The point of the pear extends past the swirl on one side, so the whole ring reads as a single flowing line that comes to a tip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentre stone: Pear cut 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: East west pear on a crossover swirl shank, one arm pave and one plain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccent stones: Round laboratory grown diamonds, 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\u003eWhy the pear is turned sideways\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet point down, a pear makes a strong vertical line and would fight the curve of a swirl shank. Turned across the finger, the stone runs in the same direction the band is already travelling. The point becomes the end of the curve rather than an interruption to it, and it sits between the knuckles where it takes fewer knocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOne plain arm, one set\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two halves of the band are deliberately unmatched. One is polished metal, the other carries a line of pave following the same sweep. Because they are different, the ring has direction: the eye travels along the bright arm, round the stone and back on the plain one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe point is guarded\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tip of a pear is the thinnest part of the stone. It sits inside a v claw that wraps around both edges of the point rather than pressing down on it, and on this setting it is further sheltered by sitting within the width of the finger rather than projecting over the shank.\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 is photographed here, and warm metal on the plain arm against colourless pave on the other is exactly the contrast the design depends on. 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 pave diamonds are matched to the same E and VVS2 grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the bow tie\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery pear has the potential for a bow tie, a dark band across the middle caused by the proportions of the cut rather than by colour or clarity. It matters more on an east west setting, because the bow tie runs the same way as the finger and is in plain view. No certificate grades it. We check every pear by eye and reject the ones that show it.\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 crossover is formed to your finger size so the arms meet at the right point beneath the stone, which cannot be adjusted afterwards. 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. Work the brush into the crossing point under the stone and along the pave arm. 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 pave stones are matched to the same grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the carat weight include the pave?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat options refer to the centre pear. The pave is in addition.\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 No, not flat. The crossover puts the shank at a different height on each side, so this ring is designed to be worn alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e Only slightly, since resizing changes where the two arms cross. Please measure carefully and we will build to your size.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2
