the Mohs scale.\u003c\/strong\u003e Only diamond and a handful of laboratory materials are harder. It will not scratch from ordinary wear, and it is well suited to a ring worn daily for decades.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRefractive index of 2.65 to 2.69\u003c\/strong\u003e, higher than diamond at 2.42. More light is bent back to the eye, which is why a moissanite reads noticeably brighter than a diamond of the same size under the same light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDispersion of 0.104\u003c\/strong\u003e, against 0.044 for diamond. Dispersion is the splitting of white light into spectral colours. This is the origin of the rainbow fire moissanite is known for, most visible in direct sun or under spotlights.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoubly refractive.\u003c\/strong\u003e Under strong magnification a gemmologist can see facet edges doubled. To the naked eye it looks like extra brilliance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite is not cubic zirconia and it is not glass. Cubic zirconia is far softer at 8 to 8.5 on the Mohs scale, it clouds and abrades within a few years of daily wear, and it has little resale value. Moissanite keeps its polish and its brightness indefinitely. It is also not a diamond, laboratory grown or mined, and we never describe it as one. It is its own gemstone with its own optical signature, chosen by people who want maximum presence on the hand for a fraction of the cost of a diamond of the same size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery moissanite we set is graded colourless, the top colour band for moissanite, and VVS clarity, which means any inclusions are extremely difficult to find even under ten times magnification. Nothing is visible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your metal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is made to order in ten metals, so the version you choose is the version we build. There is no plating over a base metal and no filled or bonded gold anywhere in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e925 sterling silver\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most affordable way to own the design. It is 92.5 per cent pure silver, bright white, and it takes a high polish. Silver is softer than gold and will pick up fine surface marks with daily wear. It can also tarnish, and a soft polishing cloth brings it straight back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 41.7 per cent pure gold. It is the hardest and most scratch resistant of the three gold alloys, a sensible choice for hands that work. The colour is a little paler than 14K.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e14K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 58.5 per cent pure gold and it is what most engagement rings sold in the United States are made from. It balances a warm, convincing colour against real everyday durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 75 per cent pure gold. It has the deepest, richest colour and the most weight in the hand. It is also the softest of the three, so it marks a little more readily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eYellow gold is gold alloyed with silver and copper. Rose gold takes more copper, which gives the warm pink tone. White gold is alloyed with palladium or nickel and finished with rhodium plating, which gives it a bright white face. Rhodium wears thin over time and wants redoing roughly every one to two years, which any jeweller can do quickly. Every gold ring is stamped with its karat mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your carat size\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is offered in 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat centre stones. Carat is a unit of weight, not of width, and the photographs may show a different size from the one you choose. The version you select is the one we make.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most chosen size. It is unmistakably a statement stone and still sits comfortably under a glove or a coat sleeve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a clear step up in presence and photographs beautifully. This is where most people land when they want the ring to be the first thing anyone notices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e covers the finger generously and suits longer fingers and larger ring sizes particularly well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a red carpet stone, the closest to the celebrity look. It is the size people ask about across a room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are between sizes, order the smaller centre stone in a richer metal rather than the larger stone in the cheapest one. A well made ring in 14K or 18K gold ages far better than an oversized stone on a thin shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMade to order in our own workshop\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a family run jewellery workshop in Surat, in Gujarat, India. Surat is where roughly nine out of every ten diamonds in the world are cut and polished, and the bench skills that grew up around that trade are what this ring is built on. We do not hold finished stock. When your order comes in, a goldsmith casts your metal in your size, a setter places every stone by hand under a microscope, and the piece is polished, checked and photographed before it leaves us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking takes ten to fourteen working days for most orders. Shipping is free worldwide and fully insured, and it is normally three to seven working days once the ring has left the bench. Buying direct from the bench is the reason a ring like this costs what it does here rather than several times more on a high street.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCaring for your ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite attracts skin oil and hand cream the same way diamond does, and a film of it is the single most common reason a ring looks dull. Soak the ring for ten minutes in warm water with a drop of washing up liquid, brush gently behind and underneath the stone with a soft toothbrush, rinse and pat dry with a lint free cloth. Once a fortnight is plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTake the ring off before the gym, gardening, swimming pools and hot tubs, and before using bleach or oven cleaner. Chlorine attacks the alloys in gold over time and does nothing good to sterling silver. Store it on its own rather than loose in a box with other pieces. Have the claws or setting checked by a jeweller once a year. White gold will want its rhodium refreshed every one to two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions people ask about this ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same ring Margot Robbie wears?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This is our own ring, made in our workshop and inspired by a style Margot Robbie has been publicly photographed wearing. It is set with moissanite rather than diamond, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Margot Robbie.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich way should a pear engagement ring point?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTraditionally the point faces the fingertip, which lengthens the finger. Pointing it toward the wrist is equally correct and some people find it softer. It is entirely your choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy does the point need a V claw?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tip is the thinnest part of a pear shaped stone and the most exposed to knocks. A V claw wraps it completely and protects it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan a pavé band be resized?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsually by up to about two sizes. The stones sit on the upper part of the band, and resizing is done at the plain section at the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat colour and clarity is the moissanite?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery moissanite centre stone is graded colourless with VVS clarity. Colourless is the top colour band for moissanite, and VVS means inclusions are extremely difficult to see even under ten times magnification. The grades are the same on every metal and every carat weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill people be able to tell it is not a diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot by looking. Both stones are colourless and brilliantly cut, and at arm length they read the same. In direct sunlight moissanite throws more rainbow coloured fire than a diamond does, which is the only tell most people would ever notice. Telling the two apart with certainty needs a conductivity tester, or a loupe and the training to read facet doubling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes moissanite get cloudy or lose its sparkle over time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it is one of the hardest gem materials there is, and it does not abrade, cloud or dull with wear the way cubic zirconia does. What makes any ring look dull is a film of skin oil, soap and hand cream, and a gentle clean restores it completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat ring sizes can I order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe make sizes 1.5 to 13, including every half size. Choose your size at checkout. If you are unsure, measure a ring that already fits the correct finger, or ask a local jeweller to size you, and remember that fingers run slightly larger in hot weather and late in the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long will it take to arrive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery ring is made to order in our workshop in Surat. Allow ten to fourteen working days for making, plus three to seven working days for insured worldwide shipping. If you have a proposal date, tell us when you order and we will confirm whether we can meet it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the metal solid, or is it plated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is solid throughout. 925 sterling silver is 92.5 per cent pure silver, and the gold options are solid 10K, 14K or 18K alloy stamped with the karat mark. Nothing in this range is gold plated, gold filled or gold bonded. White gold carries a rhodium finish on the surface, which is standard for all white gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the wedding band included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The price is for the engagement ring alone. Wedding bands are sold separately, and we are happy to advise which of ours sits best beside this design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo you offer engraving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, and there is no charge for it. Tell us the wording when you order and we will engrave the inside of the band. Most people choose a date, a set of initials or a short phrase. Allow up to about twenty five characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is your returns policy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReturns are accepted within thirty days of delivery on an unworn ring in its original packaging. Because every piece is made to order, engraved rings and rings made to a non standard specification are handled case by case. Write to us and we will sort it out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2

This ring captures that look, a tall oval, a secret halo and a pavé band, in colourless moissanite in the metal and carat weight you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is designed and made by Mapple Gems and is inspired by a style Kourtney Kardashian has been publicly photographed wearing. It is not the same ring, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Kourtney Kardashian. The centre stone is moissanite, not diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe hidden halo, explained\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA hidden halo is a ring of small stones set around the base of the centre stone, below the girdle, where it is invisible from the top. From above the oval looks clean and uncluttered. From the side, the halo adds a band of light under the stone that you only notice when the hand moves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band is pavé set across the top and sides, with plain polished metal at the back. That keeps the ring comfortable against the neighbouring fingers and makes resizing simpler.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn elongated oval, one with a longer length to width ratio than a standard oval, covers more of the finger for its weight and gives the slim, lengthening look this style is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the oval cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe oval cut is an elongated brilliant cut with about 56 to 58 facets. It carries roughly 10 per cent more face up surface than a round of the same weight, so it reads larger on the finger and lengthens the look of the hand. It is one of the most requested engagement shapes, and it is cut here to the same proportions we would use for a diamond of the same outline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIs this style right for you?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompared with a plain oval solitaire, this design adds sparkle from the side and along the band while keeping the top view just as clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat moissanite actually is\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite is silicon carbide, a crystal first identified by the French chemist Henri Moissan in 1893 in fragments of the Canyon Diablo meteorite in Arizona. He won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1906, and the mineral was named after him. Natural moissanite is vanishingly rare, so every moissanite sold as a gemstone today is grown in a laboratory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is what that means for a ring you will wear every day:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness 9.25 on the Mohs scale.\u003c\/strong\u003e Only diamond and a handful of laboratory materials are harder. It will not scratch from ordinary wear, and it is well suited to a ring worn daily for decades.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRefractive index of 2.65 to 2.69\u003c\/strong\u003e, higher than diamond at 2.42. More light is bent back to the eye, which is why a moissanite reads noticeably brighter than a diamond of the same size under the same light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDispersion of 0.104\u003c\/strong\u003e, against 0.044 for diamond. Dispersion is the splitting of white light into spectral colours. This is the origin of the rainbow fire moissanite is known for, most visible in direct sun or under spotlights.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoubly refractive.\u003c\/strong\u003e Under strong magnification a gemmologist can see facet edges doubled. To the naked eye it looks like extra brilliance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite is not cubic zirconia and it is not glass. Cubic zirconia is far softer at 8 to 8.5 on the Mohs scale, it clouds and abrades within a few years of daily wear, and it has little resale value. Moissanite keeps its polish and its brightness indefinitely. It is also not a diamond, laboratory grown or mined, and we never describe it as one. It is its own gemstone with its own optical signature, chosen by people who want maximum presence on the hand for a fraction of the cost of a diamond of the same size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery moissanite we set is graded colourless, the top colour band for moissanite, and VVS clarity, which means any inclusions are extremely difficult to find even under ten times magnification. Nothing is visible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your metal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is made to order in ten metals, so the version you choose is the version we build. There is no plating over a base metal and no filled or bonded gold anywhere in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e925 sterling silver\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most affordable way to own the design. It is 92.5 per cent pure silver, bright white, and it takes a high polish. Silver is softer than gold and will pick up fine surface marks with daily wear. It can also tarnish, and a soft polishing cloth brings it straight back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 41.7 per cent pure gold. It is the hardest and most scratch resistant of the three gold alloys, a sensible choice for hands that work. The colour is a little paler than 14K.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e14K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 58.5 per cent pure gold and it is what most engagement rings sold in the United States are made from. It balances a warm, convincing colour against real everyday durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 75 per cent pure gold. It has the deepest, richest colour and the most weight in the hand. It is also the softest of the three, so it marks a little more readily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eYellow gold is gold alloyed with silver and copper. Rose gold takes more copper, which gives the warm pink tone. White gold is alloyed with palladium or nickel and finished with rhodium plating, which gives it a bright white face. Rhodium wears thin over time and wants redoing roughly every one to two years, which any jeweller can do quickly. Every gold ring is stamped with its karat mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your carat size\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is offered in 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat centre stones. Carat is a unit of weight, not of width, and the photographs may show a different size from the one you choose. The version you select is the one we make.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most chosen size. It is unmistakably a statement stone and still sits comfortably under a glove or a coat sleeve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a clear step up in presence and photographs beautifully. This is where most people land when they want the ring to be the first thing anyone notices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e covers the finger generously and suits longer fingers and larger ring sizes particularly well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a red carpet stone, the closest to the celebrity look. It is the size people ask about across a room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are between sizes, order the smaller centre stone in a richer metal rather than the larger stone in the cheapest one. A well made ring in 14K or 18K gold ages far better than an oversized stone on a thin shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMade to order in our own workshop\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a family run jewellery workshop in Surat, in Gujarat, India. Surat is where roughly nine out of every ten diamonds in the world are cut and polished, and the bench skills that grew up around that trade are what this ring is built on. We do not hold finished stock. When your order comes in, a goldsmith casts your metal in your size, a setter places every stone by hand under a microscope, and the piece is polished, checked and photographed before it leaves us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking takes ten to fourteen working days for most orders. Shipping is free worldwide and fully insured, and it is normally three to seven working days once the ring has left the bench. Buying direct from the bench is the reason a ring like this costs what it does here rather than several times more on a high street.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCaring for your ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite attracts skin oil and hand cream the same way diamond does, and a film of it is the single most common reason a ring looks dull. Soak the ring for ten minutes in warm water with a drop of washing up liquid, brush gently behind and underneath the stone with a soft toothbrush, rinse and pat dry with a lint free cloth. Once a fortnight is plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTake the ring off before the gym, gardening, swimming pools and hot tubs, and before using bleach or oven cleaner. Chlorine attacks the alloys in gold over time and does nothing good to sterling silver. Store it on its own rather than loose in a box with other pieces. Have the claws or setting checked by a jeweller once a year. White gold will want its rhodium refreshed every one to two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions people ask about this ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same ring Kourtney Kardashian wears?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This is our own ring, made in our workshop and inspired by a style Kourtney Kardashian has been publicly photographed wearing. It is set with moissanite rather than diamond, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Kourtney Kardashian.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a hidden halo?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA row of small stones set around the base of the centre stone, under its widest edge. It cannot be seen from above, but it adds sparkle from the side and makes the head of the ring look more finished.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the pavé go all the way round the band?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The pavé covers the top and sides of the band and the back is plain polished metal, which is more comfortable and makes resizing easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan this ring be resized?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, usually by up to about two sizes, at the plain section of the band.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat colour and clarity is the moissanite?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery moissanite centre stone is graded colourless with VVS clarity. Colourless is the top colour band for moissanite, and VVS means inclusions are extremely difficult to see even under ten times magnification. The grades are the same on every metal and every carat weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill people be able to tell it is not a diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot by looking. Both stones are colourless and brilliantly cut, and at arm length they read the same. In direct sunlight moissanite throws more rainbow coloured fire than a diamond does, which is the only tell most people would ever notice. Telling the two apart with certainty needs a conductivity tester, or a loupe and the training to read facet doubling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes moissanite get cloudy or lose its sparkle over time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it is one of the hardest gem materials there is, and it does not abrade, cloud or dull with wear the way cubic zirconia does. What makes any ring look dull is a film of skin oil, soap and hand cream, and a gentle clean restores it completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat ring sizes can I order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe make sizes 1.5 to 13, including every half size. Choose your size at checkout. If you are unsure, measure a ring that already fits the correct finger, or ask a local jeweller to size you, and remember that fingers run slightly larger in hot weather and late in the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long will it take to arrive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery ring is made to order in our workshop in Surat. Allow ten to fourteen working days for making, plus three to seven working days for insured worldwide shipping. If you have a proposal date, tell us when you order and we will confirm whether we can meet it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the metal solid, or is it plated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is solid throughout. 925 sterling silver is 92.5 per cent pure silver, and the gold options are solid 10K, 14K or 18K alloy stamped with the karat mark. Nothing in this range is gold plated, gold filled or gold bonded. White gold carries a rhodium finish on the surface, which is standard for all white gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the wedding band included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The price is for the engagement ring alone. Wedding bands are sold separately, and we are happy to advise which of ours sits best beside this design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo you offer engraving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, and there is no charge for it. Tell us the wording when you order and we will engrave the inside of the band. Most people choose a date, a set of initials or a short phrase. Allow up to about twenty five characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is your returns policy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReturns are accepted within thirty days of delivery on an unworn ring in its original packaging. Because every piece is made to order, engraved rings and rings made to a non standard specification are handled case by case. Write to us and we will sort it out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2

This ring recreates that graduated outline in colourless moissanite, in the metal and carat weight you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is designed and made by Mapple Gems and is inspired by a style Ciara has been publicly photographed wearing. It is not the same ring, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Ciara. The centre stone is moissanite, not diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFive stones, one outline\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe half moons sit with their curved edges against the cushion and their straight edges facing out. The trillions, small triangular stones, then carry the line on and bring it to a point at each end. Together the five stones make one continuous shape that tapers from a broad centre to fine tips.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cushion is a softly squared brilliant with rounded corners. Its larger facets give broad flashes of light, and its squared outline pairs naturally with the straight edges of the half moons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith this much stone across the finger the band is kept plain, so the head has room to be the whole story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the cushion cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cushion cut is a softly squared brilliant with rounded corners and larger facets than a round. It grew out of the old mine cut of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and it gives broad flashes of light with a gentle, romantic outline that sits beautifully in both modern and vintage settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIs this style right for you?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA three stone ring stops at two side stones. Five graduated stones give a wider, more dramatic head, so choose this design if you want the ring to be the first thing anyone notices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat moissanite actually is\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite is silicon carbide, a crystal first identified by the French chemist Henri Moissan in 1893 in fragments of the Canyon Diablo meteorite in Arizona. He won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1906, and the mineral was named after him. Natural moissanite is vanishingly rare, so every moissanite sold as a gemstone today is grown in a laboratory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is what that means for a ring you will wear every day:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness 9.25 on the Mohs scale.\u003c\/strong\u003e Only diamond and a handful of laboratory materials are harder. It will not scratch from ordinary wear, and it is well suited to a ring worn daily for decades.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRefractive index of 2.65 to 2.69\u003c\/strong\u003e, higher than diamond at 2.42. More light is bent back to the eye, which is why a moissanite reads noticeably brighter than a diamond of the same size under the same light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDispersion of 0.104\u003c\/strong\u003e, against 0.044 for diamond. Dispersion is the splitting of white light into spectral colours. This is the origin of the rainbow fire moissanite is known for, most visible in direct sun or under spotlights.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoubly refractive.\u003c\/strong\u003e Under strong magnification a gemmologist can see facet edges doubled. To the naked eye it looks like extra brilliance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite is not cubic zirconia and it is not glass. Cubic zirconia is far softer at 8 to 8.5 on the Mohs scale, it clouds and abrades within a few years of daily wear, and it has little resale value. Moissanite keeps its polish and its brightness indefinitely. It is also not a diamond, laboratory grown or mined, and we never describe it as one. It is its own gemstone with its own optical signature, chosen by people who want maximum presence on the hand for a fraction of the cost of a diamond of the same size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery moissanite we set is graded colourless, the top colour band for moissanite, and VVS clarity, which means any inclusions are extremely difficult to find even under ten times magnification. Nothing is visible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your metal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is made to order in ten metals, so the version you choose is the version we build. There is no plating over a base metal and no filled or bonded gold anywhere in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e925 sterling silver\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most affordable way to own the design. It is 92.5 per cent pure silver, bright white, and it takes a high polish. Silver is softer than gold and will pick up fine surface marks with daily wear. It can also tarnish, and a soft polishing cloth brings it straight back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 41.7 per cent pure gold. It is the hardest and most scratch resistant of the three gold alloys, a sensible choice for hands that work. The colour is a little paler than 14K.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e14K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 58.5 per cent pure gold and it is what most engagement rings sold in the United States are made from. It balances a warm, convincing colour against real everyday durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 75 per cent pure gold. It has the deepest, richest colour and the most weight in the hand. It is also the softest of the three, so it marks a little more readily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eYellow gold is gold alloyed with silver and copper. Rose gold takes more copper, which gives the warm pink tone. White gold is alloyed with palladium or nickel and finished with rhodium plating, which gives it a bright white face. Rhodium wears thin over time and wants redoing roughly every one to two years, which any jeweller can do quickly. Every gold ring is stamped with its karat mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your carat size\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is offered in 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat centre stones. Carat is a unit of weight, not of width, and the photographs may show a different size from the one you choose. The version you select is the one we make.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most chosen size. It is unmistakably a statement stone and still sits comfortably under a glove or a coat sleeve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a clear step up in presence and photographs beautifully. This is where most people land when they want the ring to be the first thing anyone notices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e covers the finger generously and suits longer fingers and larger ring sizes particularly well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a red carpet stone, the closest to the celebrity look. It is the size people ask about across a room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are between sizes, order the smaller centre stone in a richer metal rather than the larger stone in the cheapest one. A well made ring in 14K or 18K gold ages far better than an oversized stone on a thin shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMade to order in our own workshop\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a family run jewellery workshop in Surat, in Gujarat, India. Surat is where roughly nine out of every ten diamonds in the world are cut and polished, and the bench skills that grew up around that trade are what this ring is built on. We do not hold finished stock. When your order comes in, a goldsmith casts your metal in your size, a setter places every stone by hand under a microscope, and the piece is polished, checked and photographed before it leaves us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking takes ten to fourteen working days for most orders. Shipping is free worldwide and fully insured, and it is normally three to seven working days once the ring has left the bench. Buying direct from the bench is the reason a ring like this costs what it does here rather than several times more on a high street.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCaring for your ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite attracts skin oil and hand cream the same way diamond does, and a film of it is the single most common reason a ring looks dull. Soak the ring for ten minutes in warm water with a drop of washing up liquid, brush gently behind and underneath the stone with a soft toothbrush, rinse and pat dry with a lint free cloth. Once a fortnight is plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTake the ring off before the gym, gardening, swimming pools and hot tubs, and before using bleach or oven cleaner. Chlorine attacks the alloys in gold over time and does nothing good to sterling silver. Store it on its own rather than loose in a box with other pieces. Have the claws or setting checked by a jeweller once a year. White gold will want its rhodium refreshed every one to two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions people ask about this ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same ring Ciara wears?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This is our own ring, made in our workshop and inspired by a style Ciara has been publicly photographed wearing. It is set with moissanite rather than diamond, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Ciara.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the carat option refer to?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe carat option is the weight of the cushion centre stone. The two half moons and two trillions are set in addition to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a trillion?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA trillion is a triangular cut stone. At the ends of a five stone design it finishes the line with a clean point and adds extra sparkle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan this ring be resized?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The band is plain metal, so resizing is straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat colour and clarity is the moissanite?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery moissanite centre stone is graded colourless with VVS clarity. Colourless is the top colour band for moissanite, and VVS means inclusions are extremely difficult to see even under ten times magnification. The grades are the same on every metal and every carat weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill people be able to tell it is not a diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot by looking. Both stones are colourless and brilliantly cut, and at arm length they read the same. In direct sunlight moissanite throws more rainbow coloured fire than a diamond does, which is the only tell most people would ever notice. Telling the two apart with certainty needs a conductivity tester, or a loupe and the training to read facet doubling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes moissanite get cloudy or lose its sparkle over time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it is one of the hardest gem materials there is, and it does not abrade, cloud or dull with wear the way cubic zirconia does. What makes any ring look dull is a film of skin oil, soap and hand cream, and a gentle clean restores it completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat ring sizes can I order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe make sizes 1.5 to 13, including every half size. Choose your size at checkout. If you are unsure, measure a ring that already fits the correct finger, or ask a local jeweller to size you, and remember that fingers run slightly larger in hot weather and late in the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long will it take to arrive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery ring is made to order in our workshop in Surat. Allow ten to fourteen working days for making, plus three to seven working days for insured worldwide shipping. If you have a proposal date, tell us when you order and we will confirm whether we can meet it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the metal solid, or is it plated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is solid throughout. 925 sterling silver is 92.5 per cent pure silver, and the gold options are solid 10K, 14K or 18K alloy stamped with the karat mark. Nothing in this range is gold plated, gold filled or gold bonded. White gold carries a rhodium finish on the surface, which is standard for all white gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the wedding band included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The price is for the engagement ring alone. Wedding bands are sold separately, and we are happy to advise which of ours sits best beside this design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo you offer engraving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, and there is no charge for it. Tell us the wording when you order and we will engrave the inside of the band. Most people choose a date, a set of initials or a short phrase. Allow up to about twenty five characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is your returns policy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReturns are accepted within thirty days of delivery on an unworn ring in its original packaging. Because every piece is made to order, engraved rings and rings made to a non standard specification are handled case by case. Write to us and we will sort it out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2

