No claws, no accents, no shoulders. The whole ring is one stone and one line of metal, and it sits close enough to the finger that you forget it is there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentre stone: Elongated cushion cut laboratory grown diamond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarat options: 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour and clarity: E colour, VVS2 clarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertificate: IGI, included free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting: Full bezel elongated cushion on a slim rounded band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccent stones: None, this is a true solitaire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetals: 925 silver, 10K, 14K and 18K gold in yellow, rose and white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade: To order in Surat, India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy elongated\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA square cushion reads as a soft square. Stretch the outline and it becomes a long rounded rectangle instead, which lies along the finger and lengthens the hand. It also gives a bigger face up size for the same carat weight, because less of the stone is buried in depth. If you like cushions but find the square version a little stocky, this is the proportion to look at.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe bezel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe collar of metal is raised around the stone and then burnished down over the girdle, the thin edge where the crown meets the pavilion and the part that chips. Because a cushion has curved sides and rounded corners, the bezel is one unbroken curve with no straight runs, which is considerably harder to make than a bezel around a round or an emerald cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho it suits\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNothing stands proud of the surface. No claw tips to catch on a jumper, no gallery to snag, no pave to work loose. If you type all day, wear gloves, garden, or have small children, this is the shape that survives it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat laboratory grown means here\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA laboratory grown diamond is a diamond. It is crystallised carbon with the same cubic structure, the same 10 on the Mohs scale, the same refractive index of 2.42 and the same dispersion as a mined stone. Ours are grown by chemical vapour deposition and high pressure high temperature methods, then cut and polished by hand. This is not moissanite, not cubic zirconia and not a simulant. A gemmologist testing it will read diamond, because it is diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMetals\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K or 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. With no accent stones the metal is half the design, so pick the colour you actually wear. Rose and yellow gold, as photographed, warm the stone. Silver and white gold let it read icy. 10K is the hardest alloy, 14K is the everyday balance, and 18K is the richest colour but the softest metal. White gold is rhodium plated and will want replating every one to two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEvery centre stone arrives IGI certified\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre diamond is graded by IGI, the International Gemological Institute, and the certificate comes with the ring at no extra charge. It states the carat weight, the E colour grade, the VVS2 clarity grade, the measurements and the girdle inscription, and confirms in writing that the stone is laboratory grown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMade to order in our own workshop\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a family run workshop in Surat, India, where most of the world's diamonds are cut and polished. Every bezel is formed around its own stone, so it fits that cushion and no other. Allow two to three weeks for making, plus shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLooking after it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWarm water, mild washing up liquid and a soft toothbrush. Run the brush around the seam where the bezel meets the stone. There is very little else to clean. Take it off for the gym, gardening and swimming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions we are asked\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat colour and clarity is the diamond?\u003c\/strong\u003e Every centre stone is E colour and VVS2 clarity, on every metal and every carat weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes a bezel make the diamond look smaller?\u003c\/strong\u003e It covers the very edge of the girdle, so it reads slightly smaller than the same stone in claws. The elongated outline more than makes up for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the certificate really free?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The IGI report for the centre stone is included in the price on every variant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill a wedding band sit flush against it?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, unusually well. The setting is low and the shank is straight, so a plain band sits right against it with no gap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, easily. The band carries no stones at all.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2
