There is no halo, no pave, no accent stone and no decoration of any kind. The entire design is one rectangle of light lying across the finger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRotating the stone is what separates this from an ordinary solitaire. Set lengthwise a rectangular diamond points up the finger and reads as formal. Set sideways it spans the finger, which looks calmer, wider and considerably more modern. It is the choice people make when they want a big stone without the ring announcing itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCenter stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: Radiant cut, rectangular outline with cropped corners, set east to west\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 low flat claws holding the long edges, no visible basket from above\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 slim plain band with a smooth polished face and no stones anywhere along it. It meets the head straight on, which keeps the stone sitting close to the finger. A plain shank is also the easiest kind to resize, to engrave and to pair with any wedding band you choose later.\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 long rectangle a soft warm edge that suits the horizontal line. Yellow gold makes it read richer and more classical. White gold and sterling silver make the claws disappear so the diamond looks like it is resting directly on the skin. 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.

An east west radiant sits horizontally, which broadens the look of the hand and gives a modern, understated character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill an east west stone look smaller?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. The diamond is the same size, only rotated. Many people find it looks broader and more present because the full width faces the viewer rather than running away from them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a radiant cut diamond?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA radiant cut is a rectangular or square stone with cropped corners and a brilliant faceting pattern underneath. It gives the clean outline of an emerald cut with the fire of a round brilliant.\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\u003eDoes a plain band suit an east west stone?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is the natural pairing. Because the stone already makes a strong horizontal statement, adding pave to the shank competes with it. A plain band lets the rectangle stay the only shape on the ring.\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.
