From directly above there is nothing but a long rectangle of diamond and a bare shank. Tip the hand and a bright line appears underneath the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn east west emerald cut is the one orientation where a concealed halo earns its place twice over. Turned sideways, the length of the stone runs across the finger, which means the long side of the basket faces the viewer whenever the hand is held at an angle rather than being tucked away as it is on a north to south setting. That side is normally the largest area of plain metal on the whole ring. Filling it with pave means the part of the setting most often in view is the brightest part of it, and the stone itself is left entirely unframed from above.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCenter stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: Emerald cut, rectangular step cut with cropped 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 claws holding the stone east to west across the finger\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\u003eAccent stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConcealed halo of round brilliant lab grown diamonds pave set around the basket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollows the rectangular outline of the emerald cut rather than sitting in a circle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVisible in profile and from an angle, not from directly above\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatched to the center stone in color and clarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBand details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shank is a smooth polished band of even width, carrying no stones. It meets the underside of the basket directly and sits close against the finger, which keeps a large east west stone from feeling top heavy.\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. Yellow gold is shown here, and against warm metal the concealed halo reads as a distinct white line the moment the hand moves. Rose gold gives the same effect more softly. White gold and sterling silver make halo and setting merge into one pale structure so only the outline of the stone registers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRing size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is available in a full range of US sizes.

A rectangular cut set this way looks wider, sits flatter and gives the ring a modern line that a north to south setting does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy put a concealed halo on an east west ring?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause turning the stone sideways brings the long face of the basket into view. Setting pave there puts light exactly where the ring would otherwise show its largest area of bare metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does an emerald cut look so clear?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a step cut, with long parallel facets arranged like stairs rather than the many small triangular facets of a brilliant. You get broad flashes of light and an open view straight into the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes clarity matter more with an emerald cut?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Because you can see into the stone there is nowhere for inclusions to hide, which is why the centre stone here is VVS2, a grade at which nothing is visible without magnification.\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\u003eWill a wedding band sit flush against this ring?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, and better than with a north to south stone. Because the diamond runs across the finger, a straight band meets the smooth shank cleanly on both sides.\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.
