The baguettes stand upright rather than lying along the finger, which is a period detail, and the fine beaded edging around each one is worked by hand.\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 bezel set baguette shoulders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide stones: Baguette cut laboratory grown diamonds, E colour, VVS2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBand: Milgrained and fluted shoulders on a plain shank\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\u003eBaguettes stood upright\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost side baguettes are laid lengthways along the shank, which makes the ring look longer. These are turned across it, framed in their own small bezels, so they read as two panels flanking the centre stone rather than as a continuation of the band. It is the arrangement you see on nineteen thirties rings, and it gives the ring a squared, architectural front.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe milgrain\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach baguette bezel is edged with milgrain, a line of tiny beads raised from the metal with a knurling wheel. It softens the hard edge of the bezel and catches light in a fine dotted line. Machine cast milgrain looks blurred; ours is worked after casting, which is why the beads are distinct.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCushion in the middle, step cuts either side\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cushion cut has curved sides and large facets that throw broad flashes of fire. The baguettes beside it are step cuts, flat and glassy, with no sparkle at all. The contrast is deliberate. The still panels on the shoulders make the movement in the centre stone more obvious than it would be between two brilliants.\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 ring was photographed in white metal, which is closest to the platinum the original period pieces were made in, 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. Both baguettes are matched to the same E and VVS2 grade, which matters more on a step cut than on a brilliant because there is no sparkle to disguise tint.\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. Each baguette bezel is built around the individual stone so the metal sits tight against all four edges, and the milgrain is run afterwards with a knurling wheel by hand. 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. Milgrain collects grime in the gaps between the beads and goes grey if it is left, so brush along the edging rather than just across it. 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 and both baguettes 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 baguettes?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat options refer to the centre cushion. The two baguettes are in addition and are cut in proportion to whichever centre you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this an antique ring?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. It is a new ring made to a nineteen thirties design, with a new laboratory grown diamond and a current certificate.\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 Yes, close to it. The baguette bezels sit low and level with the shank, so a straight band meets the ring cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, at the back where the shank is plain. One or two sizes either way is straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2