This ring takes the look, a long emerald cut and a sparkling split band, and makes it in colourless moissanite in the metal and carat weight you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is designed and made by Mapple Gems and is inspired by a style Beyonce has been publicly photographed wearing. It is not the same ring, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Beyonce. The centre stone is moissanite, not diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy an emerald cut looks the way it does\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe emerald cut is a step cut. Its facets are long, parallel steps arranged around a large open table, with the corners cut off. Rather than the busy sparkle of a brilliant it gives long, slow flashes of light, often called the hall of mirrors effect, and a cool, elegant look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the table is so open, clarity matters more in an emerald cut than in any other shape. Every stone we set is VVS, which is why moissanite suits this cut so well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach corner is held by two claws rather than one. Double claws protect the cut corners, which are the most exposed part of the stone, and they frame the rectangle neatly. The split shank opens into two pavé rails, adding sparkle along the band without competing with the calm facets of the centre stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the emerald cut cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe emerald cut is a rectangular step cut with cut corners. Its long parallel facets create broad flashes of light and a calm, glassy look rather than busy sparkle. Because the table is so open, clarity matters, and our VVS moissanite shows the step facets cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIs this style right for you?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompared with a single claw emerald cut solitaire, this design adds double claws for security and a pavé split shank for sparkle and presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat moissanite actually is\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite is silicon carbide, a crystal first identified by the French chemist Henri Moissan in 1893 in fragments of the Canyon Diablo meteorite in Arizona. He won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1906, and the mineral was named after him. Natural moissanite is vanishingly rare, so every moissanite sold as a gemstone today is grown in a laboratory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is what that means for a ring you will wear every day:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness 9.25 on the Mohs scale.\u003c\/strong\u003e Only diamond and a handful of laboratory materials are harder. It will not scratch from ordinary wear, and it is well suited to a ring worn daily for decades.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRefractive index of 2.65 to 2.69\u003c\/strong\u003e, higher than diamond at 2.42. More light is bent back to the eye, which is why a moissanite reads noticeably brighter than a diamond of the same size under the same light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDispersion of 0.104\u003c\/strong\u003e, against 0.044 for diamond. Dispersion is the splitting of white light into spectral colours. This is the origin of the rainbow fire moissanite is known for, most visible in direct sun or under spotlights.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoubly refractive.\u003c\/strong\u003e Under strong magnification a gemmologist can see facet edges doubled. To the naked eye it looks like extra brilliance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite is not cubic zirconia and it is not glass. Cubic zirconia is far softer at 8 to 8.5 on the Mohs scale, it clouds and abrades within a few years of daily wear, and it has little resale value. Moissanite keeps its polish and its brightness indefinitely. It is also not a diamond, laboratory grown or mined, and we never describe it as one. It is its own gemstone with its own optical signature, chosen by people who want maximum presence on the hand for a fraction of the cost of a diamond of the same size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery moissanite we set is graded colourless, the top colour band for moissanite, and VVS clarity, which means any inclusions are extremely difficult to find even under ten times magnification. Nothing is visible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your metal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is made to order in ten metals, so the version you choose is the version we build. There is no plating over a base metal and no filled or bonded gold anywhere in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e925 sterling silver\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most affordable way to own the design. It is 92.5 per cent pure silver, bright white, and it takes a high polish. Silver is softer than gold and will pick up fine surface marks with daily wear. It can also tarnish, and a soft polishing cloth brings it straight back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 41.7 per cent pure gold. It is the hardest and most scratch resistant of the three gold alloys, a sensible choice for hands that work. The colour is a little paler than 14K.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e14K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 58.5 per cent pure gold and it is what most engagement rings sold in the United States are made from. It balances a warm, convincing colour against real everyday durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 75 per cent pure gold. It has the deepest, richest colour and the most weight in the hand. It is also the softest of the three, so it marks a little more readily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eYellow gold is gold alloyed with silver and copper. Rose gold takes more copper, which gives the warm pink tone. White gold is alloyed with palladium or nickel and finished with rhodium plating, which gives it a bright white face. Rhodium wears thin over time and wants redoing roughly every one to two years, which any jeweller can do quickly. Every gold ring is stamped with its karat mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your carat size\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is offered in 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat centre stones. Carat is a unit of weight, not of width, and the photographs may show a different size from the one you choose. The version you select is the one we make.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most chosen size. It is unmistakably a statement stone and still sits comfortably under a glove or a coat sleeve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a clear step up in presence and photographs beautifully. This is where most people land when they want the ring to be the first thing anyone notices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e covers the finger generously and suits longer fingers and larger ring sizes particularly well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a red carpet stone, the closest to the celebrity look. It is the size people ask about across a room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are between sizes, order the smaller centre stone in a richer metal rather than the larger stone in the cheapest one. A well made ring in 14K or 18K gold ages far better than an oversized stone on a thin shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMade to order in our own workshop\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a family run jewellery workshop in Surat, in Gujarat, India. Surat is where roughly nine out of every ten diamonds in the world are cut and polished, and the bench skills that grew up around that trade are what this ring is built on. We do not hold finished stock. When your order comes in, a goldsmith casts your metal in your size, a setter places every stone by hand under a microscope, and the piece is polished, checked and photographed before it leaves us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking takes ten to fourteen working days for most orders. Shipping is free worldwide and fully insured, and it is normally three to seven working days once the ring has left the bench. Buying direct from the bench is the reason a ring like this costs what it does here rather than several times more on a high street.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCaring for your ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite attracts skin oil and hand cream the same way diamond does, and a film of it is the single most common reason a ring looks dull. Soak the ring for ten minutes in warm water with a drop of washing up liquid, brush gently behind and underneath the stone with a soft toothbrush, rinse and pat dry with a lint free cloth. Once a fortnight is plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTake the ring off before the gym, gardening, swimming pools and hot tubs, and before using bleach or oven cleaner. Chlorine attacks the alloys in gold over time and does nothing good to sterling silver. Store it on its own rather than loose in a box with other pieces. Have the claws or setting checked by a jeweller once a year. White gold will want its rhodium refreshed every one to two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions people ask about this ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same ring Beyonce wears?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This is our own ring, made in our workshop and inspired by a style Beyonce has been publicly photographed wearing. It is set with moissanite rather than diamond, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Beyonce.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs an emerald cut less sparkly than other shapes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt sparkles differently. It gives long, bright flashes rather than lots of small ones, and many people prefer its calm, glassy look. Moissanite has more fire than diamond, so an emerald cut moissanite still shows plenty of colour in the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy double claws?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cut corners of an emerald cut are the parts most likely to chip if knocked. Two claws at each corner protect them and hold the stone very securely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan a split shank ring be resized?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The split section and the pavé are at the top of the band and resizing is done at the plain section at the back, usually by up to about two sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat colour and clarity is the moissanite?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery moissanite centre stone is graded colourless with VVS clarity. Colourless is the top colour band for moissanite, and VVS means inclusions are extremely difficult to see even under ten times magnification. The grades are the same on every metal and every carat weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill people be able to tell it is not a diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot by looking. Both stones are colourless and brilliantly cut, and at arm length they read the same. In direct sunlight moissanite throws more rainbow coloured fire than a diamond does, which is the only tell most people would ever notice. Telling the two apart with certainty needs a conductivity tester, or a loupe and the training to read facet doubling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes moissanite get cloudy or lose its sparkle over time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it is one of the hardest gem materials there is, and it does not abrade, cloud or dull with wear the way cubic zirconia does. What makes any ring look dull is a film of skin oil, soap and hand cream, and a gentle clean restores it completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat ring sizes can I order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe make sizes 1.5 to 13, including every half size. Choose your size at checkout. If you are unsure, measure a ring that already fits the correct finger, or ask a local jeweller to size you, and remember that fingers run slightly larger in hot weather and late in the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long will it take to arrive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery ring is made to order in our workshop in Surat. Allow ten to fourteen working days for making, plus three to seven working days for insured worldwide shipping. If you have a proposal date, tell us when you order and we will confirm whether we can meet it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the metal solid, or is it plated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is solid throughout. 925 sterling silver is 92.5 per cent pure silver, and the gold options are solid 10K, 14K or 18K alloy stamped with the karat mark. Nothing in this range is gold plated, gold filled or gold bonded. White gold carries a rhodium finish on the surface, which is standard for all white gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the wedding band included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The price is for the engagement ring alone. Wedding bands are sold separately, and we are happy to advise which of ours sits best beside this design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo you offer engraving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, and there is no charge for it. Tell us the wording when you order and we will engrave the inside of the band. Most people choose a date, a set of initials or a short phrase.

We make that toi et moi pairing here, with the oval in colourless moissanite, in the metal and carat weight you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is designed and made by Mapple Gems and is inspired by a style Ariana Grande has been publicly photographed wearing. It is not the same ring, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Ariana Grande. The centre stone is moissanite, not diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat toi et moi means\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eToi et moi is French for you and me. A toi et moi ring sets two stones side by side, each standing for one partner. The style goes back centuries and was famously revived in the Napoleonic era, and it has become one of the most searched engagement designs of the last few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePairing a moissanite with a pearl makes the idea even clearer. The oval is all fire and brilliance, the pearl is soft lustre with no facets at all, and the contrast between them is the whole point of the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band is kept slim and plain so the two gems sit close together on the finger and read as a single pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the oval cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe oval cut is an elongated brilliant cut with about 56 to 58 facets. It carries roughly 10 per cent more face up surface than a round of the same weight, so it reads larger on the finger and lengthens the look of the hand. It is one of the most requested engagement shapes, and it is cut here to the same proportions we would use for a diamond of the same outline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIs this style right for you?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost toi et moi rings pair two faceted stones. Choosing a pearl as the second stone gives a softer, more romantic contrast and a ring that very few people will be wearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat moissanite actually is\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite is silicon carbide, a crystal first identified by the French chemist Henri Moissan in 1893 in fragments of the Canyon Diablo meteorite in Arizona. He won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1906, and the mineral was named after him. Natural moissanite is vanishingly rare, so every moissanite sold as a gemstone today is grown in a laboratory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is what that means for a ring you will wear every day:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness 9.25 on the Mohs scale.\u003c\/strong\u003e Only diamond and a handful of laboratory materials are harder. It will not scratch from ordinary wear, and it is well suited to a ring worn daily for decades.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRefractive index of 2.65 to 2.69\u003c\/strong\u003e, higher than diamond at 2.42. More light is bent back to the eye, which is why a moissanite reads noticeably brighter than a diamond of the same size under the same light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDispersion of 0.104\u003c\/strong\u003e, against 0.044 for diamond. Dispersion is the splitting of white light into spectral colours. This is the origin of the rainbow fire moissanite is known for, most visible in direct sun or under spotlights.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoubly refractive.\u003c\/strong\u003e Under strong magnification a gemmologist can see facet edges doubled. To the naked eye it looks like extra brilliance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite is not cubic zirconia and it is not glass. Cubic zirconia is far softer at 8 to 8.5 on the Mohs scale, it clouds and abrades within a few years of daily wear, and it has little resale value. Moissanite keeps its polish and its brightness indefinitely. It is also not a diamond, laboratory grown or mined, and we never describe it as one. It is its own gemstone with its own optical signature, chosen by people who want maximum presence on the hand for a fraction of the cost of a diamond of the same size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery moissanite we set is graded colourless, the top colour band for moissanite, and VVS clarity, which means any inclusions are extremely difficult to find even under ten times magnification. Nothing is visible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your metal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is made to order in ten metals, so the version you choose is the version we build. There is no plating over a base metal and no filled or bonded gold anywhere in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e925 sterling silver\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most affordable way to own the design. It is 92.5 per cent pure silver, bright white, and it takes a high polish. Silver is softer than gold and will pick up fine surface marks with daily wear. It can also tarnish, and a soft polishing cloth brings it straight back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 41.7 per cent pure gold. It is the hardest and most scratch resistant of the three gold alloys, a sensible choice for hands that work. The colour is a little paler than 14K.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e14K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 58.5 per cent pure gold and it is what most engagement rings sold in the United States are made from. It balances a warm, convincing colour against real everyday durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 75 per cent pure gold. It has the deepest, richest colour and the most weight in the hand. It is also the softest of the three, so it marks a little more readily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eYellow gold is gold alloyed with silver and copper. Rose gold takes more copper, which gives the warm pink tone. White gold is alloyed with palladium or nickel and finished with rhodium plating, which gives it a bright white face. Rhodium wears thin over time and wants redoing roughly every one to two years, which any jeweller can do quickly. Every gold ring is stamped with its karat mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your carat size\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is offered in 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat centre stones. Carat is a unit of weight, not of width, and the photographs may show a different size from the one you choose. The version you select is the one we make.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most chosen size. It is unmistakably a statement stone and still sits comfortably under a glove or a coat sleeve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a clear step up in presence and photographs beautifully. This is where most people land when they want the ring to be the first thing anyone notices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e covers the finger generously and suits longer fingers and larger ring sizes particularly well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a red carpet stone, the closest to the celebrity look. It is the size people ask about across a room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are between sizes, order the smaller centre stone in a richer metal rather than the larger stone in the cheapest one. A well made ring in 14K or 18K gold ages far better than an oversized stone on a thin shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMade to order in our own workshop\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a family run jewellery workshop in Surat, in Gujarat, India. Surat is where roughly nine out of every ten diamonds in the world are cut and polished, and the bench skills that grew up around that trade are what this ring is built on. We do not hold finished stock. When your order comes in, a goldsmith casts your metal in your size, a setter places every stone by hand under a microscope, and the piece is polished, checked and photographed before it leaves us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking takes ten to fourteen working days for most orders. Shipping is free worldwide and fully insured, and it is normally three to seven working days once the ring has left the bench. Buying direct from the bench is the reason a ring like this costs what it does here rather than several times more on a high street.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCaring for your ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pearl needs gentler care than the moissanite. Do not soak this ring or put it in an ultrasonic cleaner. Wipe the pearl with a soft, slightly damp cloth, and clean the moissanite with a soft brush and a little warm soapy water, keeping the pearl out of the water. Put the ring on after perfume, hairspray and lotion, never before.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTake the ring off before the gym, gardening, swimming pools and hot tubs, and before using bleach or oven cleaner. Chlorine attacks the alloys in gold over time and does nothing good to sterling silver. Store it on its own rather than loose in a box with other pieces. Have the claws or setting checked by a jeweller once a year. White gold will want its rhodium refreshed every one to two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions people ask about this ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same ring Ariana Grande wears?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This is our own ring, made in our workshop and inspired by a style Ariana Grande has been publicly photographed wearing. It is set with moissanite rather than diamond, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Ariana Grande.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the carat option refer to?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe carat option is the weight of the oval moissanite. The pearl is set in addition to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a pearl durable enough for an engagement ring?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA pearl is much softer than moissanite, around 2.5 to 4.5 on the Mohs scale, so it needs more care. Put the ring on after perfume, hairspray and lotion, take it off for washing up, cleaning and the gym, and wipe the pearl with a soft damp cloth. Treated this way it will stay beautiful for many years, and a pearl can always be replaced if it is ever damaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow should I clean the pearl?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNever soak it or use an ultrasonic cleaner. Wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth and let it air dry. You can clean the moissanite gently with a soft brush, keeping the pearl out of the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat colour and clarity is the moissanite?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery moissanite centre stone is graded colourless with VVS clarity. Colourless is the top colour band for moissanite, and VVS means inclusions are extremely difficult to see even under ten times magnification. The grades are the same on every metal and every carat weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill people be able to tell it is not a diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot by looking. Both stones are colourless and brilliantly cut, and at arm length they read the same. In direct sunlight moissanite throws more rainbow coloured fire than a diamond does, which is the only tell most people would ever notice. Telling the two apart with certainty needs a conductivity tester, or a loupe and the training to read facet doubling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes moissanite get cloudy or lose its sparkle over time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it is one of the hardest gem materials there is, and it does not abrade, cloud or dull with wear the way cubic zirconia does. What makes any ring look dull is a film of skin oil, soap and hand cream, and a gentle clean restores it completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat ring sizes can I order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe make sizes 1.5 to 13, including every half size. Choose your size at checkout. If you are unsure, measure a ring that already fits the correct finger, or ask a local jeweller to size you, and remember that fingers run slightly larger in hot weather and late in the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long will it take to arrive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery ring is made to order in our workshop in Surat. Allow ten to fourteen working days for making, plus three to seven working days for insured worldwide shipping. If you have a proposal date, tell us when you order and we will confirm whether we can meet it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the metal solid, or is it plated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is solid throughout. 925 sterling silver is 92.5 per cent pure silver, and the gold options are solid 10K, 14K or 18K alloy stamped with the karat mark. Nothing in this range is gold plated, gold filled or gold bonded. White gold carries a rhodium finish on the surface, which is standard for all white gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the wedding band included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The price is for the engagement ring alone. Wedding bands are sold separately, and we are happy to advise which of ours sits best beside this design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo you offer engraving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, and there is no charge for it. Tell us the wording when you order and we will engrave the inside of the band. Most people choose a date, a set of initials or a short phrase. Allow up to about twenty five characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is your returns policy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReturns are accepted within thirty days of delivery on an unworn ring in its original packaging. Because every piece is made to order, engraved rings and rings made to a non standard specification are handled case by case. Write to us and we will sort it out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2

This ring captures that look, with a hidden halo and pavé band, in colourless moissanite in the metal and carat weight you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is designed and made by Mapple Gems and is inspired by a style Adele has been publicly photographed wearing. It is not the same ring, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Adele. The centre stone is moissanite, not diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA statement pear with hidden sparkle\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA hidden halo is a row of small stones set around the base of the pear, below its widest edge. You cannot see it from above, so the stone looks clean and large, but from the side it adds a line of sparkle that catches the light as the hand moves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe point sits in a V shaped claw that wraps the tip completely, since the point is the most exposed part of any pear shaped stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pavé runs across the top and sides of the band, with plain metal at the back for comfort and easy resizing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the pear cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pear cut, also called the teardrop, is a brilliant cut with one rounded end and one point, usually with around 58 facets. Like an oval it looks larger than a round of the same weight and lengthens the finger, and the point gives it direction and character. The point is the most exposed part of the stone, which is why it is always protected by a claw.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIs this style right for you?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompared with a pear in open claws alone, the hidden halo gives the head a more finished look and extra sparkle in profile, without changing the clean view from above.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat moissanite actually is\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite is silicon carbide, a crystal first identified by the French chemist Henri Moissan in 1893 in fragments of the Canyon Diablo meteorite in Arizona. He won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1906, and the mineral was named after him. Natural moissanite is vanishingly rare, so every moissanite sold as a gemstone today is grown in a laboratory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is what that means for a ring you will wear every day:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness 9.25 on the Mohs scale.\u003c\/strong\u003e Only diamond and a handful of laboratory materials are harder. It will not scratch from ordinary wear, and it is well suited to a ring worn daily for decades.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRefractive index of 2.65 to 2.69\u003c\/strong\u003e, higher than diamond at 2.42. More light is bent back to the eye, which is why a moissanite reads noticeably brighter than a diamond of the same size under the same light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDispersion of 0.104\u003c\/strong\u003e, against 0.044 for diamond. Dispersion is the splitting of white light into spectral colours. This is the origin of the rainbow fire moissanite is known for, most visible in direct sun or under spotlights.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoubly refractive.\u003c\/strong\u003e Under strong magnification a gemmologist can see facet edges doubled. To the naked eye it looks like extra brilliance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite is not cubic zirconia and it is not glass. Cubic zirconia is far softer at 8 to 8.5 on the Mohs scale, it clouds and abrades within a few years of daily wear, and it has little resale value. Moissanite keeps its polish and its brightness indefinitely. It is also not a diamond, laboratory grown or mined, and we never describe it as one. It is its own gemstone with its own optical signature, chosen by people who want maximum presence on the hand for a fraction of the cost of a diamond of the same size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery moissanite we set is graded colourless, the top colour band for moissanite, and VVS clarity, which means any inclusions are extremely difficult to find even under ten times magnification. Nothing is visible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your metal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is made to order in ten metals, so the version you choose is the version we build. There is no plating over a base metal and no filled or bonded gold anywhere in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e925 sterling silver\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most affordable way to own the design. It is 92.5 per cent pure silver, bright white, and it takes a high polish. Silver is softer than gold and will pick up fine surface marks with daily wear. It can also tarnish, and a soft polishing cloth brings it straight back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 41.7 per cent pure gold. It is the hardest and most scratch resistant of the three gold alloys, a sensible choice for hands that work. The colour is a little paler than 14K.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e14K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 58.5 per cent pure gold and it is what most engagement rings sold in the United States are made from. It balances a warm, convincing colour against real everyday durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 75 per cent pure gold. It has the deepest, richest colour and the most weight in the hand. It is also the softest of the three, so it marks a little more readily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eYellow gold is gold alloyed with silver and copper. Rose gold takes more copper, which gives the warm pink tone. White gold is alloyed with palladium or nickel and finished with rhodium plating, which gives it a bright white face. Rhodium wears thin over time and wants redoing roughly every one to two years, which any jeweller can do quickly. Every gold ring is stamped with its karat mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your carat size\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is offered in 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat centre stones. Carat is a unit of weight, not of width, and the photographs may show a different size from the one you choose. The version you select is the one we make.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most chosen size. It is unmistakably a statement stone and still sits comfortably under a glove or a coat sleeve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a clear step up in presence and photographs beautifully. This is where most people land when they want the ring to be the first thing anyone notices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e covers the finger generously and suits longer fingers and larger ring sizes particularly well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a red carpet stone, the closest to the celebrity look. It is the size people ask about across a room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are between sizes, order the smaller centre stone in a richer metal rather than the larger stone in the cheapest one. A well made ring in 14K or 18K gold ages far better than an oversized stone on a thin shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMade to order in our own workshop\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a family run jewellery workshop in Surat, in Gujarat, India. Surat is where roughly nine out of every ten diamonds in the world are cut and polished, and the bench skills that grew up around that trade are what this ring is built on. We do not hold finished stock. When your order comes in, a goldsmith casts your metal in your size, a setter places every stone by hand under a microscope, and the piece is polished, checked and photographed before it leaves us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking takes ten to fourteen working days for most orders. Shipping is free worldwide and fully insured, and it is normally three to seven working days once the ring has left the bench. Buying direct from the bench is the reason a ring like this costs what it does here rather than several times more on a high street.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCaring for your ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite attracts skin oil and hand cream the same way diamond does, and a film of it is the single most common reason a ring looks dull. Soak the ring for ten minutes in warm water with a drop of washing up liquid, brush gently behind and underneath the stone with a soft toothbrush, rinse and pat dry with a lint free cloth. Once a fortnight is plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTake the ring off before the gym, gardening, swimming pools and hot tubs, and before using bleach or oven cleaner. Chlorine attacks the alloys in gold over time and does nothing good to sterling silver. Store it on its own rather than loose in a box with other pieces. Have the claws or setting checked by a jeweller once a year. White gold will want its rhodium refreshed every one to two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions people ask about this ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same ring Adele wears?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This is our own ring, made in our workshop and inspired by a style Adele has been publicly photographed wearing. It is set with moissanite rather than diamond, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Adele.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a hidden halo?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA row of small stones set around the base of the centre stone, under its widest edge. It is invisible from above and adds sparkle from the side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich way should a pear engagement ring point?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTraditionally toward the fingertip, which lengthens the finger, but pointing it toward the wrist is equally correct. It is your choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan this ring be resized?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, usually by up to about two sizes, at the plain section at the back of the band.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat colour and clarity is the moissanite?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery moissanite centre stone is graded colourless with VVS clarity. Colourless is the top colour band for moissanite, and VVS means inclusions are extremely difficult to see even under ten times magnification. The grades are the same on every metal and every carat weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill people be able to tell it is not a diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot by looking. Both stones are colourless and brilliantly cut, and at arm length they read the same. In direct sunlight moissanite throws more rainbow coloured fire than a diamond does, which is the only tell most people would ever notice. Telling the two apart with certainty needs a conductivity tester, or a loupe and the training to read facet doubling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes moissanite get cloudy or lose its sparkle over time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it is one of the hardest gem materials there is, and it does not abrade, cloud or dull with wear the way cubic zirconia does. What makes any ring look dull is a film of skin oil, soap and hand cream, and a gentle clean restores it completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat ring sizes can I order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe make sizes 1.5 to 13, including every half size. Choose your size at checkout. If you are unsure, measure a ring that already fits the correct finger, or ask a local jeweller to size you, and remember that fingers run slightly larger in hot weather and late in the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long will it take to arrive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery ring is made to order in our workshop in Surat. Allow ten to fourteen working days for making, plus three to seven working days for insured worldwide shipping. If you have a proposal date, tell us when you order and we will confirm whether we can meet it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the metal solid, or is it plated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is solid throughout. 925 sterling silver is 92.5 per cent pure silver, and the gold options are solid 10K, 14K or 18K alloy stamped with the karat mark. Nothing in this range is gold plated, gold filled or gold bonded. White gold carries a rhodium finish on the surface, which is standard for all white gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the wedding band included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The price is for the engagement ring alone. Wedding bands are sold separately, and we are happy to advise which of ours sits best beside this design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo you offer engraving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, and there is no charge for it. Tell us the wording when you order and we will engrave the inside of the band. Most people choose a date, a set of initials or a short phrase. Allow up to about twenty five characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is your returns policy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReturns are accepted within thirty days of delivery on an unworn ring in its original packaging. Because every piece is made to order, engraved rings and rings made to a non standard specification are handled case by case. Write to us and we will sort it out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2

This ring gives you that clean, minimal look in colourless moissanite, in the metal and carat weight you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is designed and made by Mapple Gems and is inspired by a style Hailey Bieber has been publicly photographed wearing. It is not the same ring, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Hailey Bieber.

