It is the most classic way to wear a cushion: a soft square centre stone, a ring of light around it, and sparkle running down the band.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentre stone: 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: Halo with pave band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccent stones: Round brilliant laboratory grown diamonds, around three quarters of a carat in total, E colour, VVS2\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\u003eThe cushion cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cushion is a square with softly rounded corners and curved sides, like a pillow, which is where its name comes from. It descends from the old mine cuts of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and has larger facets than a round brilliant, so it throws broad, chunky flashes of fire rather than fine sparkle. It is one of the most romantic diamond shapes, and it never looks sharp or severe on the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy a halo suits a cushion\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe halo follows the soft square outline of the cushion, adding roughly half a size to how large the centre stone looks. With close to three quarters of a carat of small diamonds across the halo and band, this is a ring built for maximum light: from any angle, the whole face of the ring sparkles.\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. White gold makes the halo and pave read as one continuous surface of light, while yellow and rose gold outline each small stone in warm colour. 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. The halo is built around the exact outline of your cushion, the halo and pave are set by hand under a microscope, and the ring is finished for your carat weight and finger size. 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. Brush around the halo and along the band, where soap and lotion collect, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Take it off for the gym, gardening and swimming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCustom orders\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe can change the prongs, the band or the setting of this design.

The halo and pave are matched to the same grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the halo make the cushion look bigger?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. A halo adds roughly half a size to the visible outline of the centre stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCushion or round?\u003c\/strong\u003e A round sparkles more finely. A cushion gives bigger, bolder flashes and a softer, vintage outline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill a wedding band sit flush?\u003c\/strong\u003e A straight band sits close alongside. For a completely flush fit, a slightly curved band works best with a halo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e Within limits. A plain section at the base of the band allows adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2
