It is the setting for someone who wants the flush, snag free character of a bezel without fully framing the diamond. The metal covers the parts of the girdle most likely to take a knock, while the open sides let light enter from the edges, which matters on a cushion because the cut relies on light entering from many directions to produce its warm, candlelit sparkle. Every diamond is a laboratory grown diamond, identical in carbon structure, hardness and brilliance to a mined diamond, graded E colour and VVS2 clarity. Each ring is made to order in our own Surat workshop and ships with a free IGI certificate for the centre stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCenter stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone type: Lab Grown Diamond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape and cut: Cushion cut, squared outline with rounded corners and brilliant faceting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarat weight: 2 Carat, 3 Carat, 4 Carat or 5 Carat, selected above\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor grade: E, colorless range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarity grade: VVS2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLuster: Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake and polish: Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertification: Free IGI certificate for the centre stone, included with every order at no extra charge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSide stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone type: None, this is a true solitaire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape and cut: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor grade: Not applicable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarity grade: Not applicable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLuster: Not applicable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake and polish: Not applicable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting style: Half bezel gripping two opposite sides of the centre stone with the remaining sides open, on a plain polished shank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMetal options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is made to order in ten metal choices, so you can match it to jewellery you already wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e925 Sterling Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10K Yellow Gold, 10K Rose Gold, 10K White Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14K Yellow Gold, 14K Rose Gold, 14K White Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18K Yellow Gold, 18K Rose Gold, 18K White Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll gold options are solid gold, never plated or filled.

It gives most of the protection and the low, flush look of a full bezel while showing more of the diamond and letting more light in from the open sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat is a cushion cut\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cushion cut is a square or rectangular stone with rounded corners, named because the outline resembles a pillow. Its facets are larger and more open than those of a modern round brilliant, which gives it a softer, warmer sparkle often described as candlelit rather than icy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIs a lab grown diamond a real diamond\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. A lab grown diamond is real diamond. It has the same carbon crystal structure, the same hardness of 10 on the Mohs scale, the same refractive index and the same fire and brilliance as a mined diamond. The only difference is that it was grown in a controlled laboratory over a few weeks instead of underground over billions of years. No jeweller can tell the difference by eye, only specialist equipment reading growth patterns can separate the two.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIs a half bezel as secure as a full bezel\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlmost. A full bezel is the most secure setting there is because nothing is exposed. A half bezel covers the sides where a stone is most likely to be struck and leaves only the remaining edges open. In practice it is considerably more secure than prongs and needs less maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAre cushion cut diamonds durable\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eVery. The rounded corners of a cushion are its strongest feature, because there are no sharp points to chip, which is the main vulnerability of shapes like the princess or marquise. Combined with a half bezel over the sides, this is one of the more forgiving designs for daily wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDoes this ring come with a certificate\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Every ring ships with a free IGI certificate for the centre stone. IGI is the International Gemological Institute, one of the largest independent diamond grading laboratories in the world. The certificate confirms the carat weight, the E colour grade, the VVS2 clarity grade and the laboratory grown origin. There is no extra charge for the certificate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat does E colour VVS2 actually mean\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eE colour is the second highest grade on the diamond colour scale and sits inside the colourless range, so the diamond looks bright white with no warm or yellow tint. VVS2 means very very slightly included, the second highest clarity tier. Any inclusions are so small that a trained grader needs 10x magnification to find them and they are completely invisible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy a lab grown diamond\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA lab grown diamond gives you a materially identical stone for a fraction of the price of a mined equivalent, which is what makes a 4 carat or 5 carat cushion centre realistic on a normal budget. That matters more here than on most designs, because a solitaire has nowhere to hide, the size and quality of the single stone is the whole ring. Because the origin of every stone is documented from the moment it is grown, a lab grown diamond is conflict free by definition. Growing a diamond also avoids the open pit excavation, land disruption and water use that mining a comparable stone requires.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur services\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree IGI certificate for the centre stone on every order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping worldwide with tracking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade to order in any US ring size from 3 to 13 including half sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree resizing assistance and 30 day returns and exchanges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom design service for changes to stone shape, setting, band width and engraving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime cleaning and maintenance guidance for your ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Mapple Gems\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a made to order fine jewellery workshop based in Surat, India, the city that cuts and polishes the majority of the world's diamonds.