On a plain band, with no side stones or halo, the outline of the stone is all you see.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe four claws are kept slim so they hold the stone securely while covering as little of it as possible. Beneath the stone a low gallery rail links the claws, which adds strength and keeps the head neat from the side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause there is nothing on the band, this ring pairs with almost any wedding band you choose later, straight, curved or pavé.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the oval cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe oval cut is an elongated brilliant cut with about 56 to 58 facets. It carries roughly 10 per cent more face up surface than a round of the same weight, so it reads larger on the finger and lengthens the look of the hand. It is one of the most requested engagement shapes, and it is cut here to the same proportions we would use for a diamond of the same outline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIs this style right for you?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHalos, pavé and side stones all add sparkle, but they also add detail. This is the minimal choice, and the one that shows the most of the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat moissanite actually is\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite is silicon carbide, a crystal first identified by the French chemist Henri Moissan in 1893 in fragments of the Canyon Diablo meteorite in Arizona. He won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1906, and the mineral was named after him. Natural moissanite is vanishingly rare, so every moissanite sold as a gemstone today is grown in a laboratory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is what that means for a ring you will wear every day:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness 9.25 on the Mohs scale.\u003c\/strong\u003e Only diamond and a handful of laboratory materials are harder. It will not scratch from ordinary wear, and it is well suited to a ring worn daily for decades.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRefractive index of 2.65 to 2.69\u003c\/strong\u003e, higher than diamond at 2.42. More light is bent back to the eye, which is why a moissanite reads noticeably brighter than a diamond of the same size under the same light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDispersion of 0.104\u003c\/strong\u003e, against 0.044 for diamond. Dispersion is the splitting of white light into spectral colours. This is the origin of the rainbow fire moissanite is known for, most visible in direct sun or under spotlights.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoubly refractive.\u003c\/strong\u003e Under strong magnification a gemmologist can see facet edges doubled. To the naked eye it looks like extra brilliance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite is not cubic zirconia and it is not glass. Cubic zirconia is far softer at 8 to 8.5 on the Mohs scale, it clouds and abrades within a few years of daily wear, and it has little resale value. Moissanite keeps its polish and its brightness indefinitely. It is also not a diamond, laboratory grown or mined, and we never describe it as one. It is its own gemstone with its own optical signature, chosen by people who want maximum presence on the hand for a fraction of the cost of a diamond of the same size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery moissanite we set is graded colourless, the top colour band for moissanite, and VVS clarity, which means any inclusions are extremely difficult to find even under ten times magnification. Nothing is visible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your metal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is made to order in ten metals, so the version you choose is the version we build. There is no plating over a base metal and no filled or bonded gold anywhere in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e925 sterling silver\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most affordable way to own the design. It is 92.5 per cent pure silver, bright white, and it takes a high polish. Silver is softer than gold and will pick up fine surface marks with daily wear. It can also tarnish, and a soft polishing cloth brings it straight back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 41.7 per cent pure gold. It is the hardest and most scratch resistant of the three gold alloys, a sensible choice for hands that work. The colour is a little paler than 14K.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e14K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 58.5 per cent pure gold and it is what most engagement rings sold in the United States are made from. It balances a warm, convincing colour against real everyday durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 75 per cent pure gold. It has the deepest, richest colour and the most weight in the hand. It is also the softest of the three, so it marks a little more readily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eYellow gold is gold alloyed with silver and copper. Rose gold takes more copper, which gives the warm pink tone. White gold is alloyed with palladium or nickel and finished with rhodium plating, which gives it a bright white face. Rhodium wears thin over time and wants redoing roughly every one to two years, which any jeweller can do quickly. Every gold ring is stamped with its karat mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your carat size\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is offered in 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat centre stones. Carat is a unit of weight, not of width, and the photographs may show a different size from the one you choose. The version you select is the one we make.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most chosen size. It is unmistakably a statement stone and still sits comfortably under a glove or a coat sleeve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a clear step up in presence and photographs beautifully. This is where most people land when they want the ring to be the first thing anyone notices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e covers the finger generously and suits longer fingers and larger ring sizes particularly well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a red carpet stone, the closest to the celebrity look. It is the size people ask about across a room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are between sizes, order the smaller centre stone in a richer metal rather than the larger stone in the cheapest one. A well made ring in 14K or 18K gold ages far better than an oversized stone on a thin shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMade to order in our own workshop\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a family run jewellery workshop in Surat, in Gujarat, India. Surat is where roughly nine out of every ten diamonds in the world are cut and polished, and the bench skills that grew up around that trade are what this ring is built on. We do not hold finished stock. When your order comes in, a goldsmith casts your metal in your size, a setter places every stone by hand under a microscope, and the piece is polished, checked and photographed before it leaves us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking takes ten to fourteen working days for most orders. Shipping is free worldwide and fully insured, and it is normally three to seven working days once the ring has left the bench. Buying direct from the bench is the reason a ring like this costs what it does here rather than several times more on a high street.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCaring for your ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite attracts skin oil and hand cream the same way diamond does, and a film of it is the single most common reason a ring looks dull. Soak the ring for ten minutes in warm water with a drop of washing up liquid, brush gently behind and underneath the stone with a soft toothbrush, rinse and pat dry with a lint free cloth. Once a fortnight is plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTake the ring off before the gym, gardening, swimming pools and hot tubs, and before using bleach or oven cleaner. Chlorine attacks the alloys in gold over time and does nothing good to sterling silver. Store it on its own rather than loose in a box with other pieces. Have the claws or setting checked by a jeweller once a year. White gold will want its rhodium refreshed every one to two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions people ask about this ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same ring Hailey Bieber wears?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This is our own ring, made in our workshop and inspired by a style Hailey Bieber has been publicly photographed wearing. It is set with moissanite rather than diamond, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Hailey Bieber.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is an elongated oval?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn oval with a longer length to width ratio than usual. It looks larger for its weight and makes the finger look longer and slimmer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill a wedding band sit flush against this ring?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plain band and gallery rail sit low, so most straight and curved wedding bands stack neatly beside it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan this ring be resized?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The band is plain all the way round, so resizing is simple.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat colour and clarity is the moissanite?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery moissanite centre stone is graded colourless with VVS clarity. Colourless is the top colour band for moissanite, and VVS means inclusions are extremely difficult to see even under ten times magnification. The grades are the same on every metal and every carat weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill people be able to tell it is not a diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot by looking. Both stones are colourless and brilliantly cut, and at arm length they read the same. In direct sunlight moissanite throws more rainbow coloured fire than a diamond does, which is the only tell most people would ever notice. Telling the two apart with certainty needs a conductivity tester, or a loupe and the training to read facet doubling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes moissanite get cloudy or lose its sparkle over time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it is one of the hardest gem materials there is, and it does not abrade, cloud or dull with wear the way cubic zirconia does. What makes any ring look dull is a film of skin oil, soap and hand cream, and a gentle clean restores it completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat ring sizes can I order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe make sizes 1.5 to 13, including every half size. Choose your size at checkout. If you are unsure, measure a ring that already fits the correct finger, or ask a local jeweller to size you, and remember that fingers run slightly larger in hot weather and late in the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long will it take to arrive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery ring is made to order in our workshop in Surat. Allow ten to fourteen working days for making, plus three to seven working days for insured worldwide shipping. If you have a proposal date, tell us when you order and we will confirm whether we can meet it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the metal solid, or is it plated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is solid throughout. 925 sterling silver is 92.5 per cent pure silver, and the gold options are solid 10K, 14K or 18K alloy stamped with the karat mark. Nothing in this range is gold plated, gold filled or gold bonded. White gold carries a rhodium finish on the surface, which is standard for all white gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the wedding band included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The price is for the engagement ring alone. Wedding bands are sold separately, and we are happy to advise which of ours sits best beside this design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo you offer engraving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, and there is no charge for it. Tell us the wording when you order and we will engrave the inside of the band. Most people choose a date, a set of initials or a short phrase. Allow up to about twenty five characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is your returns policy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReturns are accepted within thirty days of delivery on an unworn ring in its original packaging. Because every piece is made to order, engraved rings and rings made to a non standard specification are handled case by case. Write to us and we will sort it out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2

He won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1906, and the mineral was named after him. Natural moissanite is vanishingly rare, so every moissanite sold as a gemstone today is grown in a laboratory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is what that means for a ring you will wear every day:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness 9.25 on the Mohs scale.\u003c\/strong\u003e Only diamond and a handful of laboratory materials are harder.

More light is bent back to the eye, which is why a moissanite reads noticeably brighter than a diamond of the same size under the same light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDispersion of 0.104\u003c\/strong\u003e, against 0.044 for diamond. Dispersion is the splitting of white light into spectral colours. This is the origin of the rainbow fire moissanite is known for, most visible in direct sun or under spotlights.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoubly refractive.\u003c\/strong\u003e Under strong magnification a gemmologist can see facet edges doubled. To the naked eye it looks like extra brilliance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite is not cubic zirconia and it is not glass. Cubic zirconia is far softer at 8 to 8.5 on the Mohs scale, it clouds and abrades within a few years of daily wear, and it has little resale value. Moissanite keeps its polish and its brightness indefinitely. It is also not a diamond, laboratory grown or mined, and we never describe it as one. It is its own gemstone with its own optical signature, chosen by people who want maximum presence on the hand for a fraction of the cost of a diamond of the same size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery moissanite we set is graded colourless, the top colour band for moissanite, and VVS clarity, which means any inclusions are extremely difficult to find even under ten times magnification. Nothing is visible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your metal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is made to order in ten metals, so the version you choose is the version we build.

It is 92.5 per cent pure silver, bright white, and it takes a high polish. Silver is softer than gold and will pick up fine surface marks with daily wear. It can also tarnish, and a soft polishing cloth brings it straight back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 41.7 per cent pure gold. It is the hardest and most scratch resistant of the three gold alloys, a sensible choice for hands that work. The colour is a little paler than 14K.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e14K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 58.5 per cent pure gold and it is what most engagement rings sold in the United States are made from. It balances a warm, convincing colour against real everyday durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 75 per cent pure gold. It has the deepest, richest colour and the most weight in the hand. It is also the softest of the three, so it marks a little more readily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eYellow gold is gold alloyed with silver and copper. Rose gold takes more copper, which gives the warm pink tone. White gold is alloyed with palladium or nickel and finished with rhodium plating, which gives it a bright white face. Rhodium wears thin over time and wants redoing roughly every one to two years, which any jeweller can do quickly. Every gold ring is stamped with its karat mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your carat size\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is offered in 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat centre stones. Carat is a unit of weight, not of width, and the photographs may show a different size from the one you choose. The version you select is the one we make.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most chosen size. It is unmistakably a statement stone and still sits comfortably under a glove or a coat sleeve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a clear step up in presence and photographs beautifully. This is where most people land when they want the ring to be the first thing anyone notices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e covers the finger generously and suits longer fingers and larger ring sizes particularly well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a red carpet stone, the closest to the celebrity look. It is the size people ask about across a room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are between sizes, order the smaller centre stone in a richer metal rather than the larger stone in the cheapest one. A well made ring in 14K or 18K gold ages far better than an oversized stone on a thin shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMade to order in our own workshop\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a family run jewellery workshop in Surat, in Gujarat, India. Surat is where roughly nine out of every ten diamonds in the world are cut and polished, and the bench skills that grew up around that trade are what this ring is built on. We do not hold finished stock. When your order comes in, a goldsmith casts your metal in your size, a setter places every stone by hand under a microscope, and the piece is polished, checked and photographed before it leaves us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking takes ten to fourteen working days for most orders. Shipping is free worldwide and fully insured, and it is normally three to seven working days once the ring has left the bench. Buying direct from the bench is the reason a ring like this costs what it does here rather than several times more on a high street.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCaring for your ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite attracts skin oil and hand cream the same way diamond does, and a film of it is the single most common reason a ring looks dull. Soak the ring for ten minutes in warm water with a drop of washing up liquid, brush gently behind and underneath the stone with a soft toothbrush, rinse and pat dry with a lint free cloth. Once a fortnight is plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTake the ring off before the gym, gardening, swimming pools and hot tubs, and before using bleach or oven cleaner. Chlorine attacks the alloys in gold over time and does nothing good to sterling silver. Store it on its own rather than loose in a box with other pieces. Have the claws or setting checked by a jeweller once a year. White gold will want its rhodium refreshed every one to two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions people ask about this ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same ring Dua Lipa wears?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This is our own ring, made in our workshop and inspired by a style Dua Lipa has been publicly photographed wearing. It is set with moissanite rather than diamond, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Dua Lipa.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a wide dome band comfortable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The inside is smoothly rounded, so it slips on easily and sits comfortably. Wide bands can feel a little snug, so if you are between sizes, choose the larger one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a half bezel secure?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVery. The metal holds the stone on two sides and the stone sits low in the band, so there is little to catch or knock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan this ring be resized?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, although a wide band takes a little more work. We recommend having it resized by us or by an experienced jeweller.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat colour and clarity is the moissanite?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery moissanite centre stone is graded colourless with VVS clarity. Colourless is the top colour band for moissanite, and VVS means inclusions are extremely difficult to see even under ten times magnification. The grades are the same on every metal and every carat weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill people be able to tell it is not a diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot by looking. Both stones are colourless and brilliantly cut, and at arm length they read the same. In direct sunlight moissanite throws more rainbow coloured fire than a diamond does, which is the only tell most people would ever notice. Telling the two apart with certainty needs a conductivity tester, or a loupe and the training to read facet doubling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes moissanite get cloudy or lose its sparkle over time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it is one of the hardest gem materials there is, and it does not abrade, cloud or dull with wear the way cubic zirconia does. What makes any ring look dull is a film of skin oil, soap and hand cream, and a gentle clean restores it completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat ring sizes can I order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe make sizes 1.5 to 13, including every half size. Choose your size at checkout. If you are unsure, measure a ring that already fits the correct finger, or ask a local jeweller to size you, and remember that fingers run slightly larger in hot weather and late in the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long will it take to arrive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery ring is made to order in our workshop in Surat. Allow ten to fourteen working days for making, plus three to seven working days for insured worldwide shipping. If you have a proposal date, tell us when you order and we will confirm whether we can meet it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the metal solid, or is it plated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is solid throughout. 925 sterling silver is 92.5 per cent pure silver, and the gold options are solid 10K, 14K or 18K alloy stamped with the karat mark. Nothing in this range is gold plated, gold filled or gold bonded. White gold carries a rhodium finish on the surface, which is standard for all white gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the wedding band included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The price is for the engagement ring alone. Wedding bands are sold separately, and we are happy to advise which of ours sits best beside this design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo you offer engraving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, and there is no charge for it. Tell us the wording when you order and we will engrave the inside of the band. Most people choose a date, a set of initials or a short phrase. Allow up to about twenty five characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is your returns policy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReturns are accepted within thirty days of delivery on an unworn ring in its original packaging. Because every piece is made to order, engraved rings and rings made to a non standard specification are handled case by case. Write to us and we will sort it out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2

He won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1906, and the mineral was named after him. Natural moissanite is vanishingly rare, so every moissanite sold as a gemstone today is grown in a laboratory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is what that means for a ring you will wear every day:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness 9.25 on the Mohs scale.\u003c\/strong\u003e Only diamond and a handful of laboratory materials are harder. It will not scratch from ordinary wear, and it is well suited to a ring worn daily for decades.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRefractive index of 2.65 to 2.69\u003c\/strong\u003e, higher than diamond at 2.42. More light is bent back to the eye, which is why a moissanite reads noticeably brighter than a diamond of the same size under the same light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDispersion of 0.104\u003c\/strong\u003e, against 0.044 for diamond. Dispersion is the splitting of white light into spectral colours. This is the origin of the rainbow fire moissanite is known for, most visible in direct sun or under spotlights.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoubly refractive.\u003c\/strong\u003e Under strong magnification a gemmologist can see facet edges doubled. To the naked eye it looks like extra brilliance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite is not cubic zirconia and it is not glass. Cubic zirconia is far softer at 8 to 8.5 on the Mohs scale, it clouds and abrades within a few years of daily wear, and it has little resale value. Moissanite keeps its polish and its brightness indefinitely. It is also not a diamond, laboratory grown or mined, and we never describe it as one. It is its own gemstone with its own optical signature, chosen by people who want maximum presence on the hand for a fraction of the cost of a diamond of the same size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery moissanite we set is graded colourless, the top colour band for moissanite, and VVS clarity, which means any inclusions are extremely difficult to find even under ten times magnification. Nothing is visible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your metal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is made to order in ten metals, so the version you choose is the version we build. There is no plating over a base metal and no filled or bonded gold anywhere in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e925 sterling silver\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most affordable way to own the design. It is 92.5 per cent pure silver, bright white, and it takes a high polish. Silver is softer than gold and will pick up fine surface marks with daily wear. It can also tarnish, and a soft polishing cloth brings it straight back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 41.7 per cent pure gold. It is the hardest and most scratch resistant of the three gold alloys, a sensible choice for hands that work. The colour is a little paler than 14K.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e14K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 58.5 per cent pure gold and it is what most engagement rings sold in the United States are made from. It balances a warm, convincing colour against real everyday durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 75 per cent pure gold. It has the deepest, richest colour and the most weight in the hand. It is also the softest of the three, so it marks a little more readily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eYellow gold is gold alloyed with silver and copper. Rose gold takes more copper, which gives the warm pink tone. White gold is alloyed with palladium or nickel and finished with rhodium plating, which gives it a bright white face. Rhodium wears thin over time and wants redoing roughly every one to two years, which any jeweller can do quickly. Every gold ring is stamped with its karat mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your carat size\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is offered in 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat centre stones. Carat is a unit of weight, not of width, and the photographs may show a different size from the one you choose. The version you select is the one we make.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most chosen size. It is unmistakably a statement stone and still sits comfortably under a glove or a coat sleeve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a clear step up in presence and photographs beautifully. This is where most people land when they want the ring to be the first thing anyone notices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e covers the finger generously and suits longer fingers and larger ring sizes particularly well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a red carpet stone, the closest to the celebrity look. It is the size people ask about across a room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are between sizes, order the smaller centre stone in a richer metal rather than the larger stone in the cheapest one. A well made ring in 14K or 18K gold ages far better than an oversized stone on a thin shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMade to order in our own workshop\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a family run jewellery workshop in Surat, in Gujarat, India. Surat is where roughly nine out of every ten diamonds in the world are cut and polished, and the bench skills that grew up around that trade are what this ring is built on. We do not hold finished stock. When your order comes in, a goldsmith casts your metal in your size, a setter places every stone by hand under a microscope, and the piece is polished, checked and photographed before it leaves us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking takes ten to fourteen working days for most orders. Shipping is free worldwide and fully insured, and it is normally three to seven working days once the ring has left the bench. Buying direct from the bench is the reason a ring like this costs what it does here rather than several times more on a high street.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCaring for your ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite attracts skin oil and hand cream the same way diamond does, and a film of it is the single most common reason a ring looks dull. Soak the ring for ten minutes in warm water with a drop of washing up liquid, brush gently behind and underneath the stone with a soft toothbrush, rinse and pat dry with a lint free cloth. Once a fortnight is plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTake the ring off before the gym, gardening, swimming pools and hot tubs, and before using bleach or oven cleaner. Chlorine attacks the alloys in gold over time and does nothing good to sterling silver. Store it on its own rather than loose in a box with other pieces. Have the claws or setting checked by a jeweller once a year. White gold will want its rhodium refreshed every one to two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions people ask about this ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same ring Selena Gomez wears?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This is our own ring, made in our workshop and inspired by a style Selena Gomez has been publicly photographed wearing. It is set with moissanite rather than diamond, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Selena Gomez.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes a marquise look bigger than other shapes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Its long outline gives it one of the largest face up areas of any shape for its carat weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy six claws?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA claw at each point protects the tips, which are the most delicate parts of a marquise, and two claws on each side hold the stone securely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan this ring be resized?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnly a little. Because the band is set with stones, resizing is limited, so please measure carefully before ordering. Contact us if you need a change and we will tell you what is possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat colour and clarity is the moissanite?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery moissanite centre stone is graded colourless with VVS clarity. Colourless is the top colour band for moissanite, and VVS means inclusions are extremely difficult to see even under ten times magnification. The grades are the same on every metal and every carat weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill people be able to tell it is not a diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot by looking. Both stones are colourless and brilliantly cut, and at arm length they read the same. In direct sunlight moissanite throws more rainbow coloured fire than a diamond does, which is the only tell most people would ever notice. Telling the two apart with certainty needs a conductivity tester, or a loupe and the training to read facet doubling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes moissanite get cloudy or lose its sparkle over time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it is one of the hardest gem materials there is, and it does not abrade, cloud or dull with wear the way cubic zirconia does. What makes any ring look dull is a film of skin oil, soap and hand cream, and a gentle clean restores it completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat ring sizes can I order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe make sizes 1.5 to 13, including every half size. Choose your size at checkout. If you are unsure, measure a ring that already fits the correct finger, or ask a local jeweller to size you, and remember that fingers run slightly larger in hot weather and late in the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long will it take to arrive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery ring is made to order in our workshop in Surat. Allow ten to fourteen working days for making, plus three to seven working days for insured worldwide shipping. If you have a proposal date, tell us when you order and we will confirm whether we can meet it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the metal solid, or is it plated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is solid throughout. 925 sterling silver is 92.5 per cent pure silver, and the gold options are solid 10K, 14K or 18K alloy stamped with the karat mark. Nothing in this range is gold plated, gold filled or gold bonded. White gold carries a rhodium finish on the surface, which is standard for all white gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the wedding band included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The price is for the engagement ring alone. Wedding bands are sold separately, and we are happy to advise which of ours sits best beside this design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo you offer engraving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, and there is no charge for it. Tell us the wording when you order and we will engrave the inside of the band. Most people choose a date, a set of initials or a short phrase. Allow up to about twenty five characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is your returns policy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReturns are accepted within thirty days of delivery on an unworn ring in its original packaging. Because every piece is made to order, engraved rings and rings made to a non standard specification are handled case by case. Write to us and we will sort it out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2

