This is a ring built around one question, which is whether a large diamond can be worn every single day without being taken off, and the answer here is height.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost engagement rings raise the stone on a tall basket so light can enter from beneath. That looks impressive and catches on gloves, sleeves, hair and door handles. Dropping the head as low as it will go loses a small amount of that under light and gains a ring that never snags and never rotates on the finger. For anyone who works with their hands, that trade is worth making.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCenter stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: Cushion cut, softly rounded corners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone type: Lab grown diamond, IGI certified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarat weight: 2, 3, 4 or 5 carat, selected at checkout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor grade: E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarity grade: VVS2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut and polish: Excellent make, excellent luster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting: Four short claw prongs on a low open basket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertification: IGI certificate of the center stone is included at no extra charge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBand details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shank is a fine plain band that meets the basket almost straight on, with no cathedral rise and no shaping. It carries no stones, so it sits flat, resizes easily and takes an engraving inside cleanly. The low head also means the ring stays balanced and does not spin round on a slim finger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMetal options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose from 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K and 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. Rose gold gives the cushion a warm romantic tone that suits its antique character. Yellow gold reads more traditional. White gold and sterling silver keep the stone icy and let the short claws recede. Every metal is finished by hand in our workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRing size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is available in a full range of US sizes. Select your size at checkout.

A low profile ring is less likely to catch on clothing, less likely to be knocked, and it slides under gloves easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes a low setting reduce sparkle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSlightly less light enters from underneath than with a high cathedral basket, but the pavilion is still left open so light passes through the stone. Most people never notice the difference in ordinary daylight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does a low setting stop the ring spinning?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA tall head is top heavy, so on a slim finger the ring rotates until the stone sits underneath. Keeping the weight close to the band keeps it balanced and facing upward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does a cushion cut sparkle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts larger facets give broad slow flashes of light rather than fine rapid scintillation. Many people describe the effect as candlelight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a lab grown diamond a real diamond?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. A lab grown diamond has the same carbon crystal structure, hardness, refractive index and fire as a mined diamond. The only difference is that it was grown in a controlled environment rather than pulled from the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill I receive a certificate?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. An IGI certificate for the center stone is included with every order at no additional cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich metal is best for daily wear?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e14K and 18K gold are the most durable choices for a ring worn every day. 10K is harder still. Sterling silver is softer and suits gentler wear or a first ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy a lab grown diamond\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA lab grown diamond gives you the same optical and physical properties as a mined stone at a far better price for the size and quality. Because the growth conditions are controlled, high color and high clarity stones like the E VVS2 used here are available in large carat weights that would be rare and costly in mined goods. It is also a traceable choice, with a known origin and no mining footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur services\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIGI certificate of the center stone included free with every ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade to order in the metal, carat weight and size you choose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull range of US ring sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom design and matching wedding bands on request\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand finishing and quality inspection before dispatch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecure insured worldwide shipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Mapple Gems\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a fine jewelry maker based in Surat, India, a city that has cut and polished diamonds for generations.
