From above the outline stays a clean rounded square with nothing around it. From the side the hidden halo shows as a line of light under the stone, sitting above a second line on 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: Four claw centre with a hidden halo in the basket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccent stones: Round brilliant laboratory grown diamonds in the hidden halo and pave band, E colour, VVS2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBand: Pave set shoulders, plain at the back\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\u003eA halo you do not see from above\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA conventional halo surrounds the stone on the top face and changes its outline. A hidden halo sits below the girdle, inside the basket, so the view from above is the cushion alone. On a cushion that matters, because the shape is soft and rounded and a visible halo tends to square it off. Keeping the halo underneath preserves the outline and still gets the extra light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy it brightens the centre\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLight entering the pavilion from below bounces off the halo stones and back up through the table. A cushion has a deep pavilion and benefits from this more than a shallow cut does, so the stone reads noticeably brighter than the same cushion over a solid basket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePave that stops halfway\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shoulder stones run about halfway down each side and then the band goes plain. Stones set under the finger take the abrasion, wear loose first and make the ring impossible to size without cutting through set metal. Stopping the pave where it does keeps the sparkle where you see it and leaves solid metal at the back.\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. This design is photographed in white metal, yellow gold and rose gold, and every metal is made to order and priced above. 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. The halo and pave accents are matched to the same E and VVS2 grade, which matters here because light from the hidden halo passes up through the centre stone.\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 hidden halo goes into the basket before the head is joined to the shank, since it cannot be reached afterwards, and the pave is bead set by hand with both shoulders matched before the band is closed. 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, brushing upward into the basket from underneath as well as along the pave. A hidden halo collects hand cream where you cannot see it, and when it is dirty the centre stone goes dull for no apparent reason. Take the ring 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 are the diamonds?\u003c\/strong\u003e The centre cushion, the hidden halo and all the pave are E colour and VVS2 clarity, on all metals and all carat weights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the carat weight include the halo and pave?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat options refer to the centre cushion. Everything else is in addition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan you see the hidden halo when wearing it?\u003c\/strong\u003e Not from directly above. You see it from the side and at an angle, and so does anyone looking at your hand across a table.\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?\u003c\/strong\u003e Almost. The hidden halo lifts the stone slightly, so a straight band leaves a very small gap. A contoured band closes it, and we make those to match.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, at the back where the band is plain. One or two sizes either way is straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2