More light is bent back to the eye, which is why a moissanite reads noticeably brighter than a diamond of the same size under the same light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDispersion of 0.104\u003c\/strong\u003e, against 0.044 for diamond. Dispersion is the splitting of white light into spectral colours. This is the origin of the rainbow fire moissanite is known for, most visible in direct sun or under spotlights.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoubly refractive.\u003c\/strong\u003e Under strong magnification a gemmologist can see facet edges doubled. To the naked eye it looks like extra brilliance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite is not cubic zirconia and it is not glass. Cubic zirconia is far softer at 8 to 8.5 on the Mohs scale, it clouds and abrades within a few years of daily wear, and it has little resale value. Moissanite keeps its polish and its brightness indefinitely. It is also not a diamond, laboratory grown or mined, and we never describe it as one. It is its own gemstone with its own optical signature, chosen by people who want maximum presence on the hand for a fraction of the cost of a diamond of the same size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery moissanite we set is graded colourless, the top colour band for moissanite, and VVS clarity, which means any inclusions are extremely difficult to find even under ten times magnification. Nothing is visible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your metal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is made to order in ten metals, so the version you choose is the version we build. There is no plating over a base metal and no filled or bonded gold anywhere in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e925 sterling silver\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most affordable way to own the design. It is 92.5 per cent pure silver, bright white, and it takes a high polish. Silver is softer than gold and will pick up fine surface marks with daily wear. It can also tarnish, and a soft polishing cloth brings it straight back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 41.7 per cent pure gold. It is the hardest and most scratch resistant of the three gold alloys, a sensible choice for hands that work. The colour is a little paler than 14K.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e14K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 58.5 per cent pure gold and it is what most engagement rings sold in the United States are made from. It balances a warm, convincing colour against real everyday durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 75 per cent pure gold. It has the deepest, richest colour and the most weight in the hand. It is also the softest of the three, so it marks a little more readily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eYellow gold is gold alloyed with silver and copper. Rose gold takes more copper, which gives the warm pink tone. White gold is alloyed with palladium or nickel and finished with rhodium plating, which gives it a bright white face. Rhodium wears thin over time and wants redoing roughly every one to two years, which any jeweller can do quickly. Every gold ring is stamped with its karat mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your carat size\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is offered in 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat centre stones. Carat is a unit of weight, not of width, and the photographs may show a different size from the one you choose. The version you select is the one we make.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most chosen size. It is unmistakably a statement stone and still sits comfortably under a glove or a coat sleeve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a clear step up in presence and photographs beautifully. This is where most people land when they want the ring to be the first thing anyone notices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e covers the finger generously and suits longer fingers and larger ring sizes particularly well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a red carpet stone, the closest to the celebrity look. It is the size people ask about across a room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are between sizes, order the smaller centre stone in a richer metal rather than the larger stone in the cheapest one. A well made ring in 14K or 18K gold ages far better than an oversized stone on a thin shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMade to order in our own workshop\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a family run jewellery workshop in Surat, in Gujarat, India. Surat is where roughly nine out of every ten diamonds in the world are cut and polished, and the bench skills that grew up around that trade are what this ring is built on. We do not hold finished stock. When your order comes in, a goldsmith casts your metal in your size, a setter places every stone by hand under a microscope, and the piece is polished, checked and photographed before it leaves us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking takes ten to fourteen working days for most orders. Shipping is free worldwide and fully insured, and it is normally three to seven working days once the ring has left the bench. Buying direct from the bench is the reason a ring like this costs what it does here rather than several times more on a high street.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCaring for your ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite attracts skin oil and hand cream the same way diamond does, and a film of it is the single most common reason a ring looks dull. Soak the ring for ten minutes in warm water with a drop of washing up liquid, brush gently behind and underneath the stone with a soft toothbrush, rinse and pat dry with a lint free cloth. Once a fortnight is plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTake the ring off before the gym, gardening, swimming pools and hot tubs, and before using bleach or oven cleaner. Chlorine attacks the alloys in gold over time and does nothing good to sterling silver. Store it on its own rather than loose in a box with other pieces. Have the claws or setting checked by a jeweller once a year. White gold will want its rhodium refreshed every one to two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions people ask about this ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same ring Zendaya wears?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This is our own ring, made in our workshop and inspired by a style Zendaya has been publicly photographed wearing. It is set with moissanite rather than diamond, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Zendaya.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the ring two tone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe photographs show a white gold bezel on a yellow gold band, but your ring is made entirely in the metal you select. If you would like the two tone look, contact us before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a bezel setting good for everyday wear?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The rim protects the whole edge of the stone and there is nothing to catch on clothing or hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan this ring be resized?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The band is plain all the way round, so resizing is simple.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat colour and clarity is the moissanite?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery moissanite centre stone is graded colourless with VVS clarity. Colourless is the top colour band for moissanite, and VVS means inclusions are extremely difficult to see even under ten times magnification. The grades are the same on every metal and every carat weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill people be able to tell it is not a diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot by looking. Both stones are colourless and brilliantly cut, and at arm length they read the same. In direct sunlight moissanite throws more rainbow coloured fire than a diamond does, which is the only tell most people would ever notice. Telling the two apart with certainty needs a conductivity tester, or a loupe and the training to read facet doubling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes moissanite get cloudy or lose its sparkle over time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it is one of the hardest gem materials there is, and it does not abrade, cloud or dull with wear the way cubic zirconia does. What makes any ring look dull is a film of skin oil, soap and hand cream, and a gentle clean restores it completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat ring sizes can I order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe make sizes 1.5 to 13, including every half size. Choose your size at checkout. If you are unsure, measure a ring that already fits the correct finger, or ask a local jeweller to size you, and remember that fingers run slightly larger in hot weather and late in the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long will it take to arrive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery ring is made to order in our workshop in Surat. Allow ten to fourteen working days for making, plus three to seven working days for insured worldwide shipping. If you have a proposal date, tell us when you order and we will confirm whether we can meet it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the metal solid, or is it plated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is solid throughout. 925 sterling silver is 92.5 per cent pure silver, and the gold options are solid 10K, 14K or 18K alloy stamped with the karat mark. Nothing in this range is gold plated, gold filled or gold bonded. White gold carries a rhodium finish on the surface, which is standard for all white gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the wedding band included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The price is for the engagement ring alone. Wedding bands are sold separately, and we are happy to advise which of ours sits best beside this design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo you offer engraving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, and there is no charge for it. Tell us the wording when you order and we will engrave the inside of the band. Most people choose a date, a set of initials or a short phrase. Allow up to about twenty five characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is your returns policy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReturns are accepted within thirty days of delivery on an unworn ring in its original packaging. Because every piece is made to order, engraved rings and rings made to a non standard specification are handled case by case. Write to us and we will sort it out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2

The centre stone is a laboratory grown diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAn antique cut in a vintage frame\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe old mine cut is the ancestor of the modern cushion. It was the standard diamond cut of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, shaped by hand long before the modern round brilliant was worked out, and it is recognised by its softly squared outline, high crown, small table and broad, blocky facets. Instead of the fine pinfire sparkle of a modern brilliant it throws big, slow flashes of light, which is why it is often described as having a candlelit look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMilgrain is a line of tiny beads raised along the edge of the metal. It was a signature finish of Edwardian and Art Deco jewellery, and here it traces the whole outline of the bezel so the frame reads as fine detail rather than a hard rim. Four small claws sit at the corners over the bezel, which adds security and a little more of that antique character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBelow the head the band splits into two slim rails. The split gives the setting an open, airy look from the side, lets more light reach the stone and makes the head appear to float above the finger, while the back of the band stays a single comfortable shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the old mine cushion cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe old mine cut is the antique forerunner of today's cushion: a softly squared outline with a high crown, a small table and broad facets. It gives large, slow flashes of light rather than fine sparkle, and in an elongated outline it looks long, graceful and unmistakably vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIs this style right for you?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompared with a modern cushion in open claws, this design pairs the older, chunkier old mine faceting with a closed milgrain bezel and a split shank. Choose it if you want a softer, heirloom character rather than crisp modern sparkle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat laboratory grown means here\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA laboratory grown diamond is a real diamond. It is pure crystallised carbon with exactly the same chemical composition, crystal structure, hardness and optical properties as a diamond mined from the ground. The only difference is where it formed. Since 2018 the United States Federal Trade Commission has defined a diamond by what it is, not by where it came from, so a laboratory grown diamond is simply a diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre stones in this ring are grown by chemical vapour deposition, known as CVD. A thin slice of diamond is placed in a sealed chamber, carbon rich gas is heated into a plasma, and carbon atoms settle onto the slice layer by layer until a rough diamond has grown. The rough is then cut and polished exactly as a mined diamond would be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is what that means for a ring you will wear every day:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness 10 on the Mohs scale.\u003c\/strong\u003e Diamond is the hardest natural material known. It will not scratch from everyday wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRefractive index of 2.42 and dispersion of 0.044.\u003c\/strong\u003e These are the numbers that give diamond its brilliance and its fire, and they are identical in laboratory grown and mined stones.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt tests as diamond.\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard diamond testers read it as diamond. Only specialist laboratory equipment can tell how a diamond was formed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTraceable origin.\u003c\/strong\u003e Every stone is grown in a controlled facility, with no mining involved, and its IGI report states that it is laboratory grown.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEvery centre stone arrives IGI certified\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe International Gemological Institute, IGI, was founded in Antwerp in 1975 and is one of the largest independent diamond grading laboratories in the world. Every centre stone in this ring comes with its own IGI report, and there is no extra charge for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe report records the shape, measurements, carat weight, colour grade and clarity grade of your diamond, together with its polish and symmetry and the fact that it is laboratory grown. The report number can be checked on the IGI website, so you can confirm independently that the stone you receive is the stone described.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre stones are graded E-F colour, which sits at the top of the colourless range on the D to Z scale, and VS1 clarity, which means very slightly included: any inclusions are minor, difficult to see even under ten times magnification and invisible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your metal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is made to order in ten metals, so the version you choose is the version we build. There is no plating over a base metal and no filled or bonded gold anywhere in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e925 sterling silver\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most affordable way to own the design. It is 92.5 per cent pure silver, bright white, and it takes a high polish. Silver is softer than gold and will pick up fine surface marks with daily wear. It can also tarnish, and a soft polishing cloth brings it straight back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 41.7 per cent pure gold. It is the hardest and most scratch resistant of the three gold alloys, a sensible choice for hands that work. The colour is a little paler than 14K.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e14K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 58.5 per cent pure gold and it is what most engagement rings sold in the United States are made from. It balances a warm, convincing colour against real everyday durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 75 per cent pure gold. It has the deepest, richest colour and the most weight in the hand. It is also the softest of the three, so it marks a little more readily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eYellow gold is gold alloyed with silver and copper. Rose gold takes more copper, which gives the warm pink tone. White gold is alloyed with palladium or nickel and finished with rhodium plating, which gives it a bright white face. Rhodium wears thin over time and wants redoing roughly every one to two years, which any jeweller can do quickly. Every gold ring is stamped with its karat mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your carat size\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is offered with 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat centre diamonds. Carat is a unit of weight, not of width, and the photographs may show a different size from the one you choose. The version you select is the one we make, and its IGI report confirms the weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is already a substantial diamond, clearly a statement stone, and still easy to wear every day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a clear step up in presence and photographs beautifully. This is where most people land when they want the ring to be the first thing anyone notices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e covers the finger generously and suits longer fingers and larger ring sizes particularly well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a red carpet diamond, the closest to the celebrity look. It is the size people ask about across a room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaboratory growing is what makes these sizes realistic. A mined diamond of the same size, colour and clarity would typically cost many times more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMade to order in our own workshop\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a family run jewellery workshop in Surat, in Gujarat, India. Surat is where roughly nine out of every ten diamonds in the world are cut and polished, and the bench skills that grew up around that trade are what this ring is built on. We do not hold finished stock. When your order comes in, a goldsmith casts your metal in your size, a setter places every stone by hand under a microscope, and the piece is polished, checked and photographed before it leaves us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking takes ten to fourteen working days for most orders. Shipping is free worldwide and fully insured, and it is normally three to seven working days once the ring has left the bench. Your IGI report travels with the ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCaring for your ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiamonds attract skin oil and hand cream, and a film of it is the single most common reason a ring looks dull. Soak the ring for ten minutes in warm water with a drop of washing up liquid, brush gently behind and underneath the stone with a soft toothbrush, rinse and pat dry with a lint free cloth. Once a fortnight is plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiamond is hard but not unbreakable, and a sharp knock on the edge of the stone can chip it. Take the ring off before the gym, gardening, swimming pools and hot tubs, and before using bleach or oven cleaner. Chlorine attacks the alloys in gold over time and does nothing good to sterling silver. Store it on its own, because diamond will scratch other jewellery. Have the claws or setting checked by a jeweller once a year. White gold will want its rhodium refreshed every one to two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions people ask about this ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same ring Taylor Swift wears?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This is our own ring, made in our workshop and inspired by a style Taylor Swift has been publicly photographed wearing. It is set with an IGI certified laboratory grown diamond, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Taylor Swift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is an old mine cushion cut?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is an antique style cushion with a high crown, a small table and large facets, the cut that came before the modern cushion brilliant. It shows broad flashes of light rather than fine sparkle, and in an elongated outline it reads long and elegant on the finger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the bezel make the stone look smaller?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVery slightly. A bezel adds a thin frame of metal around the stone, and the milgrain edge keeps that frame delicate. In return it protects the whole edge of the stone from knocks, which is why bezels are one of the most secure settings there are.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan this ring be resized?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The back of the band is a single plain shank, so any jeweller can size it up or down without touching the split or the bezel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a laboratory grown diamond a real diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. It has the same chemical composition, crystal structure, hardness and sparkle as a mined diamond, and it is graded by the same laboratories on the same scales. The only difference is that it was grown in a controlled facility rather than formed underground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the ring come with a certificate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Every centre diamond comes with its own IGI report at no extra charge. It records the carat weight, E-F colour, VS1 clarity, measurements and the fact that the stone is laboratory grown, and the report number can be verified on the IGI website.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat colour and clarity is the diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre diamonds are E-F colour, at the top of the colourless range, and VS1 clarity, which means any inclusions are minor and invisible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill a jeweller be able to tell it is laboratory grown?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot by looking, and not with a standard diamond tester, which reads it as diamond. Identifying the growth method needs specialist laboratory equipment. The IGI report states openly that the stone is laboratory grown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat ring sizes can I order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe make sizes 1.5 to 13, including every half size. Choose your size at checkout. If you are unsure, measure a ring that already fits the correct finger, or ask a local jeweller to size you, and remember that fingers run slightly larger in hot weather and late in the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long will it take to arrive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery ring is made to order in our workshop in Surat. Allow ten to fourteen working days for making, plus three to seven working days for insured worldwide shipping. If you have a proposal date, tell us when you order and we will confirm whether we can meet it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the metal solid, or is it plated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is solid throughout. 925 sterling silver is 92.5 per cent pure silver, and the gold options are solid 10K, 14K or 18K alloy stamped with the karat mark. Nothing in this range is gold plated, gold filled or gold bonded. White gold carries a rhodium finish on the surface, which is standard for all white gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the wedding band included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The price is for the engagement ring alone. Wedding bands are sold separately, and we are happy to advise which of ours sits best beside this design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo you offer engraving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, and there is no charge for it. Tell us the wording when you order and we will engrave the inside of the band. Most people choose a date, a set of initials or a short phrase. Allow up to about twenty five characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is your returns policy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReturns are accepted within thirty days of delivery on an unworn ring in its original packaging with its IGI report. Because every piece is made to order, engraved rings and rings made to a non standard specification are handled case by case. Write to us and we will sort it out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2

We make it here with an IGI certified laboratory grown diamond at its centre, in the metal and carat weight you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is designed and made by Mapple Gems and is inspired by a style Winnie Harlow has been publicly photographed wearing. It is not the same ring, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Winnie Harlow. The centre stone is a laboratory grown diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy pears sit so well beside an oval\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA pear has one rounded end and one point. Set with the rounded end against the oval and the point facing out, each side stone continues the curve of the centre stone and then draws it to a fine tip, so the three stones read as a single elongated shape across the finger rather than three separate stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat tapering outline is also what makes this design flattering. It adds width at the centre and length along the band, which visually lengthens the finger in the same way an oval on its own does, only more so.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band is kept plain and slim on purpose. With three stones in the head there is plenty of light at the top of the ring, and a quiet band lets the outline of the stones do the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the oval cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe oval cut is an elongated brilliant cut with about 56 to 58 facets. It carries roughly 10 per cent more face up surface than a round of the same weight, so it reads larger on the finger and lengthens the look of the hand. It is one of the most requested engagement shapes of the last decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIs this style right for you?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRound or half moon side stones add width to an oval three stone. Pears add length and movement instead, so choose this design if you want the ring to look long, fluid and elegant on the finger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat laboratory grown means here\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA laboratory grown diamond is a real diamond. It is pure crystallised carbon with exactly the same chemical composition, crystal structure, hardness and optical properties as a diamond mined from the ground. The only difference is where it formed. Since 2018 the United States Federal Trade Commission has defined a diamond by what it is, not by where it came from, so a laboratory grown diamond is simply a diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre stones in this ring are grown by chemical vapour deposition, known as CVD. A thin slice of diamond is placed in a sealed chamber, carbon rich gas is heated into a plasma, and carbon atoms settle onto the slice layer by layer until a rough diamond has grown. The rough is then cut and polished exactly as a mined diamond would be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is what that means for a ring you will wear every day:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness 10 on the Mohs scale.\u003c\/strong\u003e Diamond is the hardest natural material known. It will not scratch from everyday wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRefractive index of 2.42 and dispersion of 0.044.\u003c\/strong\u003e These are the numbers that give diamond its brilliance and its fire, and they are identical in laboratory grown and mined stones.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt tests as diamond.\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard diamond testers read it as diamond. Only specialist laboratory equipment can tell how a diamond was formed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTraceable origin.\u003c\/strong\u003e Every stone is grown in a controlled facility, with no mining involved, and its IGI report states that it is laboratory grown.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEvery centre stone arrives IGI certified\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe International Gemological Institute, IGI, was founded in Antwerp in 1975 and is one of the largest independent diamond grading laboratories in the world. Every centre stone in this ring comes with its own IGI report, and there is no extra charge for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe report records the shape, measurements, carat weight, colour grade and clarity grade of your diamond, together with its polish and symmetry and the fact that it is laboratory grown. The report number can be checked on the IGI website, so you can confirm independently that the stone you receive is the stone described.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre stones are graded E-F colour, which sits at the top of the colourless range on the D to Z scale, and VS1 clarity, which means very slightly included: any inclusions are minor, difficult to see even under ten times magnification and invisible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your metal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is made to order in ten metals, so the version you choose is the version we build. There is no plating over a base metal and no filled or bonded gold anywhere in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e925 sterling silver\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most affordable way to own the design. It is 92.5 per cent pure silver, bright white, and it takes a high polish. Silver is softer than gold and will pick up fine surface marks with daily wear. It can also tarnish, and a soft polishing cloth brings it straight back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 41.7 per cent pure gold. It is the hardest and most scratch resistant of the three gold alloys, a sensible choice for hands that work. The colour is a little paler than 14K.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e14K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 58.5 per cent pure gold and it is what most engagement rings sold in the United States are made from. It balances a warm, convincing colour against real everyday durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 75 per cent pure gold. It has the deepest, richest colour and the most weight in the hand. It is also the softest of the three, so it marks a little more readily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eYellow gold is gold alloyed with silver and copper. Rose gold takes more copper, which gives the warm pink tone. White gold is alloyed with palladium or nickel and finished with rhodium plating, which gives it a bright white face. Rhodium wears thin over time and wants redoing roughly every one to two years, which any jeweller can do quickly. Every gold ring is stamped with its karat mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your carat size\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is offered with 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat centre diamonds. Carat is a unit of weight, not of width, and the photographs may show a different size from the one you choose. The version you select is the one we make, and its IGI report confirms the weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is already a substantial diamond, clearly a statement stone, and still easy to wear every day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a clear step up in presence and photographs beautifully. This is where most people land when they want the ring to be the first thing anyone notices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e covers the finger generously and suits longer fingers and larger ring sizes particularly well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a red carpet diamond, the closest to the celebrity look. It is the size people ask about across a room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaboratory growing is what makes these sizes realistic. A mined diamond of the same size, colour and clarity would typically cost many times more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMade to order in our own workshop\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a family run jewellery workshop in Surat, in Gujarat, India. Surat is where roughly nine out of every ten diamonds in the world are cut and polished, and the bench skills that grew up around that trade are what this ring is built on. We do not hold finished stock. When your order comes in, a goldsmith casts your metal in your size, a setter places every stone by hand under a microscope, and the piece is polished, checked and photographed before it leaves us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking takes ten to fourteen working days for most orders. Shipping is free worldwide and fully insured, and it is normally three to seven working days once the ring has left the bench. Your IGI report travels with the ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCaring for your ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiamonds attract skin oil and hand cream, and a film of it is the single most common reason a ring looks dull. Soak the ring for ten minutes in warm water with a drop of washing up liquid, brush gently behind and underneath the stone with a soft toothbrush, rinse and pat dry with a lint free cloth. Once a fortnight is plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiamond is hard but not unbreakable, and a sharp knock on the edge of the stone can chip it. Take the ring off before the gym, gardening, swimming pools and hot tubs, and before using bleach or oven cleaner. Chlorine attacks the alloys in gold over time and does nothing good to sterling silver. Store it on its own, because diamond will scratch other jewellery. Have the claws or setting checked by a jeweller once a year. White gold will want its rhodium refreshed every one to two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions people ask about this ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same ring Winnie Harlow wears?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This is our own ring, made in our workshop and inspired by a style Winnie Harlow has been publicly photographed wearing. It is set with an IGI certified laboratory grown diamond, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Winnie Harlow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the carat option refer to?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe carat option is the weight of the oval centre stone. The two pear side stones are set in addition to it, so the total stone weight on the ring is higher than the carat you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat does a three stone ring symbolise?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree stone rings are traditionally said to stand for the past, the present and the future of a relationship, which is a big part of why they are so popular for engagements and anniversaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan this ring be resized?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The band is plain all the way round, so any jeweller can resize it easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a laboratory grown diamond a real diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. It has the same chemical composition, crystal structure, hardness and sparkle as a mined diamond, and it is graded by the same laboratories on the same scales. The only difference is that it was grown in a controlled facility rather than formed underground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the ring come with a certificate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Every centre diamond comes with its own IGI report at no extra charge. It records the carat weight, E-F colour, VS1 clarity, measurements and the fact that the stone is laboratory grown, and the report number can be verified on the IGI website.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat colour and clarity is the diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre diamonds are E-F colour, at the top of the colourless range, and VS1 clarity, which means any inclusions are minor and invisible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill a jeweller be able to tell it is laboratory grown?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot by looking, and not with a standard diamond tester, which reads it as diamond. Identifying the growth method needs specialist laboratory equipment. The IGI report states openly that the stone is laboratory grown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat ring sizes can I order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe make sizes 1.5 to 13, including every half size. Choose your size at checkout. If you are unsure, measure a ring that already fits the correct finger, or ask a local jeweller to size you, and remember that fingers run slightly larger in hot weather and late in the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long will it take to arrive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery ring is made to order in our workshop in Surat. Allow ten to fourteen working days for making, plus three to seven working days for insured worldwide shipping. If you have a proposal date, tell us when you order and we will confirm whether we can meet it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the metal solid, or is it plated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is solid throughout. 925 sterling silver is 92.5 per cent pure silver, and the gold options are solid 10K, 14K or 18K alloy stamped with the karat mark. Nothing in this range is gold plated, gold filled or gold bonded. White gold carries a rhodium finish on the surface, which is standard for all white gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the wedding band included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The price is for the engagement ring alone. Wedding bands are sold separately, and we are happy to advise which of ours sits best beside this design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo you offer engraving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, and there is no charge for it. Tell us the wording when you order and we will engrave the inside of the band. Most people choose a date, a set of initials or a short phrase. Allow up to about twenty five characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is your returns policy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReturns are accepted within thirty days of delivery on an unworn ring in its original packaging with its IGI report. Because every piece is made to order, engraved rings and rings made to a non standard specification are handled case by case. Write to us and we will sort it out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2

