{"product_id":"east-west-oval-lab-grown-diamond-half-bezel-hidden-halo-ring","title":"East West Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Half Bezel Engagement Ring with Hidden Halo in Silver, 10K, 14K and 18K Gold","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn oval laboratory grown diamond lying across the finger, held at each end by a short rose gold bezel and left open along its long sides. Beneath it, hidden in the collar, runs a row of small pave diamonds. The band is fine and perfectly straight, so the whole ring reads as a single horizontal line with one very large stone in the middle of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentre stone: Oval brilliant laboratory grown diamond, set east west\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: Half bezel east west oval with a hidden halo, fine straight band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccent stones: Round laboratory grown diamonds in the hidden halo, 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\u003eThree ideas in one ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEast west turns the oval sideways so it spans the finger. The half bezel removes the claws and gives the stone a clean metal edge at each end. The hidden halo adds light underneath without touching the outline. Individually each of these is a current favourite. Put together they produce a ring that is unmistakably modern but still very quiet on the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the profile is so low\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is no basket, no cathedral rise and no claws sitting above the stone. The oval is held from the ends, which lets it sit almost directly on the finger. Low settings are the practical choice if you type, wear gloves, or simply dislike a ring that catches.\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. Rose gold, as photographed, is the softest and most flattering option here because the warm metal reads as a thin line either side of a very white stone. 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 two bezel ends must match the curve of your particular oval exactly, and the hidden halo is set before the centre stone goes in. 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. Turn the ring over and brush the hidden halo, which is where soap gathers unseen. Take it 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 is the diamond?\u003c\/strong\u003e Every centre stone is E colour and VVS2 clarity, on every metal and every carat weight. The hidden halo stones are matched to the same grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes east west suit short fingers?\u003c\/strong\u003e Many people find it does. A horizontal stone adds width rather than length, which can balance a shorter finger better than a long north south oval.\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 against it?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, unusually well. The band is straight and the setting is low, so a plain band sits right alongside with no gap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The shank is plain past the hidden halo.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2