This ring takes that silhouette, a dominant oval with close fitting half moons, and makes it with an IGI certified laboratory grown diamond at its centre, in the metal and carat weight you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is designed and made by Mapple Gems and is inspired by a style Serena Williams has been publicly photographed wearing. It is not the same ring, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Serena Williams. The centre stone is a laboratory grown diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHalf moons make the oval look even bigger\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA half moon is exactly what it sounds like: a stone with one straight edge and one curved edge. Set with the curve against the oval, the two side stones follow the outline of the centre stone so closely that the three read as a single, larger shape. The straight outer edges then square off the head and give the ring its strong, architectural look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the half moons add width rather than length, this design has real presence from the front. It is the three stone to choose if you want the ring to feel bold and substantial.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band is plain and slightly sturdier than our finest shanks, which balances the visual weight of a wide head and keeps the ring sitting straight on the finger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the oval cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe oval cut is an elongated brilliant cut with about 56 to 58 facets. It carries roughly 10 per cent more face up surface than a round of the same weight, so it reads larger on the finger and lengthens the look of the hand. It is one of the most requested engagement shapes of the last decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIs this style right for you?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePear side stones add length along the finger. Half moons add width and a crisp, squared outline instead, so this design looks bolder and more graphic for the same centre stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat laboratory grown means here\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA laboratory grown diamond is a real diamond. It is pure crystallised carbon with exactly the same chemical composition, crystal structure, hardness and optical properties as a diamond mined from the ground. The only difference is where it formed. Since 2018 the United States Federal Trade Commission has defined a diamond by what it is, not by where it came from, so a laboratory grown diamond is simply a diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre stones in this ring are grown by chemical vapour deposition, known as CVD. A thin slice of diamond is placed in a sealed chamber, carbon rich gas is heated into a plasma, and carbon atoms settle onto the slice layer by layer until a rough diamond has grown. The rough is then cut and polished exactly as a mined diamond would be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is what that means for a ring you will wear every day:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness 10 on the Mohs scale.\u003c\/strong\u003e Diamond is the hardest natural material known. It will not scratch from everyday wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRefractive index of 2.42 and dispersion of 0.044.\u003c\/strong\u003e These are the numbers that give diamond its brilliance and its fire, and they are identical in laboratory grown and mined stones.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt tests as diamond.\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard diamond testers read it as diamond. Only specialist laboratory equipment can tell how a diamond was formed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTraceable origin.\u003c\/strong\u003e Every stone is grown in a controlled facility, with no mining involved, and its IGI report states that it is laboratory grown.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEvery centre stone arrives IGI certified\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe International Gemological Institute, IGI, was founded in Antwerp in 1975 and is one of the largest independent diamond grading laboratories in the world. Every centre stone in this ring comes with its own IGI report, and there is no extra charge for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe report records the shape, measurements, carat weight, colour grade and clarity grade of your diamond, together with its polish and symmetry and the fact that it is laboratory grown. The report number can be checked on the IGI website, so you can confirm independently that the stone you receive is the stone described.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre stones are graded E-F colour, which sits at the top of the colourless range on the D to Z scale, and VS1 clarity, which means very slightly included: any inclusions are minor, difficult to see even under ten times magnification and invisible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your metal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is made to order in ten metals, so the version you choose is the version we build. There is no plating over a base metal and no filled or bonded gold anywhere in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e925 sterling silver\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most affordable way to own the design. It is 92.5 per cent pure silver, bright white, and it takes a high polish. Silver is softer than gold and will pick up fine surface marks with daily wear. It can also tarnish, and a soft polishing cloth brings it straight back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 41.7 per cent pure gold. It is the hardest and most scratch resistant of the three gold alloys, a sensible choice for hands that work. The colour is a little paler than 14K.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e14K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 58.5 per cent pure gold and it is what most engagement rings sold in the United States are made from. It balances a warm, convincing colour against real everyday durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 75 per cent pure gold. It has the deepest, richest colour and the most weight in the hand. It is also the softest of the three, so it marks a little more readily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eYellow gold is gold alloyed with silver and copper. Rose gold takes more copper, which gives the warm pink tone. White gold is alloyed with palladium or nickel and finished with rhodium plating, which gives it a bright white face. Rhodium wears thin over time and wants redoing roughly every one to two years, which any jeweller can do quickly. Every gold ring is stamped with its karat mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your carat size\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is offered with 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat centre diamonds. Carat is a unit of weight, not of width, and the photographs may show a different size from the one you choose. The version you select is the one we make, and its IGI report confirms the weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is already a substantial diamond, clearly a statement stone, and still easy to wear every day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a clear step up in presence and photographs beautifully.

It is the size people ask about across a room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaboratory growing is what makes these sizes realistic. A mined diamond of the same size, colour and clarity would typically cost many times more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMade to order in our own workshop\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a family run jewellery workshop in Surat, in Gujarat, India. Surat is where roughly nine out of every ten diamonds in the world are cut and polished, and the bench skills that grew up around that trade are what this ring is built on. We do not hold finished stock. When your order comes in, a goldsmith casts your metal in your size, a setter places every stone by hand under a microscope, and the piece is polished, checked and photographed before it leaves us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking takes ten to fourteen working days for most orders. Shipping is free worldwide and fully insured, and it is normally three to seven working days once the ring has left the bench. Your IGI report travels with the ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCaring for your ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiamonds attract skin oil and hand cream, and a film of it is the single most common reason a ring looks dull. Soak the ring for ten minutes in warm water with a drop of washing up liquid, brush gently behind and underneath the stone with a soft toothbrush, rinse and pat dry with a lint free cloth. Once a fortnight is plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiamond is hard but not unbreakable, and a sharp knock on the edge of the stone can chip it. Take the ring off before the gym, gardening, swimming pools and hot tubs, and before using bleach or oven cleaner. Chlorine attacks the alloys in gold over time and does nothing good to sterling silver. Store it on its own, because diamond will scratch other jewellery. Have the claws or setting checked by a jeweller once a year. White gold will want its rhodium refreshed every one to two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions people ask about this ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same ring Serena Williams wears?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This is our own ring, made in our workshop and inspired by a style Serena Williams has been publicly photographed wearing. It is set with an IGI certified laboratory grown diamond, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Serena Williams.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the carat option refer to?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe carat option is the weight of the oval centre stone. The two half moon side stones are set in addition to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a wide three stone ring comfortable to wear every day?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The head sits across the finger rather than high above it, and the plain band is comfortable all the way round. As with any statement ring, take it off for the gym and heavy work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan this ring be resized?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The band is plain metal, so resizing is straightforward for any jeweller.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a laboratory grown diamond a real diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. It has the same chemical composition, crystal structure, hardness and sparkle as a mined diamond, and it is graded by the same laboratories on the same scales. The only difference is that it was grown in a controlled facility rather than formed underground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the ring come with a certificate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Every centre diamond comes with its own IGI report at no extra charge. It records the carat weight, E-F colour, VS1 clarity, measurements and the fact that the stone is laboratory grown, and the report number can be verified on the IGI website.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat colour and clarity is the diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre diamonds are E-F colour, at the top of the colourless range, and VS1 clarity, which means any inclusions are minor and invisible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill a jeweller be able to tell it is laboratory grown?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot by looking, and not with a standard diamond tester, which reads it as diamond. Identifying the growth method needs specialist laboratory equipment. The IGI report states openly that the stone is laboratory grown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat ring sizes can I order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe make sizes 1.5 to 13, including every half size. Choose your size at checkout. If you are unsure, measure a ring that already fits the correct finger, or ask a local jeweller to size you, and remember that fingers run slightly larger in hot weather and late in the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long will it take to arrive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery ring is made to order in our workshop in Surat. Allow ten to fourteen working days for making, plus three to seven working days for insured worldwide shipping. If you have a proposal date, tell us when you order and we will confirm whether we can meet it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the metal solid, or is it plated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is solid throughout. 925 sterling silver is 92.5 per cent pure silver, and the gold options are solid 10K, 14K or 18K alloy stamped with the karat mark. Nothing in this range is gold plated, gold filled or gold bonded. White gold carries a rhodium finish on the surface, which is standard for all white gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the wedding band included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The price is for the engagement ring alone. Wedding bands are sold separately, and we are happy to advise which of ours sits best beside this design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo you offer engraving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, and there is no charge for it. Tell us the wording when you order and we will engrave the inside of the band. Most people choose a date, a set of initials or a short phrase. Allow up to about twenty five characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is your returns policy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReturns are accepted within thirty days of delivery on an unworn ring in its original packaging with its IGI report. Because every piece is made to order, engraved rings and rings made to a non standard specification are handled case by case. Write to us and we will sort it out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2

We make that look here with an IGI certified laboratory grown diamond at its centre, in the metal and carat weight you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is designed and made by Mapple Gems and is inspired by a style Phoebe Dynevor has been publicly photographed wearing. It is not the same ring, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Phoebe Dynevor. The centre stone is a laboratory grown diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA bezel and a band built as one piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA full bezel is a continuous rim of metal wrapped around the whole edge of the stone. It is the most protective setting there is: nothing can catch on it, nothing can snag a jumper, and the girdle of the stone is shielded from knocks on every side. That makes it a very practical choice for anyone who works with their hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band is formed as three rounded ridges running side by side. Where most bands are a single smooth surface, the ridges catch light in three separate lines and give the ring a sculpted, almost stacked look while remaining one solid piece of metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the band is wider than a typical engagement shank, the ring has a satisfying weight on the hand and sits very steadily, with the oval held low and close to the finger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the oval cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe oval cut is an elongated brilliant cut with about 56 to 58 facets. It carries roughly 10 per cent more face up surface than a round of the same weight, so it reads larger on the finger and lengthens the look of the hand. It is one of the most requested engagement shapes of the last decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIs this style right for you?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompared with a claw set oval on a slim band, this design is bolder, more modern and completely snag free, and its band is a design feature in its own right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat laboratory grown means here\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA laboratory grown diamond is a real diamond. It is pure crystallised carbon with exactly the same chemical composition, crystal structure, hardness and optical properties as a diamond mined from the ground. The only difference is where it formed. Since 2018 the United States Federal Trade Commission has defined a diamond by what it is, not by where it came from, so a laboratory grown diamond is simply a diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre stones in this ring are grown by chemical vapour deposition, known as CVD. A thin slice of diamond is placed in a sealed chamber, carbon rich gas is heated into a plasma, and carbon atoms settle onto the slice layer by layer until a rough diamond has grown. The rough is then cut and polished exactly as a mined diamond would be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is what that means for a ring you will wear every day:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness 10 on the Mohs scale.\u003c\/strong\u003e Diamond is the hardest natural material known. It will not scratch from everyday wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRefractive index of 2.42 and dispersion of 0.044.\u003c\/strong\u003e These are the numbers that give diamond its brilliance and its fire, and they are identical in laboratory grown and mined stones.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt tests as diamond.\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard diamond testers read it as diamond. Only specialist laboratory equipment can tell how a diamond was formed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTraceable origin.\u003c\/strong\u003e Every stone is grown in a controlled facility, with no mining involved, and its IGI report states that it is laboratory grown.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEvery centre stone arrives IGI certified\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe International Gemological Institute, IGI, was founded in Antwerp in 1975 and is one of the largest independent diamond grading laboratories in the world. Every centre stone in this ring comes with its own IGI report, and there is no extra charge for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe report records the shape, measurements, carat weight, colour grade and clarity grade of your diamond, together with its polish and symmetry and the fact that it is laboratory grown. The report number can be checked on the IGI website, so you can confirm independently that the stone you receive is the stone described.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre stones are graded E-F colour, which sits at the top of the colourless range on the D to Z scale, and VS1 clarity, which means very slightly included: any inclusions are minor, difficult to see even under ten times magnification and invisible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your metal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is made to order in ten metals, so the version you choose is the version we build. There is no plating over a base metal and no filled or bonded gold anywhere in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e925 sterling silver\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most affordable way to own the design. It is 92.5 per cent pure silver, bright white, and it takes a high polish. Silver is softer than gold and will pick up fine surface marks with daily wear. It can also tarnish, and a soft polishing cloth brings it straight back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 41.7 per cent pure gold. It is the hardest and most scratch resistant of the three gold alloys, a sensible choice for hands that work. The colour is a little paler than 14K.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e14K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 58.5 per cent pure gold and it is what most engagement rings sold in the United States are made from. It balances a warm, convincing colour against real everyday durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 75 per cent pure gold. It has the deepest, richest colour and the most weight in the hand. It is also the softest of the three, so it marks a little more readily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eYellow gold is gold alloyed with silver and copper. Rose gold takes more copper, which gives the warm pink tone. White gold is alloyed with palladium or nickel and finished with rhodium plating, which gives it a bright white face. Rhodium wears thin over time and wants redoing roughly every one to two years, which any jeweller can do quickly. Every gold ring is stamped with its karat mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your carat size\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is offered with 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat centre diamonds. Carat is a unit of weight, not of width, and the photographs may show a different size from the one you choose. The version you select is the one we make, and its IGI report confirms the weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is already a substantial diamond, clearly a statement stone, and still easy to wear every day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a clear step up in presence and photographs beautifully. This is where most people land when they want the ring to be the first thing anyone notices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e covers the finger generously and suits longer fingers and larger ring sizes particularly well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a red carpet diamond, the closest to the celebrity look. It is the size people ask about across a room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaboratory growing is what makes these sizes realistic. A mined diamond of the same size, colour and clarity would typically cost many times more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMade to order in our own workshop\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a family run jewellery workshop in Surat, in Gujarat, India. Surat is where roughly nine out of every ten diamonds in the world are cut and polished, and the bench skills that grew up around that trade are what this ring is built on. We do not hold finished stock. When your order comes in, a goldsmith casts your metal in your size, a setter places every stone by hand under a microscope, and the piece is polished, checked and photographed before it leaves us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking takes ten to fourteen working days for most orders. Shipping is free worldwide and fully insured, and it is normally three to seven working days once the ring has left the bench. Your IGI report travels with the ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCaring for your ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiamonds attract skin oil and hand cream, and a film of it is the single most common reason a ring looks dull. Soak the ring for ten minutes in warm water with a drop of washing up liquid, brush gently behind and underneath the stone with a soft toothbrush, rinse and pat dry with a lint free cloth. Once a fortnight is plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiamond is hard but not unbreakable, and a sharp knock on the edge of the stone can chip it. Take the ring off before the gym, gardening, swimming pools and hot tubs, and before using bleach or oven cleaner. Chlorine attacks the alloys in gold over time and does nothing good to sterling silver. Store it on its own, because diamond will scratch other jewellery. Have the claws or setting checked by a jeweller once a year. White gold will want its rhodium refreshed every one to two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions people ask about this ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same ring Phoebe Dynevor wears?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This is our own ring, made in our workshop and inspired by a style Phoebe Dynevor has been publicly photographed wearing. It is set with an IGI certified laboratory grown diamond, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Phoebe Dynevor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a bezel setting good for everyday wear?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is the most practical setting there is. The metal rim protects the whole edge of the stone and there are no claws to catch on clothing or hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes a bezel let enough light into the stone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVery little. The open face and the underside of the setting still let plenty of light into the diamond, and the polished rim frames the stone so it looks crisp and defined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan the ridged band be resized?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, although because the band is sculpted it is best resized by an experienced jeweller or by us, so the ridges line up perfectly afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a laboratory grown diamond a real diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. It has the same chemical composition, crystal structure, hardness and sparkle as a mined diamond, and it is graded by the same laboratories on the same scales. The only difference is that it was grown in a controlled facility rather than formed underground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the ring come with a certificate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Every centre diamond comes with its own IGI report at no extra charge. It records the carat weight, E-F colour, VS1 clarity, measurements and the fact that the stone is laboratory grown, and the report number can be verified on the IGI website.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat colour and clarity is the diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre diamonds are E-F colour, at the top of the colourless range, and VS1 clarity, which means any inclusions are minor and invisible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill a jeweller be able to tell it is laboratory grown?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot by looking, and not with a standard diamond tester, which reads it as diamond. Identifying the growth method needs specialist laboratory equipment. The IGI report states openly that the stone is laboratory grown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat ring sizes can I order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe make sizes 1.5 to 13, including every half size. Choose your size at checkout. If you are unsure, measure a ring that already fits the correct finger, or ask a local jeweller to size you, and remember that fingers run slightly larger in hot weather and late in the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long will it take to arrive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery ring is made to order in our workshop in Surat. Allow ten to fourteen working days for making, plus three to seven working days for insured worldwide shipping. If you have a proposal date, tell us when you order and we will confirm whether we can meet it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the metal solid, or is it plated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is solid throughout. 925 sterling silver is 92.5 per cent pure silver, and the gold options are solid 10K, 14K or 18K alloy stamped with the karat mark. Nothing in this range is gold plated, gold filled or gold bonded. White gold carries a rhodium finish on the surface, which is standard for all white gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the wedding band included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The price is for the engagement ring alone. Wedding bands are sold separately, and we are happy to advise which of ours sits best beside this design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo you offer engraving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, and there is no charge for it. Tell us the wording when you order and we will engrave the inside of the band. Most people choose a date, a set of initials or a short phrase. Allow up to about twenty five characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is your returns policy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReturns are accepted within thirty days of delivery on an unworn ring in its original packaging with its IGI report. Because every piece is made to order, engraved rings and rings made to a non standard specification are handled case by case. Write to us and we will sort it out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2

We make the look here with an IGI certified laboratory grown diamond at its centre, in the metal and carat weight you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is designed and made by Mapple Gems and is inspired by a style Margot Robbie has been publicly photographed wearing. It is not the same ring, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Margot Robbie. The centre stone is a laboratory grown diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA classic pear with a sparkling band\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe point is the most delicate part of any pear shaped stone, so it sits in a V shaped claw that wraps the tip completely. The rounded end is held by claws of its own, which keeps the setting open and lets as much light as possible into the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band is pavé set: small round stones set close together in the metal, so the shank reads as one continuous line of light that leads the eye to the centre stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorn point toward the fingertip, a pear lengthens and slims the finger. Some people prefer to wear it point toward the wrist, which is equally correct and simply a matter of taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the pear cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pear cut, also called the teardrop, is a brilliant cut with one rounded end and one point, usually with around 58 facets. Like an oval it looks larger than a round of the same weight and lengthens the finger, and the point gives it direction and character. The point is the most exposed part of the stone, which is why it is always protected by a claw.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIs this style right for you?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompared with a plain band solitaire, the pavé band adds a continuous line of sparkle without taking anything away from the pear. It is the classic, open, claw set way to wear a pear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat laboratory grown means here\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA laboratory grown diamond is a real diamond. It is pure crystallised carbon with exactly the same chemical composition, crystal structure, hardness and optical properties as a diamond mined from the ground. The only difference is where it formed. Since 2018 the United States Federal Trade Commission has defined a diamond by what it is, not by where it came from, so a laboratory grown diamond is simply a diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre stones in this ring are grown by chemical vapour deposition, known as CVD. A thin slice of diamond is placed in a sealed chamber, carbon rich gas is heated into a plasma, and carbon atoms settle onto the slice layer by layer until a rough diamond has grown. The rough is then cut and polished exactly as a mined diamond would be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is what that means for a ring you will wear every day:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness 10 on the Mohs scale.\u003c\/strong\u003e Diamond is the hardest natural material known. It will not scratch from everyday wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRefractive index of 2.42 and dispersion of 0.044.\u003c\/strong\u003e These are the numbers that give diamond its brilliance and its fire, and they are identical in laboratory grown and mined stones.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt tests as diamond.\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard diamond testers read it as diamond. Only specialist laboratory equipment can tell how a diamond was formed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTraceable origin.\u003c\/strong\u003e Every stone is grown in a controlled facility, with no mining involved, and its IGI report states that it is laboratory grown.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEvery centre stone arrives IGI certified\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe International Gemological Institute, IGI, was founded in Antwerp in 1975 and is one of the largest independent diamond grading laboratories in the world. Every centre stone in this ring comes with its own IGI report, and there is no extra charge for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe report records the shape, measurements, carat weight, colour grade and clarity grade of your diamond, together with its polish and symmetry and the fact that it is laboratory grown. The report number can be checked on the IGI website, so you can confirm independently that the stone you receive is the stone described.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre stones are graded E-F colour, which sits at the top of the colourless range on the D to Z scale, and VS1 clarity, which means very slightly included: any inclusions are minor, difficult to see even under ten times magnification and invisible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your metal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is made to order in ten metals, so the version you choose is the version we build. There is no plating over a base metal and no filled or bonded gold anywhere in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e925 sterling silver\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most affordable way to own the design. It is 92.5 per cent pure silver, bright white, and it takes a high polish. Silver is softer than gold and will pick up fine surface marks with daily wear. It can also tarnish, and a soft polishing cloth brings it straight back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 41.7 per cent pure gold. It is the hardest and most scratch resistant of the three gold alloys, a sensible choice for hands that work. The colour is a little paler than 14K.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e14K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 58.5 per cent pure gold and it is what most engagement rings sold in the United States are made from. It balances a warm, convincing colour against real everyday durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 75 per cent pure gold. It has the deepest, richest colour and the most weight in the hand. It is also the softest of the three, so it marks a little more readily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eYellow gold is gold alloyed with silver and copper. Rose gold takes more copper, which gives the warm pink tone. White gold is alloyed with palladium or nickel and finished with rhodium plating, which gives it a bright white face. Rhodium wears thin over time and wants redoing roughly every one to two years, which any jeweller can do quickly. Every gold ring is stamped with its karat mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your carat size\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is offered with 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat centre diamonds. Carat is a unit of weight, not of width, and the photographs may show a different size from the one you choose. The version you select is the one we make, and its IGI report confirms the weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is already a substantial diamond, clearly a statement stone, and still easy to wear every day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a clear step up in presence and photographs beautifully. This is where most people land when they want the ring to be the first thing anyone notices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e covers the finger generously and suits longer fingers and larger ring sizes particularly well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a red carpet diamond, the closest to the celebrity look. It is the size people ask about across a room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaboratory growing is what makes these sizes realistic. A mined diamond of the same size, colour and clarity would typically cost many times more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMade to order in our own workshop\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a family run jewellery workshop in Surat, in Gujarat, India. Surat is where roughly nine out of every ten diamonds in the world are cut and polished, and the bench skills that grew up around that trade are what this ring is built on. We do not hold finished stock. When your order comes in, a goldsmith casts your metal in your size, a setter places every stone by hand under a microscope, and the piece is polished, checked and photographed before it leaves us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking takes ten to fourteen working days for most orders. Shipping is free worldwide and fully insured, and it is normally three to seven working days once the ring has left the bench. Your IGI report travels with the ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCaring for your ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiamonds attract skin oil and hand cream, and a film of it is the single most common reason a ring looks dull. Soak the ring for ten minutes in warm water with a drop of washing up liquid, brush gently behind and underneath the stone with a soft toothbrush, rinse and pat dry with a lint free cloth. Once a fortnight is plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiamond is hard but not unbreakable, and a sharp knock on the edge of the stone can chip it. Take the ring off before the gym, gardening, swimming pools and hot tubs, and before using bleach or oven cleaner. Chlorine attacks the alloys in gold over time and does nothing good to sterling silver. Store it on its own, because diamond will scratch other jewellery. Have the claws or setting checked by a jeweller once a year. White gold will want its rhodium refreshed every one to two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions people ask about this ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same ring Margot Robbie wears?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This is our own ring, made in our workshop and inspired by a style Margot Robbie has been publicly photographed wearing. It is set with an IGI certified laboratory grown diamond, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Margot Robbie.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich way should a pear engagement ring point?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTraditionally the point faces the fingertip, which lengthens the finger. Pointing it toward the wrist is equally correct and some people find it softer. It is entirely your choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy does the point need a V claw?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tip is the thinnest part of a pear shaped stone and the most exposed to knocks. A V claw wraps it completely and protects it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan a pavé band be resized?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsually by up to about two sizes. The stones sit on the upper part of the band, and resizing is done at the plain section at the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a laboratory grown diamond a real diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. It has the same chemical composition, crystal structure, hardness and sparkle as a mined diamond, and it is graded by the same laboratories on the same scales. The only difference is that it was grown in a controlled facility rather than formed underground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the ring come with a certificate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Every centre diamond comes with its own IGI report at no extra charge. It records the carat weight, E-F colour, VS1 clarity, measurements and the fact that the stone is laboratory grown, and the report number can be verified on the IGI website.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat colour and clarity is the diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre diamonds are E-F colour, at the top of the colourless range, and VS1 clarity, which means any inclusions are minor and invisible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill a jeweller be able to tell it is laboratory grown?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot by looking, and not with a standard diamond tester, which reads it as diamond. Identifying the growth method needs specialist laboratory equipment. The IGI report states openly that the stone is laboratory grown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat ring sizes can I order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe make sizes 1.5 to 13, including every half size. Choose your size at checkout. If you are unsure, measure a ring that already fits the correct finger, or ask a local jeweller to size you, and remember that fingers run slightly larger in hot weather and late in the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long will it take to arrive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery ring is made to order in our workshop in Surat. Allow ten to fourteen working days for making, plus three to seven working days for insured worldwide shipping. If you have a proposal date, tell us when you order and we will confirm whether we can meet it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the metal solid, or is it plated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is solid throughout. 925 sterling silver is 92.5 per cent pure silver, and the gold options are solid 10K, 14K or 18K alloy stamped with the karat mark. Nothing in this range is gold plated, gold filled or gold bonded. White gold carries a rhodium finish on the surface, which is standard for all white gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the wedding band included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The price is for the engagement ring alone. Wedding bands are sold separately, and we are happy to advise which of ours sits best beside this design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo you offer engraving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, and there is no charge for it. Tell us the wording when you order and we will engrave the inside of the band. Most people choose a date, a set of initials or a short phrase. Allow up to about twenty five characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is your returns policy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReturns are accepted within thirty days of delivery on an unworn ring in its original packaging with its IGI report. Because every piece is made to order, engraved rings and rings made to a non standard specification are handled case by case. Write to us and we will sort it out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2

It is not the same ring, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Kourtney Kardashian. The centre stone is a laboratory grown diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe hidden halo, explained\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA hidden halo is a ring of small stones set around the base of the centre stone, below the girdle, where it is invisible from the top. From above the oval looks clean and uncluttered. From the side, the halo adds a band of light under the stone that you only notice when the hand moves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band is pavé set across the top and sides, with plain polished metal at the back. That keeps the ring comfortable against the neighbouring fingers and makes resizing simpler.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn elongated oval, one with a longer length to width ratio than a standard oval, covers more of the finger for its weight and gives the slim, lengthening look this style is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the oval cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe oval cut is an elongated brilliant cut with about 56 to 58 facets. It carries roughly 10 per cent more face up surface than a round of the same weight, so it reads larger on the finger and lengthens the look of the hand. It is one of the most requested engagement shapes of the last decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIs this style right for you?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompared with a plain oval solitaire, this design adds sparkle from the side and along the band while keeping the top view just as clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat laboratory grown means here\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA laboratory grown diamond is a real diamond. It is pure crystallised carbon with exactly the same chemical composition, crystal structure, hardness and optical properties as a diamond mined from the ground. The only difference is where it formed. Since 2018 the United States Federal Trade Commission has defined a diamond by what it is, not by where it came from, so a laboratory grown diamond is simply a diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre stones in this ring are grown by chemical vapour deposition, known as CVD. A thin slice of diamond is placed in a sealed chamber, carbon rich gas is heated into a plasma, and carbon atoms settle onto the slice layer by layer until a rough diamond has grown. The rough is then cut and polished exactly as a mined diamond would be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is what that means for a ring you will wear every day:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness 10 on the Mohs scale.\u003c\/strong\u003e Diamond is the hardest natural material known.

Only specialist laboratory equipment can tell how a diamond was formed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTraceable origin.\u003c\/strong\u003e Every stone is grown in a controlled facility, with no mining involved, and its IGI report states that it is laboratory grown.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEvery centre stone arrives IGI certified\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe International Gemological Institute, IGI, was founded in Antwerp in 1975 and is one of the largest independent diamond grading laboratories in the world. Every centre stone in this ring comes with its own IGI report, and there is no extra charge for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe report records the shape, measurements, carat weight, colour grade and clarity grade of your diamond, together with its polish and symmetry and the fact that it is laboratory grown. The report number can be checked on the IGI website, so you can confirm independently that the stone you receive is the stone described.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre stones are graded E-F colour, which sits at the top of the colourless range on the D to Z scale, and VS1 clarity, which means very slightly included: any inclusions are minor, difficult to see even under ten times magnification and invisible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your metal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is made to order in ten metals, so the version you choose is the version we build. There is no plating over a base metal and no filled or bonded gold anywhere in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e925 sterling silver\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most affordable way to own the design. It is 92.5 per cent pure silver, bright white, and it takes a high polish. Silver is softer than gold and will pick up fine surface marks with daily wear. It can also tarnish, and a soft polishing cloth brings it straight back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 41.7 per cent pure gold.

It has the deepest, richest colour and the most weight in the hand. It is also the softest of the three, so it marks a little more readily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eYellow gold is gold alloyed with silver and copper. Rose gold takes more copper, which gives the warm pink tone. White gold is alloyed with palladium or nickel and finished with rhodium plating, which gives it a bright white face. Rhodium wears thin over time and wants redoing roughly every one to two years, which any jeweller can do quickly. Every gold ring is stamped with its karat mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your carat size\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is offered with 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat centre diamonds. Carat is a unit of weight, not of width, and the photographs may show a different size from the one you choose. The version you select is the one we make, and its IGI report confirms the weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is already a substantial diamond, clearly a statement stone, and still easy to wear every day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a clear step up in presence and photographs beautifully.

It is the size people ask about across a room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaboratory growing is what makes these sizes realistic. A mined diamond of the same size, colour and clarity would typically cost many times more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMade to order in our own workshop\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a family run jewellery workshop in Surat, in Gujarat, India. Surat is where roughly nine out of every ten diamonds in the world are cut and polished, and the bench skills that grew up around that trade are what this ring is built on. We do not hold finished stock. When your order comes in, a goldsmith casts your metal in your size, a setter places every stone by hand under a microscope, and the piece is polished, checked and photographed before it leaves us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking takes ten to fourteen working days for most orders. Shipping is free worldwide and fully insured, and it is normally three to seven working days once the ring has left the bench. Your IGI report travels with the ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCaring for your ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiamonds attract skin oil and hand cream, and a film of it is the single most common reason a ring looks dull. Soak the ring for ten minutes in warm water with a drop of washing up liquid, brush gently behind and underneath the stone with a soft toothbrush, rinse and pat dry with a lint free cloth. Once a fortnight is plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiamond is hard but not unbreakable, and a sharp knock on the edge of the stone can chip it. Take the ring off before the gym, gardening, swimming pools and hot tubs, and before using bleach or oven cleaner. Chlorine attacks the alloys in gold over time and does nothing good to sterling silver. Store it on its own, because diamond will scratch other jewellery. Have the claws or setting checked by a jeweller once a year. White gold will want its rhodium refreshed every one to two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions people ask about this ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same ring Kourtney Kardashian wears?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This is our own ring, made in our workshop and inspired by a style Kourtney Kardashian has been publicly photographed wearing. It is set with an IGI certified laboratory grown diamond, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Kourtney Kardashian.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a hidden halo?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA row of small stones set around the base of the centre stone, under its widest edge. It cannot be seen from above, but it adds sparkle from the side and makes the head of the ring look more finished.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the pavé go all the way round the band?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The pavé covers the top and sides of the band and the back is plain polished metal, which is more comfortable and makes resizing easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan this ring be resized?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, usually by up to about two sizes, at the plain section of the band.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a laboratory grown diamond a real diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. It has the same chemical composition, crystal structure, hardness and sparkle as a mined diamond, and it is graded by the same laboratories on the same scales. The only difference is that it was grown in a controlled facility rather than formed underground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the ring come with a certificate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Every centre diamond comes with its own IGI report at no extra charge. It records the carat weight, E-F colour, VS1 clarity, measurements and the fact that the stone is laboratory grown, and the report number can be verified on the IGI website.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat colour and clarity is the diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre diamonds are E-F colour, at the top of the colourless range, and VS1 clarity, which means any inclusions are minor and invisible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill a jeweller be able to tell it is laboratory grown?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot by looking, and not with a standard diamond tester, which reads it as diamond. Identifying the growth method needs specialist laboratory equipment. The IGI report states openly that the stone is laboratory grown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat ring sizes can I order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe make sizes 1.5 to 13, including every half size. Choose your size at checkout. If you are unsure, measure a ring that already fits the correct finger, or ask a local jeweller to size you, and remember that fingers run slightly larger in hot weather and late in the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long will it take to arrive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery ring is made to order in our workshop in Surat. Allow ten to fourteen working days for making, plus three to seven working days for insured worldwide shipping. If you have a proposal date, tell us when you order and we will confirm whether we can meet it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the metal solid, or is it plated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is solid throughout. 925 sterling silver is 92.5 per cent pure silver, and the gold options are solid 10K, 14K or 18K alloy stamped with the karat mark. Nothing in this range is gold plated, gold filled or gold bonded. White gold carries a rhodium finish on the surface, which is standard for all white gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the wedding band included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The price is for the engagement ring alone. Wedding bands are sold separately, and we are happy to advise which of ours sits best beside this design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo you offer engraving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, and there is no charge for it. Tell us the wording when you order and we will engrave the inside of the band. Most people choose a date, a set of initials or a short phrase. Allow up to about twenty five characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is your returns policy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReturns are accepted within thirty days of delivery on an unworn ring in its original packaging with its IGI report. Because every piece is made to order, engraved rings and rings made to a non standard specification are handled case by case. Write to us and we will sort it out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2

It is pure crystallised carbon with exactly the same chemical composition, crystal structure, hardness and optical properties as a diamond mined from the ground. The only difference is where it formed. Since 2018 the United States Federal Trade Commission has defined a diamond by what it is, not by where it came from, so a laboratory grown diamond is simply a diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre stones in this ring are grown by chemical vapour deposition, known as CVD. A thin slice of diamond is placed in a sealed chamber, carbon rich gas is heated into a plasma, and carbon atoms settle onto the slice layer by layer until a rough diamond has grown. The rough is then cut and polished exactly as a mined diamond would be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is what that means for a ring you will wear every day:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness 10 on the Mohs scale.\u003c\/strong\u003e Diamond is the hardest natural material known.

Every centre stone in this ring comes with its own IGI report, and there is no extra charge for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe report records the shape, measurements, carat weight, colour grade and clarity grade of your diamond, together with its polish and symmetry and the fact that it is laboratory grown. The report number can be checked on the IGI website, so you can confirm independently that the stone you receive is the stone described.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre stones are graded E-F colour, which sits at the top of the colourless range on the D to Z scale, and VS1 clarity, which means very slightly included: any inclusions are minor, difficult to see even under ten times magnification and invisible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your metal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is made to order in ten metals, so the version you choose is the version we build.

It is also the softest of the three, so it marks a little more readily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eYellow gold is gold alloyed with silver and copper. Rose gold takes more copper, which gives the warm pink tone. White gold is alloyed with palladium or nickel and finished with rhodium plating, which gives it a bright white face. Rhodium wears thin over time and wants redoing roughly every one to two years, which any jeweller can do quickly. Every gold ring is stamped with its karat mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your carat size\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is offered with 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat centre diamonds. Carat is a unit of weight, not of width, and the photographs may show a different size from the one you choose. The version you select is the one we make, and its IGI report confirms the weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is already a substantial diamond, clearly a statement stone, and still easy to wear every day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a clear step up in presence and photographs beautifully.

It is the size people ask about across a room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaboratory growing is what makes these sizes realistic. A mined diamond of the same size, colour and clarity would typically cost many times more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMade to order in our own workshop\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a family run jewellery workshop in Surat, in Gujarat, India. Surat is where roughly nine out of every ten diamonds in the world are cut and polished, and the bench skills that grew up around that trade are what this ring is built on. We do not hold finished stock. When your order comes in, a goldsmith casts your metal in your size, a setter places every stone by hand under a microscope, and the piece is polished, checked and photographed before it leaves us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking takes ten to fourteen working days for most orders. Shipping is free worldwide and fully insured, and it is normally three to seven working days once the ring has left the bench. Your IGI report travels with the ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCaring for your ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiamonds attract skin oil and hand cream, and a film of it is the single most common reason a ring looks dull. Soak the ring for ten minutes in warm water with a drop of washing up liquid, brush gently behind and underneath the stone with a soft toothbrush, rinse and pat dry with a lint free cloth. Once a fortnight is plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiamond is hard but not unbreakable, and a sharp knock on the edge of the stone can chip it. Take the ring off before the gym, gardening, swimming pools and hot tubs, and before using bleach or oven cleaner. Chlorine attacks the alloys in gold over time and does nothing good to sterling silver. Store it on its own, because diamond will scratch other jewellery. Have the claws or setting checked by a jeweller once a year. White gold will want its rhodium refreshed every one to two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions people ask about this ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same ring Ciara wears?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This is our own ring, made in our workshop and inspired by a style Ciara has been publicly photographed wearing. It is set with an IGI certified laboratory grown diamond, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Ciara.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the carat option refer to?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe carat option is the weight of the cushion centre stone. The two half moons and two trillions are set in addition to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a trillion?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA trillion is a triangular cut stone. At the ends of a five stone design it finishes the line with a clean point and adds extra sparkle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan this ring be resized?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The band is plain metal, so resizing is straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a laboratory grown diamond a real diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. It has the same chemical composition, crystal structure, hardness and sparkle as a mined diamond, and it is graded by the same laboratories on the same scales. The only difference is that it was grown in a controlled facility rather than formed underground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the ring come with a certificate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Every centre diamond comes with its own IGI report at no extra charge. It records the carat weight, E-F colour, VS1 clarity, measurements and the fact that the stone is laboratory grown, and the report number can be verified on the IGI website.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat colour and clarity is the diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre diamonds are E-F colour, at the top of the colourless range, and VS1 clarity, which means any inclusions are minor and invisible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill a jeweller be able to tell it is laboratory grown?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot by looking, and not with a standard diamond tester, which reads it as diamond. Identifying the growth method needs specialist laboratory equipment. The IGI report states openly that the stone is laboratory grown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat ring sizes can I order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe make sizes 1.5 to 13, including every half size. Choose your size at checkout. If you are unsure, measure a ring that already fits the correct finger, or ask a local jeweller to size you, and remember that fingers run slightly larger in hot weather and late in the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long will it take to arrive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery ring is made to order in our workshop in Surat. Allow ten to fourteen working days for making, plus three to seven working days for insured worldwide shipping. If you have a proposal date, tell us when you order and we will confirm whether we can meet it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the metal solid, or is it plated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is solid throughout. 925 sterling silver is 92.5 per cent pure silver, and the gold options are solid 10K, 14K or 18K alloy stamped with the karat mark. Nothing in this range is gold plated, gold filled or gold bonded. White gold carries a rhodium finish on the surface, which is standard for all white gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the wedding band included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The price is for the engagement ring alone. Wedding bands are sold separately, and we are happy to advise which of ours sits best beside this design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo you offer engraving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, and there is no charge for it. Tell us the wording when you order and we will engrave the inside of the band. Most people choose a date, a set of initials or a short phrase. Allow up to about twenty five characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is your returns policy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReturns are accepted within thirty days of delivery on an unworn ring in its original packaging with its IGI report. Because every piece is made to order, engraved rings and rings made to a non standard specification are handled case by case. Write to us and we will sort it out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2

Its facets are long, parallel steps arranged around a large open table, with the corners cut off. Rather than the busy sparkle of a brilliant it gives long, slow flashes of light, often called the hall of mirrors effect, and a cool, elegant look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the table is so open, clarity matters more in an emerald cut than in any other shape. Every centre stone here is VS1 clarity and eye clean, and it arrives with its IGI report, which is exactly what an open table like this needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach corner is held by two claws rather than one. Double claws protect the cut corners, which are the most exposed part of the stone, and they frame the rectangle neatly. The split shank opens into two pavé rails, adding sparkle along the band without competing with the calm facets of the centre stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the emerald cut cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe emerald cut is a rectangular step cut with cut corners. Its long parallel facets create broad flashes of light and a calm, glassy look rather than busy sparkle. Because the table is so open, clarity matters, and an eye clean VS1 diamond shows the step facets cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIs this style right for you?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompared with a single claw emerald cut solitaire, this design adds double claws for security and a pavé split shank for sparkle and presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat laboratory grown means here\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA laboratory grown diamond is a real diamond. It is pure crystallised carbon with exactly the same chemical composition, crystal structure, hardness and optical properties as a diamond mined from the ground. The only difference is where it formed. Since 2018 the United States Federal Trade Commission has defined a diamond by what it is, not by where it came from, so a laboratory grown diamond is simply a diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre stones in this ring are grown by chemical vapour deposition, known as CVD. A thin slice of diamond is placed in a sealed chamber, carbon rich gas is heated into a plasma, and carbon atoms settle onto the slice layer by layer until a rough diamond has grown. The rough is then cut and polished exactly as a mined diamond would be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is what that means for a ring you will wear every day:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness 10 on the Mohs scale.\u003c\/strong\u003e Diamond is the hardest natural material known.

Only specialist laboratory equipment can tell how a diamond was formed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTraceable origin.\u003c\/strong\u003e Every stone is grown in a controlled facility, with no mining involved, and its IGI report states that it is laboratory grown.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEvery centre stone arrives IGI certified\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe International Gemological Institute, IGI, was founded in Antwerp in 1975 and is one of the largest independent diamond grading laboratories in the world. Every centre stone in this ring comes with its own IGI report, and there is no extra charge for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe report records the shape, measurements, carat weight, colour grade and clarity grade of your diamond, together with its polish and symmetry and the fact that it is laboratory grown. The report number can be checked on the IGI website, so you can confirm independently that the stone you receive is the stone described.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre stones are graded E-F colour, which sits at the top of the colourless range on the D to Z scale, and VS1 clarity, which means very slightly included: any inclusions are minor, difficult to see even under ten times magnification and invisible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your metal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is made to order in ten metals, so the version you choose is the version we build. There is no plating over a base metal and no filled or bonded gold anywhere in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e925 sterling silver\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most affordable way to own the design. It is 92.5 per cent pure silver, bright white, and it takes a high polish. Silver is softer than gold and will pick up fine surface marks with daily wear. It can also tarnish, and a soft polishing cloth brings it straight back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 41.7 per cent pure gold. It is the hardest and most scratch resistant of the three gold alloys, a sensible choice for hands that work. The colour is a little paler than 14K.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e14K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 58.5 per cent pure gold and it is what most engagement rings sold in the United States are made from. It balances a warm, convincing colour against real everyday durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 75 per cent pure gold. It has the deepest, richest colour and the most weight in the hand. It is also the softest of the three, so it marks a little more readily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eYellow gold is gold alloyed with silver and copper. Rose gold takes more copper, which gives the warm pink tone. White gold is alloyed with palladium or nickel and finished with rhodium plating, which gives it a bright white face. Rhodium wears thin over time and wants redoing roughly every one to two years, which any jeweller can do quickly. Every gold ring is stamped with its karat mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your carat size\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is offered with 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat centre diamonds. Carat is a unit of weight, not of width, and the photographs may show a different size from the one you choose. The version you select is the one we make, and its IGI report confirms the weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is already a substantial diamond, clearly a statement stone, and still easy to wear every day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a clear step up in presence and photographs beautifully. This is where most people land when they want the ring to be the first thing anyone notices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e covers the finger generously and suits longer fingers and larger ring sizes particularly well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a red carpet diamond, the closest to the celebrity look. It is the size people ask about across a room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaboratory growing is what makes these sizes realistic. A mined diamond of the same size, colour and clarity would typically cost many times more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMade to order in our own workshop\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a family run jewellery workshop in Surat, in Gujarat, India. Surat is where roughly nine out of every ten diamonds in the world are cut and polished, and the bench skills that grew up around that trade are what this ring is built on. We do not hold finished stock. When your order comes in, a goldsmith casts your metal in your size, a setter places every stone by hand under a microscope, and the piece is polished, checked and photographed before it leaves us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking takes ten to fourteen working days for most orders. Shipping is free worldwide and fully insured, and it is normally three to seven working days once the ring has left the bench. Your IGI report travels with the ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCaring for your ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiamonds attract skin oil and hand cream, and a film of it is the single most common reason a ring looks dull. Soak the ring for ten minutes in warm water with a drop of washing up liquid, brush gently behind and underneath the stone with a soft toothbrush, rinse and pat dry with a lint free cloth. Once a fortnight is plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiamond is hard but not unbreakable, and a sharp knock on the edge of the stone can chip it. Take the ring off before the gym, gardening, swimming pools and hot tubs, and before using bleach or oven cleaner. Chlorine attacks the alloys in gold over time and does nothing good to sterling silver. Store it on its own, because diamond will scratch other jewellery. Have the claws or setting checked by a jeweller once a year. White gold will want its rhodium refreshed every one to two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions people ask about this ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same ring Beyonce wears?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This is our own ring, made in our workshop and inspired by a style Beyonce has been publicly photographed wearing. It is set with an IGI certified laboratory grown diamond, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Beyonce.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs an emerald cut less sparkly than other shapes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt sparkles differently. It gives long, bright flashes rather than lots of small ones, and many people prefer its calm, glassy look. A well cut emerald cut diamond still shows flashes of colour in direct light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy double claws?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cut corners of an emerald cut are the parts most likely to chip if knocked. Two claws at each corner protect them and hold the stone very securely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan a split shank ring be resized?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The split section and the pavé are at the top of the band and resizing is done at the plain section at the back, usually by up to about two sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a laboratory grown diamond a real diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. It has the same chemical composition, crystal structure, hardness and sparkle as a mined diamond, and it is graded by the same laboratories on the same scales. The only difference is that it was grown in a controlled facility rather than formed underground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the ring come with a certificate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Every centre diamond comes with its own IGI report at no extra charge. It records the carat weight, E-F colour, VS1 clarity, measurements and the fact that the stone is laboratory grown, and the report number can be verified on the IGI website.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat colour and clarity is the diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre diamonds are E-F colour, at the top of the colourless range, and VS1 clarity, which means any inclusions are minor and invisible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill a jeweller be able to tell it is laboratory grown?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot by looking, and not with a standard diamond tester, which reads it as diamond. Identifying the growth method needs specialist laboratory equipment. The IGI report states openly that the stone is laboratory grown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat ring sizes can I order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe make sizes 1.5 to 13, including every half size. Choose your size at checkout. If you are unsure, measure a ring that already fits the correct finger, or ask a local jeweller to size you, and remember that fingers run slightly larger in hot weather and late in the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long will it take to arrive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery ring is made to order in our workshop in Surat. Allow ten to fourteen working days for making, plus three to seven working days for insured worldwide shipping. If you have a proposal date, tell us when you order and we will confirm whether we can meet it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the metal solid, or is it plated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is solid throughout. 925 sterling silver is 92.5 per cent pure silver, and the gold options are solid 10K, 14K or 18K alloy stamped with the karat mark. Nothing in this range is gold plated, gold filled or gold bonded. White gold carries a rhodium finish on the surface, which is standard for all white gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the wedding band included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The price is for the engagement ring alone. Wedding bands are sold separately, and we are happy to advise which of ours sits best beside this design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo you offer engraving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, and there is no charge for it. Tell us the wording when you order and we will engrave the inside of the band. Most people choose a date, a set of initials or a short phrase. Allow up to about twenty five characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is your returns policy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReturns are accepted within thirty days of delivery on an unworn ring in its original packaging with its IGI report. Because every piece is made to order, engraved rings and rings made to a non standard specification are handled case by case. Write to us and we will sort it out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2

We make that toi et moi pairing here, with an IGI certified laboratory grown oval diamond beside the pearl, in the metal and carat weight you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is designed and made by Mapple Gems and is inspired by a style Ariana Grande has been publicly photographed wearing. It is not the same ring, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Ariana Grande. The centre stone is a laboratory grown diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat toi et moi means\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eToi et moi is French for you and me. A toi et moi ring sets two stones side by side, each standing for one partner. The style goes back centuries and was famously revived in the Napoleonic era, and it has become one of the most searched engagement designs of the last few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePairing a lab grown diamond with a pearl makes the idea even clearer. The diamond is all fire and brilliance, the pearl is soft lustre with no facets at all, and the contrast between them is the whole point of the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band is kept slim and plain so the two gems sit close together on the finger and read as a single pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the oval cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe oval cut is an elongated brilliant cut with about 56 to 58 facets. It carries roughly 10 per cent more face up surface than a round of the same weight, so it reads larger on the finger and lengthens the look of the hand. It is one of the most requested engagement shapes of the last decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIs this style right for you?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost toi et moi rings pair two faceted stones. Choosing a pearl as the second stone beside a diamond gives a softer, more romantic contrast and a ring that very few people will be wearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat laboratory grown means here\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA laboratory grown diamond is a real diamond. It is pure crystallised carbon with exactly the same chemical composition, crystal structure, hardness and optical properties as a diamond mined from the ground. The only difference is where it formed. Since 2018 the United States Federal Trade Commission has defined a diamond by what it is, not by where it came from, so a laboratory grown diamond is simply a diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre stones in this ring are grown by chemical vapour deposition, known as CVD. A thin slice of diamond is placed in a sealed chamber, carbon rich gas is heated into a plasma, and carbon atoms settle onto the slice layer by layer until a rough diamond has grown. The rough is then cut and polished exactly as a mined diamond would be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is what that means for a ring you will wear every day:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness 10 on the Mohs scale.\u003c\/strong\u003e Diamond is the hardest natural material known.

Every centre stone in this ring comes with its own IGI report, and there is no extra charge for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe report records the shape, measurements, carat weight, colour grade and clarity grade of your diamond, together with its polish and symmetry and the fact that it is laboratory grown. The report number can be checked on the IGI website, so you can confirm independently that the stone you receive is the stone described.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre stones are graded E-F colour, which sits at the top of the colourless range on the D to Z scale, and VS1 clarity, which means very slightly included: any inclusions are minor, difficult to see even under ten times magnification and invisible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your metal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is made to order in ten metals, so the version you choose is the version we build. There is no plating over a base metal and no filled or bonded gold anywhere in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e925 sterling silver\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most affordable way to own the design. It is 92.5 per cent pure silver, bright white, and it takes a high polish. Silver is softer than gold and will pick up fine surface marks with daily wear. It can also tarnish, and a soft polishing cloth brings it straight back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 41.7 per cent pure gold. It is the hardest and most scratch resistant of the three gold alloys, a sensible choice for hands that work. The colour is a little paler than 14K.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e14K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 58.5 per cent pure gold and it is what most engagement rings sold in the United States are made from. It balances a warm, convincing colour against real everyday durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 75 per cent pure gold. It has the deepest, richest colour and the most weight in the hand. It is also the softest of the three, so it marks a little more readily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eYellow gold is gold alloyed with silver and copper. Rose gold takes more copper, which gives the warm pink tone. White gold is alloyed with palladium or nickel and finished with rhodium plating, which gives it a bright white face. Rhodium wears thin over time and wants redoing roughly every one to two years, which any jeweller can do quickly. Every gold ring is stamped with its karat mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your carat size\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is offered with 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat centre diamonds. Carat is a unit of weight, not of width, and the photographs may show a different size from the one you choose. The version you select is the one we make, and its IGI report confirms the weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is already a substantial diamond, clearly a statement stone, and still easy to wear every day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a clear step up in presence and photographs beautifully.

It is the size people ask about across a room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaboratory growing is what makes these sizes realistic. A mined diamond of the same size, colour and clarity would typically cost many times more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMade to order in our own workshop\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a family run jewellery workshop in Surat, in Gujarat, India. Surat is where roughly nine out of every ten diamonds in the world are cut and polished, and the bench skills that grew up around that trade are what this ring is built on. We do not hold finished stock. When your order comes in, a goldsmith casts your metal in your size, a setter places every stone by hand under a microscope, and the piece is polished, checked and photographed before it leaves us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking takes ten to fourteen working days for most orders. Shipping is free worldwide and fully insured, and it is normally three to seven working days once the ring has left the bench. Your IGI report travels with the ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCaring for your ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pearl needs gentler care than the diamond. Do not soak this ring or put it in an ultrasonic cleaner. Wipe the pearl with a soft, slightly damp cloth, and clean the diamond with a soft brush and a little warm soapy water, keeping the pearl out of the water. Put the ring on after perfume, hairspray and lotion, never before.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiamond is hard but not unbreakable, and a sharp knock on the edge of the stone can chip it. Take the ring off before the gym, gardening, swimming pools and hot tubs, and before using bleach or oven cleaner. Chlorine attacks the alloys in gold over time and does nothing good to sterling silver. Store it on its own, because diamond will scratch other jewellery. Have the claws or setting checked by a jeweller once a year. White gold will want its rhodium refreshed every one to two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions people ask about this ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same ring Ariana Grande wears?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This is our own ring, made in our workshop and inspired by a style Ariana Grande has been publicly photographed wearing. It is set with an IGI certified laboratory grown diamond, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Ariana Grande.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the carat option refer to?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe carat option is the weight of the oval lab grown diamond. The pearl is set in addition to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a pearl durable enough for an engagement ring?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA pearl is much softer than diamond, around 2.5 to 4.5 on the Mohs scale, so it needs more care. Put the ring on after perfume, hairspray and lotion, take it off for washing up, cleaning and the gym, and wipe the pearl with a soft damp cloth. Treated this way it will stay beautiful for many years, and a pearl can always be replaced if it is ever damaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow should I clean the pearl?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNever soak it or use an ultrasonic cleaner. Wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth and let it air dry. You can clean the diamond gently with a soft brush, keeping the pearl out of the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a laboratory grown diamond a real diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. It has the same chemical composition, crystal structure, hardness and sparkle as a mined diamond, and it is graded by the same laboratories on the same scales. The only difference is that it was grown in a controlled facility rather than formed underground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the ring come with a certificate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Every centre diamond comes with its own IGI report at no extra charge. It records the carat weight, E-F colour, VS1 clarity, measurements and the fact that the stone is laboratory grown, and the report number can be verified on the IGI website.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat colour and clarity is the diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre diamonds are E-F colour, at the top of the colourless range, and VS1 clarity, which means any inclusions are minor and invisible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill a jeweller be able to tell it is laboratory grown?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot by looking, and not with a standard diamond tester, which reads it as diamond. Identifying the growth method needs specialist laboratory equipment. The IGI report states openly that the stone is laboratory grown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat ring sizes can I order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe make sizes 1.5 to 13, including every half size. Choose your size at checkout. If you are unsure, measure a ring that already fits the correct finger, or ask a local jeweller to size you, and remember that fingers run slightly larger in hot weather and late in the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long will it take to arrive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery ring is made to order in our workshop in Surat. Allow ten to fourteen working days for making, plus three to seven working days for insured worldwide shipping. If you have a proposal date, tell us when you order and we will confirm whether we can meet it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the metal solid, or is it plated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is solid throughout. 925 sterling silver is 92.5 per cent pure silver, and the gold options are solid 10K, 14K or 18K alloy stamped with the karat mark. Nothing in this range is gold plated, gold filled or gold bonded. White gold carries a rhodium finish on the surface, which is standard for all white gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the wedding band included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The price is for the engagement ring alone. Wedding bands are sold separately, and we are happy to advise which of ours sits best beside this design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo you offer engraving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, and there is no charge for it. Tell us the wording when you order and we will engrave the inside of the band. Most people choose a date, a set of initials or a short phrase. Allow up to about twenty five characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is your returns policy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReturns are accepted within thirty days of delivery on an unworn ring in its original packaging with its IGI report. Because every piece is made to order, engraved rings and rings made to a non standard specification are handled case by case. Write to us and we will sort it out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2

You cannot see it from above, so the stone looks clean and large, but from the side it adds a line of sparkle that catches the light as the hand moves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe point sits in a V shaped claw that wraps the tip completely, since the point is the most exposed part of any pear shaped stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pavé runs across the top and sides of the band, with plain metal at the back for comfort and easy resizing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the pear cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pear cut, also called the teardrop, is a brilliant cut with one rounded end and one point, usually with around 58 facets. Like an oval it looks larger than a round of the same weight and lengthens the finger, and the point gives it direction and character. The point is the most exposed part of the stone, which is why it is always protected by a claw.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIs this style right for you?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompared with a pear in open claws alone, the hidden halo gives the head a more finished look and extra sparkle in profile, without changing the clean view from above.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat laboratory grown means here\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA laboratory grown diamond is a real diamond. It is pure crystallised carbon with exactly the same chemical composition, crystal structure, hardness and optical properties as a diamond mined from the ground. The only difference is where it formed. Since 2018 the United States Federal Trade Commission has defined a diamond by what it is, not by where it came from, so a laboratory grown diamond is simply a diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre stones in this ring are grown by chemical vapour deposition, known as CVD. A thin slice of diamond is placed in a sealed chamber, carbon rich gas is heated into a plasma, and carbon atoms settle onto the slice layer by layer until a rough diamond has grown. The rough is then cut and polished exactly as a mined diamond would be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is what that means for a ring you will wear every day:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness 10 on the Mohs scale.\u003c\/strong\u003e Diamond is the hardest natural material known. It will not scratch from everyday wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRefractive index of 2.42 and dispersion of 0.044.\u003c\/strong\u003e These are the numbers that give diamond its brilliance and its fire, and they are identical in laboratory grown and mined stones.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt tests as diamond.\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard diamond testers read it as diamond. Only specialist laboratory equipment can tell how a diamond was formed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTraceable origin.\u003c\/strong\u003e Every stone is grown in a controlled facility, with no mining involved, and its IGI report states that it is laboratory grown.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEvery centre stone arrives IGI certified\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe International Gemological Institute, IGI, was founded in Antwerp in 1975 and is one of the largest independent diamond grading laboratories in the world. Every centre stone in this ring comes with its own IGI report, and there is no extra charge for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe report records the shape, measurements, carat weight, colour grade and clarity grade of your diamond, together with its polish and symmetry and the fact that it is laboratory grown. The report number can be checked on the IGI website, so you can confirm independently that the stone you receive is the stone described.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre stones are graded E-F colour, which sits at the top of the colourless range on the D to Z scale, and VS1 clarity, which means very slightly included: any inclusions are minor, difficult to see even under ten times magnification and invisible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your metal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is made to order in ten metals, so the version you choose is the version we build. There is no plating over a base metal and no filled or bonded gold anywhere in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e925 sterling silver\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most affordable way to own the design. It is 92.5 per cent pure silver, bright white, and it takes a high polish. Silver is softer than gold and will pick up fine surface marks with daily wear. It can also tarnish, and a soft polishing cloth brings it straight back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 41.7 per cent pure gold. It is the hardest and most scratch resistant of the three gold alloys, a sensible choice for hands that work. The colour is a little paler than 14K.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e14K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 58.5 per cent pure gold and it is what most engagement rings sold in the United States are made from. It balances a warm, convincing colour against real everyday durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 75 per cent pure gold. It has the deepest, richest colour and the most weight in the hand. It is also the softest of the three, so it marks a little more readily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eYellow gold is gold alloyed with silver and copper. Rose gold takes more copper, which gives the warm pink tone. White gold is alloyed with palladium or nickel and finished with rhodium plating, which gives it a bright white face. Rhodium wears thin over time and wants redoing roughly every one to two years, which any jeweller can do quickly. Every gold ring is stamped with its karat mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your carat size\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is offered with 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat centre diamonds. Carat is a unit of weight, not of width, and the photographs may show a different size from the one you choose. The version you select is the one we make, and its IGI report confirms the weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is already a substantial diamond, clearly a statement stone, and still easy to wear every day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a clear step up in presence and photographs beautifully. This is where most people land when they want the ring to be the first thing anyone notices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e covers the finger generously and suits longer fingers and larger ring sizes particularly well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a red carpet diamond, the closest to the celebrity look. It is the size people ask about across a room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaboratory growing is what makes these sizes realistic. A mined diamond of the same size, colour and clarity would typically cost many times more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMade to order in our own workshop\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a family run jewellery workshop in Surat, in Gujarat, India. Surat is where roughly nine out of every ten diamonds in the world are cut and polished, and the bench skills that grew up around that trade are what this ring is built on. We do not hold finished stock. When your order comes in, a goldsmith casts your metal in your size, a setter places every stone by hand under a microscope, and the piece is polished, checked and photographed before it leaves us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking takes ten to fourteen working days for most orders. Shipping is free worldwide and fully insured, and it is normally three to seven working days once the ring has left the bench. Your IGI report travels with the ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCaring for your ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiamonds attract skin oil and hand cream, and a film of it is the single most common reason a ring looks dull. Soak the ring for ten minutes in warm water with a drop of washing up liquid, brush gently behind and underneath the stone with a soft toothbrush, rinse and pat dry with a lint free cloth. Once a fortnight is plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiamond is hard but not unbreakable, and a sharp knock on the edge of the stone can chip it. Take the ring off before the gym, gardening, swimming pools and hot tubs, and before using bleach or oven cleaner. Chlorine attacks the alloys in gold over time and does nothing good to sterling silver. Store it on its own, because diamond will scratch other jewellery. Have the claws or setting checked by a jeweller once a year. White gold will want its rhodium refreshed every one to two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions people ask about this ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same ring Adele wears?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This is our own ring, made in our workshop and inspired by a style Adele has been publicly photographed wearing. It is set with an IGI certified laboratory grown diamond, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Adele.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a hidden halo?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA row of small stones set around the base of the centre stone, under its widest edge. It is invisible from above and adds sparkle from the side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich way should a pear engagement ring point?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTraditionally toward the fingertip, which lengthens the finger, but pointing it toward the wrist is equally correct. It is your choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan this ring be resized?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, usually by up to about two sizes, at the plain section at the back of the band.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a laboratory grown diamond a real diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. It has the same chemical composition, crystal structure, hardness and sparkle as a mined diamond, and it is graded by the same laboratories on the same scales. The only difference is that it was grown in a controlled facility rather than formed underground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the ring come with a certificate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Every centre diamond comes with its own IGI report at no extra charge. It records the carat weight, E-F colour, VS1 clarity, measurements and the fact that the stone is laboratory grown, and the report number can be verified on the IGI website.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat colour and clarity is the diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre diamonds are E-F colour, at the top of the colourless range, and VS1 clarity, which means any inclusions are minor and invisible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill a jeweller be able to tell it is laboratory grown?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot by looking, and not with a standard diamond tester, which reads it as diamond. Identifying the growth method needs specialist laboratory equipment. The IGI report states openly that the stone is laboratory grown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat ring sizes can I order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe make sizes 1.5 to 13, including every half size. Choose your size at checkout. If you are unsure, measure a ring that already fits the correct finger, or ask a local jeweller to size you, and remember that fingers run slightly larger in hot weather and late in the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long will it take to arrive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery ring is made to order in our workshop in Surat. Allow ten to fourteen working days for making, plus three to seven working days for insured worldwide shipping. If you have a proposal date, tell us when you order and we will confirm whether we can meet it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the metal solid, or is it plated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is solid throughout. 925 sterling silver is 92.5 per cent pure silver, and the gold options are solid 10K, 14K or 18K alloy stamped with the karat mark. Nothing in this range is gold plated, gold filled or gold bonded. White gold carries a rhodium finish on the surface, which is standard for all white gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the wedding band included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The price is for the engagement ring alone. Wedding bands are sold separately, and we are happy to advise which of ours sits best beside this design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo you offer engraving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, and there is no charge for it. Tell us the wording when you order and we will engrave the inside of the band. Most people choose a date, a set of initials or a short phrase. Allow up to about twenty five characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is your returns policy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReturns are accepted within thirty days of delivery on an unworn ring in its original packaging with its IGI report. Because every piece is made to order, engraved rings and rings made to a non standard specification are handled case by case. Write to us and we will sort it out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2

This ring gives you that clean, minimal look with an IGI certified laboratory grown diamond at its centre, in the metal and carat weight you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is designed and made by Mapple Gems and is inspired by a style Hailey Bieber has been publicly photographed wearing. It is not the same ring, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Hailey Bieber. The centre stone is a laboratory grown diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the elongated oval solitaire works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn elongated oval has a longer length to width ratio than a standard oval, so it looks bigger for its carat weight and stretches the look of the finger. On a plain band, with no side stones or halo, the outline of the stone is all you see.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe four claws are kept slim so they hold the stone securely while covering as little of it as possible. Beneath the stone a low gallery rail links the claws, which adds strength and keeps the head neat from the side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause there is nothing on the band, this ring pairs with almost any wedding band you choose later, straight, curved or pavé.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the oval cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe oval cut is an elongated brilliant cut with about 56 to 58 facets. It carries roughly 10 per cent more face up surface than a round of the same weight, so it reads larger on the finger and lengthens the look of the hand. It is one of the most requested engagement shapes of the last decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIs this style right for you?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHalos, pavé and side stones all add sparkle, but they also add detail. This is the minimal choice, and the one that shows the most of the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat laboratory grown means here\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA laboratory grown diamond is a real diamond. It is pure crystallised carbon with exactly the same chemical composition, crystal structure, hardness and optical properties as a diamond mined from the ground. The only difference is where it formed. Since 2018 the United States Federal Trade Commission has defined a diamond by what it is, not by where it came from, so a laboratory grown diamond is simply a diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre stones in this ring are grown by chemical vapour deposition, known as CVD. A thin slice of diamond is placed in a sealed chamber, carbon rich gas is heated into a plasma, and carbon atoms settle onto the slice layer by layer until a rough diamond has grown. The rough is then cut and polished exactly as a mined diamond would be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is what that means for a ring you will wear every day:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness 10 on the Mohs scale.\u003c\/strong\u003e Diamond is the hardest natural material known. It will not scratch from everyday wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRefractive index of 2.42 and dispersion of 0.044.\u003c\/strong\u003e These are the numbers that give diamond its brilliance and its fire, and they are identical in laboratory grown and mined stones.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt tests as diamond.\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard diamond testers read it as diamond. Only specialist laboratory equipment can tell how a diamond was formed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTraceable origin.\u003c\/strong\u003e Every stone is grown in a controlled facility, with no mining involved, and its IGI report states that it is laboratory grown.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEvery centre stone arrives IGI certified\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe International Gemological Institute, IGI, was founded in Antwerp in 1975 and is one of the largest independent diamond grading laboratories in the world. Every centre stone in this ring comes with its own IGI report, and there is no extra charge for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe report records the shape, measurements, carat weight, colour grade and clarity grade of your diamond, together with its polish and symmetry and the fact that it is laboratory grown. The report number can be checked on the IGI website, so you can confirm independently that the stone you receive is the stone described.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre stones are graded E-F colour, which sits at the top of the colourless range on the D to Z scale, and VS1 clarity, which means very slightly included: any inclusions are minor, difficult to see even under ten times magnification and invisible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your metal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is made to order in ten metals, so the version you choose is the version we build. There is no plating over a base metal and no filled or bonded gold anywhere in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e925 sterling silver\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most affordable way to own the design. It is 92.5 per cent pure silver, bright white, and it takes a high polish. Silver is softer than gold and will pick up fine surface marks with daily wear. It can also tarnish, and a soft polishing cloth brings it straight back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 41.7 per cent pure gold. It is the hardest and most scratch resistant of the three gold alloys, a sensible choice for hands that work. The colour is a little paler than 14K.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e14K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 58.5 per cent pure gold and it is what most engagement rings sold in the United States are made from. It balances a warm, convincing colour against real everyday durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 75 per cent pure gold. It has the deepest, richest colour and the most weight in the hand. It is also the softest of the three, so it marks a little more readily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eYellow gold is gold alloyed with silver and copper. Rose gold takes more copper, which gives the warm pink tone. White gold is alloyed with palladium or nickel and finished with rhodium plating, which gives it a bright white face. Rhodium wears thin over time and wants redoing roughly every one to two years, which any jeweller can do quickly. Every gold ring is stamped with its karat mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your carat size\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is offered with 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat centre diamonds. Carat is a unit of weight, not of width, and the photographs may show a different size from the one you choose. The version you select is the one we make, and its IGI report confirms the weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is already a substantial diamond, clearly a statement stone, and still easy to wear every day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a clear step up in presence and photographs beautifully. This is where most people land when they want the ring to be the first thing anyone notices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e covers the finger generously and suits longer fingers and larger ring sizes particularly well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a red carpet diamond, the closest to the celebrity look. It is the size people ask about across a room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaboratory growing is what makes these sizes realistic. A mined diamond of the same size, colour and clarity would typically cost many times more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMade to order in our own workshop\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a family run jewellery workshop in Surat, in Gujarat, India. Surat is where roughly nine out of every ten diamonds in the world are cut and polished, and the bench skills that grew up around that trade are what this ring is built on. We do not hold finished stock. When your order comes in, a goldsmith casts your metal in your size, a setter places every stone by hand under a microscope, and the piece is polished, checked and photographed before it leaves us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking takes ten to fourteen working days for most orders. Shipping is free worldwide and fully insured, and it is normally three to seven working days once the ring has left the bench. Your IGI report travels with the ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCaring for your ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiamonds attract skin oil and hand cream, and a film of it is the single most common reason a ring looks dull. Soak the ring for ten minutes in warm water with a drop of washing up liquid, brush gently behind and underneath the stone with a soft toothbrush, rinse and pat dry with a lint free cloth. Once a fortnight is plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiamond is hard but not unbreakable, and a sharp knock on the edge of the stone can chip it. Take the ring off before the gym, gardening, swimming pools and hot tubs, and before using bleach or oven cleaner. Chlorine attacks the alloys in gold over time and does nothing good to sterling silver. Store it on its own, because diamond will scratch other jewellery. Have the claws or setting checked by a jeweller once a year. White gold will want its rhodium refreshed every one to two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions people ask about this ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same ring Hailey Bieber wears?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This is our own ring, made in our workshop and inspired by a style Hailey Bieber has been publicly photographed wearing. It is set with an IGI certified laboratory grown diamond, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Hailey Bieber.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is an elongated oval?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn oval with a longer length to width ratio than usual. It looks larger for its weight and makes the finger look longer and slimmer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill a wedding band sit flush against this ring?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plain band and gallery rail sit low, so most straight and curved wedding bands stack neatly beside it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan this ring be resized?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The band is plain all the way round, so resizing is simple.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a laboratory grown diamond a real diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. It has the same chemical composition, crystal structure, hardness and sparkle as a mined diamond, and it is graded by the same laboratories on the same scales. The only difference is that it was grown in a controlled facility rather than formed underground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the ring come with a certificate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Every centre diamond comes with its own IGI report at no extra charge. It records the carat weight, E-F colour, VS1 clarity, measurements and the fact that the stone is laboratory grown, and the report number can be verified on the IGI website.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat colour and clarity is the diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre diamonds are E-F colour, at the top of the colourless range, and VS1 clarity, which means any inclusions are minor and invisible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill a jeweller be able to tell it is laboratory grown?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot by looking, and not with a standard diamond tester, which reads it as diamond. Identifying the growth method needs specialist laboratory equipment. The IGI report states openly that the stone is laboratory grown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat ring sizes can I order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe make sizes 1.5 to 13, including every half size. Choose your size at checkout. If you are unsure, measure a ring that already fits the correct finger, or ask a local jeweller to size you, and remember that fingers run slightly larger in hot weather and late in the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long will it take to arrive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery ring is made to order in our workshop in Surat. Allow ten to fourteen working days for making, plus three to seven working days for insured worldwide shipping. If you have a proposal date, tell us when you order and we will confirm whether we can meet it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the metal solid, or is it plated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is solid throughout. 925 sterling silver is 92.5 per cent pure silver, and the gold options are solid 10K, 14K or 18K alloy stamped with the karat mark. Nothing in this range is gold plated, gold filled or gold bonded. White gold carries a rhodium finish on the surface, which is standard for all white gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the wedding band included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The price is for the engagement ring alone. Wedding bands are sold separately, and we are happy to advise which of ours sits best beside this design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo you offer engraving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, and there is no charge for it. Tell us the wording when you order and we will engrave the inside of the band. Most people choose a date, a set of initials or a short phrase. Allow up to about twenty five characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is your returns policy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReturns are accepted within thirty days of delivery on an unworn ring in its original packaging with its IGI report. Because every piece is made to order, engraved rings and rings made to a non standard specification are handled case by case. Write to us and we will sort it out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2

We make that look here with an IGI certified laboratory grown diamond at its centre, in the metal and carat weight you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is designed and made by Mapple Gems and is inspired by a style Dua Lipa has been publicly photographed wearing.

It is pure crystallised carbon with exactly the same chemical composition, crystal structure, hardness and optical properties as a diamond mined from the ground. The only difference is where it formed. Since 2018 the United States Federal Trade Commission has defined a diamond by what it is, not by where it came from, so a laboratory grown diamond is simply a diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre stones in this ring are grown by chemical vapour deposition, known as CVD. A thin slice of diamond is placed in a sealed chamber, carbon rich gas is heated into a plasma, and carbon atoms settle onto the slice layer by layer until a rough diamond has grown. The rough is then cut and polished exactly as a mined diamond would be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is what that means for a ring you will wear every day:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness 10 on the Mohs scale.\u003c\/strong\u003e Diamond is the hardest natural material known.

Every centre stone in this ring comes with its own IGI report, and there is no extra charge for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe report records the shape, measurements, carat weight, colour grade and clarity grade of your diamond, together with its polish and symmetry and the fact that it is laboratory grown. The report number can be checked on the IGI website, so you can confirm independently that the stone you receive is the stone described.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre stones are graded E-F colour, which sits at the top of the colourless range on the D to Z scale, and VS1 clarity, which means very slightly included: any inclusions are minor, difficult to see even under ten times magnification and invisible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your metal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is made to order in ten metals, so the version you choose is the version we build. There is no plating over a base metal and no filled or bonded gold anywhere in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e925 sterling silver\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most affordable way to own the design. It is 92.5 per cent pure silver, bright white, and it takes a high polish. Silver is softer than gold and will pick up fine surface marks with daily wear. It can also tarnish, and a soft polishing cloth brings it straight back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 41.7 per cent pure gold.

It has the deepest, richest colour and the most weight in the hand. It is also the softest of the three, so it marks a little more readily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eYellow gold is gold alloyed with silver and copper. Rose gold takes more copper, which gives the warm pink tone. White gold is alloyed with palladium or nickel and finished with rhodium plating, which gives it a bright white face. Rhodium wears thin over time and wants redoing roughly every one to two years, which any jeweller can do quickly. Every gold ring is stamped with its karat mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your carat size\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is offered with 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat centre diamonds. Carat is a unit of weight, not of width, and the photographs may show a different size from the one you choose. The version you select is the one we make, and its IGI report confirms the weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is already a substantial diamond, clearly a statement stone, and still easy to wear every day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a clear step up in presence and photographs beautifully.

It is the size people ask about across a room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaboratory growing is what makes these sizes realistic. A mined diamond of the same size, colour and clarity would typically cost many times more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMade to order in our own workshop\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a family run jewellery workshop in Surat, in Gujarat, India. Surat is where roughly nine out of every ten diamonds in the world are cut and polished, and the bench skills that grew up around that trade are what this ring is built on. We do not hold finished stock. When your order comes in, a goldsmith casts your metal in your size, a setter places every stone by hand under a microscope, and the piece is polished, checked and photographed before it leaves us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking takes ten to fourteen working days for most orders. Shipping is free worldwide and fully insured, and it is normally three to seven working days once the ring has left the bench. Your IGI report travels with the ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCaring for your ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiamonds attract skin oil and hand cream, and a film of it is the single most common reason a ring looks dull. Soak the ring for ten minutes in warm water with a drop of washing up liquid, brush gently behind and underneath the stone with a soft toothbrush, rinse and pat dry with a lint free cloth. Once a fortnight is plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiamond is hard but not unbreakable, and a sharp knock on the edge of the stone can chip it. Take the ring off before the gym, gardening, swimming pools and hot tubs, and before using bleach or oven cleaner. Chlorine attacks the alloys in gold over time and does nothing good to sterling silver. Store it on its own, because diamond will scratch other jewellery. Have the claws or setting checked by a jeweller once a year. White gold will want its rhodium refreshed every one to two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions people ask about this ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same ring Dua Lipa wears?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This is our own ring, made in our workshop and inspired by a style Dua Lipa has been publicly photographed wearing. It is set with an IGI certified laboratory grown diamond, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Dua Lipa.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a wide dome band comfortable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The inside is smoothly rounded, so it slips on easily and sits comfortably. Wide bands can feel a little snug, so if you are between sizes, choose the larger one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a half bezel secure?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVery. The metal holds the stone on two sides and the stone sits low in the band, so there is little to catch or knock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan this ring be resized?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, although a wide band takes a little more work. We recommend having it resized by us or by an experienced jeweller.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a laboratory grown diamond a real diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. It has the same chemical composition, crystal structure, hardness and sparkle as a mined diamond, and it is graded by the same laboratories on the same scales. The only difference is that it was grown in a controlled facility rather than formed underground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the ring come with a certificate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Every centre diamond comes with its own IGI report at no extra charge. It records the carat weight, E-F colour, VS1 clarity, measurements and the fact that the stone is laboratory grown, and the report number can be verified on the IGI website.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat colour and clarity is the diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre diamonds are E-F colour, at the top of the colourless range, and VS1 clarity, which means any inclusions are minor and invisible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill a jeweller be able to tell it is laboratory grown?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot by looking, and not with a standard diamond tester, which reads it as diamond. Identifying the growth method needs specialist laboratory equipment. The IGI report states openly that the stone is laboratory grown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat ring sizes can I order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe make sizes 1.5 to 13, including every half size. Choose your size at checkout. If you are unsure, measure a ring that already fits the correct finger, or ask a local jeweller to size you, and remember that fingers run slightly larger in hot weather and late in the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long will it take to arrive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery ring is made to order in our workshop in Surat. Allow ten to fourteen working days for making, plus three to seven working days for insured worldwide shipping.

It is pure crystallised carbon with exactly the same chemical composition, crystal structure, hardness and optical properties as a diamond mined from the ground. The only difference is where it formed. Since 2018 the United States Federal Trade Commission has defined a diamond by what it is, not by where it came from, so a laboratory grown diamond is simply a diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre stones in this ring are grown by chemical vapour deposition, known as CVD. A thin slice of diamond is placed in a sealed chamber, carbon rich gas is heated into a plasma, and carbon atoms settle onto the slice layer by layer until a rough diamond has grown. The rough is then cut and polished exactly as a mined diamond would be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is what that means for a ring you will wear every day:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness 10 on the Mohs scale.\u003c\/strong\u003e Diamond is the hardest natural material known.

Every centre stone in this ring comes with its own IGI report, and there is no extra charge for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe report records the shape, measurements, carat weight, colour grade and clarity grade of your diamond, together with its polish and symmetry and the fact that it is laboratory grown. The report number can be checked on the IGI website, so you can confirm independently that the stone you receive is the stone described.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre stones are graded E-F colour, which sits at the top of the colourless range on the D to Z scale, and VS1 clarity, which means very slightly included: any inclusions are minor, difficult to see even under ten times magnification and invisible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your metal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is made to order in ten metals, so the version you choose is the version we build. There is no plating over a base metal and no filled or bonded gold anywhere in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e925 sterling silver\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most affordable way to own the design. It is 92.5 per cent pure silver, bright white, and it takes a high polish. Silver is softer than gold and will pick up fine surface marks with daily wear. It can also tarnish, and a soft polishing cloth brings it straight back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 41.7 per cent pure gold.

It has the deepest, richest colour and the most weight in the hand. It is also the softest of the three, so it marks a little more readily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eYellow gold is gold alloyed with silver and copper. Rose gold takes more copper, which gives the warm pink tone. White gold is alloyed with palladium or nickel and finished with rhodium plating, which gives it a bright white face. Rhodium wears thin over time and wants redoing roughly every one to two years, which any jeweller can do quickly. Every gold ring is stamped with its karat mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your carat size\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is offered with 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat centre diamonds. Carat is a unit of weight, not of width, and the photographs may show a different size from the one you choose. The version you select is the one we make, and its IGI report confirms the weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is already a substantial diamond, clearly a statement stone, and still easy to wear every day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a clear step up in presence and photographs beautifully.

It is the size people ask about across a room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaboratory growing is what makes these sizes realistic. A mined diamond of the same size, colour and clarity would typically cost many times more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMade to order in our own workshop\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a family run jewellery workshop in Surat, in Gujarat, India. Surat is where roughly nine out of every ten diamonds in the world are cut and polished, and the bench skills that grew up around that trade are what this ring is built on. We do not hold finished stock. When your order comes in, a goldsmith casts your metal in your size, a setter places every stone by hand under a microscope, and the piece is polished, checked and photographed before it leaves us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking takes ten to fourteen working days for most orders. Shipping is free worldwide and fully insured, and it is normally three to seven working days once the ring has left the bench. Your IGI report travels with the ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCaring for your ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiamonds attract skin oil and hand cream, and a film of it is the single most common reason a ring looks dull. Soak the ring for ten minutes in warm water with a drop of washing up liquid, brush gently behind and underneath the stone with a soft toothbrush, rinse and pat dry with a lint free cloth. Once a fortnight is plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiamond is hard but not unbreakable, and a sharp knock on the edge of the stone can chip it. Take the ring off before the gym, gardening, swimming pools and hot tubs, and before using bleach or oven cleaner. Chlorine attacks the alloys in gold over time and does nothing good to sterling silver. Store it on its own, because diamond will scratch other jewellery. Have the claws or setting checked by a jeweller once a year. White gold will want its rhodium refreshed every one to two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions people ask about this ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same ring Selena Gomez wears?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This is our own ring, made in our workshop and inspired by a style Selena Gomez has been publicly photographed wearing.

Its long outline gives it one of the largest face up areas of any shape for its carat weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy six claws?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA claw at each point protects the tips, which are the most delicate parts of a marquise, and two claws on each side hold the stone securely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan this ring be resized?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnly a little. Because the band is set with stones, resizing is limited, so please measure carefully before ordering. Contact us if you need a change and we will tell you what is possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a laboratory grown diamond a real diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. It has the same chemical composition, crystal structure, hardness and sparkle as a mined diamond, and it is graded by the same laboratories on the same scales. The only difference is that it was grown in a controlled facility rather than formed underground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the ring come with a certificate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Every centre diamond comes with its own IGI report at no extra charge. It records the carat weight, E-F colour, VS1 clarity, measurements and the fact that the stone is laboratory grown, and the report number can be verified on the IGI website.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat colour and clarity is the diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre diamonds are E-F colour, at the top of the colourless range, and VS1 clarity, which means any inclusions are minor and invisible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill a jeweller be able to tell it is laboratory grown?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot by looking, and not with a standard diamond tester, which reads it as diamond. Identifying the growth method needs specialist laboratory equipment. The IGI report states openly that the stone is laboratory grown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat ring sizes can I order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe make sizes 1.5 to 13, including every half size. Choose your size at checkout. If you are unsure, measure a ring that already fits the correct finger, or ask a local jeweller to size you, and remember that fingers run slightly larger in hot weather and late in the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long will it take to arrive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery ring is made to order in our workshop in Surat. Allow ten to fourteen working days for making, plus three to seven working days for insured worldwide shipping. If you have a proposal date, tell us when you order and we will confirm whether we can meet it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the metal solid, or is it plated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is solid throughout. 925 sterling silver is 92.5 per cent pure silver, and the gold options are solid 10K, 14K or 18K alloy stamped with the karat mark. Nothing in this range is gold plated, gold filled or gold bonded. White gold carries a rhodium finish on the surface, which is standard for all white gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the wedding band included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The price is for the engagement ring alone. Wedding bands are sold separately, and we are happy to advise which of ours sits best beside this design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo you offer engraving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, and there is no charge for it. Tell us the wording when you order and we will engrave the inside of the band. Most people choose a date, a set of initials or a short phrase. Allow up to about twenty five characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is your returns policy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReturns are accepted within thirty days of delivery on an unworn ring in its original packaging with its IGI report. Because every piece is made to order, engraved rings and rings made to a non standard specification are handled case by case. Write to us and we will sort it out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2

It is pure crystallised carbon with exactly the same chemical composition, crystal structure, hardness and optical properties as a diamond mined from the ground. The only difference is where it formed. Since 2018 the United States Federal Trade Commission has defined a diamond by what it is, not by where it came from, so a laboratory grown diamond is simply a diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre stones in this ring are grown by chemical vapour deposition, known as CVD. A thin slice of diamond is placed in a sealed chamber, carbon rich gas is heated into a plasma, and carbon atoms settle onto the slice layer by layer until a rough diamond has grown. The rough is then cut and polished exactly as a mined diamond would be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is what that means for a ring you will wear every day:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness 10 on the Mohs scale.\u003c\/strong\u003e Diamond is the hardest natural material known.

Every centre stone in this ring comes with its own IGI report, and there is no extra charge for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe report records the shape, measurements, carat weight, colour grade and clarity grade of your diamond, together with its polish and symmetry and the fact that it is laboratory grown. The report number can be checked on the IGI website, so you can confirm independently that the stone you receive is the stone described.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre stones are graded E-F colour, which sits at the top of the colourless range on the D to Z scale, and VS1 clarity, which means very slightly included: any inclusions are minor, difficult to see even under ten times magnification and invisible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your metal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is made to order in ten metals, so the version you choose is the version we build.

Rose gold takes more copper, which gives the warm pink tone. White gold is alloyed with palladium or nickel and finished with rhodium plating, which gives it a bright white face. Rhodium wears thin over time and wants redoing roughly every one to two years, which any jeweller can do quickly. Every gold ring is stamped with its karat mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your carat size\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is offered with 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat centre diamonds. Carat is a unit of weight, not of width, and the photographs may show a different size from the one you choose. The version you select is the one we make, and its IGI report confirms the weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is already a substantial diamond, clearly a statement stone, and still easy to wear every day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a clear step up in presence and photographs beautifully. This is where most people land when they want the ring to be the first thing anyone notices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e covers the finger generously and suits longer fingers and larger ring sizes particularly well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a red carpet diamond, the closest to the celebrity look. It is the size people ask about across a room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaboratory growing is what makes these sizes realistic. A mined diamond of the same size, colour and clarity would typically cost many times more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMade to order in our own workshop\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a family run jewellery workshop in Surat, in Gujarat, India. Surat is where roughly nine out of every ten diamonds in the world are cut and polished, and the bench skills that grew up around that trade are what this ring is built on. We do not hold finished stock. When your order comes in, a goldsmith casts your metal in your size, a setter places every stone by hand under a microscope, and the piece is polished, checked and photographed before it leaves us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking takes ten to fourteen working days for most orders. Shipping is free worldwide and fully insured, and it is normally three to seven working days once the ring has left the bench. Your IGI report travels with the ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCaring for your ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiamonds attract skin oil and hand cream, and a film of it is the single most common reason a ring looks dull. Soak the ring for ten minutes in warm water with a drop of washing up liquid, brush gently behind and underneath the stone with a soft toothbrush, rinse and pat dry with a lint free cloth. Once a fortnight is plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiamond is hard but not unbreakable, and a sharp knock on the edge of the stone can chip it. Take the ring off before the gym, gardening, swimming pools and hot tubs, and before using bleach or oven cleaner. Chlorine attacks the alloys in gold over time and does nothing good to sterling silver. Store it on its own, because diamond will scratch other jewellery. Have the claws or setting checked by a jeweller once a year. White gold will want its rhodium refreshed every one to two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions people ask about this ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same ring Zendaya wears?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This is our own ring, made in our workshop and inspired by a style Zendaya has been publicly photographed wearing. It is set with an IGI certified laboratory grown diamond, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Zendaya.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the ring two tone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe photographs show a white gold bezel on a yellow gold band, but your ring is made entirely in the metal you select. If you would like the two tone look, contact us before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a bezel setting good for everyday wear?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The rim protects the whole edge of the stone and there is nothing to catch on clothing or hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan this ring be resized?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The band is plain all the way round, so resizing is simple.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a laboratory grown diamond a real diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. It has the same chemical composition, crystal structure, hardness and sparkle as a mined diamond, and it is graded by the same laboratories on the same scales. The only difference is that it was grown in a controlled facility rather than formed underground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the ring come with a certificate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Every centre diamond comes with its own IGI report at no extra charge. It records the carat weight, E-F colour, VS1 clarity, measurements and the fact that the stone is laboratory grown, and the report number can be verified on the IGI website.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat colour and clarity is the diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre diamonds are E-F colour, at the top of the colourless range, and VS1 clarity, which means any inclusions are minor and invisible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill a jeweller be able to tell it is laboratory grown?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot by looking, and not with a standard diamond tester, which reads it as diamond. Identifying the growth method needs specialist laboratory equipment. The IGI report states openly that the stone is laboratory grown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat ring sizes can I order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe make sizes 1.5 to 13, including every half size. Choose your size at checkout. If you are unsure, measure a ring that already fits the correct finger, or ask a local jeweller to size you, and remember that fingers run slightly larger in hot weather and late in the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long will it take to arrive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery ring is made to order in our workshop in Surat. Allow ten to fourteen working days for making, plus three to seven working days for insured worldwide shipping. If you have a proposal date, tell us when you order and we will confirm whether we can meet it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the metal solid, or is it plated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is solid throughout. 925 sterling silver is 92.5 per cent pure silver, and the gold options are solid 10K, 14K or 18K alloy stamped with the karat mark. Nothing in this range is gold plated, gold filled or gold bonded. White gold carries a rhodium finish on the surface, which is standard for all white gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the wedding band included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The price is for the engagement ring alone. Wedding bands are sold separately, and we are happy to advise which of ours sits best beside this design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo you offer engraving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, and there is no charge for it. Tell us the wording when you order and we will engrave the inside of the band. Most people choose a date, a set of initials or a short phrase. Allow up to about twenty five characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is your returns policy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReturns are accepted within thirty days of delivery on an unworn ring in its original packaging with its IGI report. Because every piece is made to order, engraved rings and rings made to a non standard specification are handled case by case. Write to us and we will sort it out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2
