Three accents on each side, set close enough to touch, then nothing: the band runs away plain and thin from there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentre stone: Elongated cushion cut laboratory grown diamond\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: Claw set with clustered round accents at the shoulders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide 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\u003eClusters, not rows\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccents laid in a line along the shoulders make a band look like pave that stopped early. Grouped into a tight triangle against the centre stone they do something different: they widen the head of the ring and then get out of the way, so the shank stays completely plain from the cluster back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy it widens rather than lengthens\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe clusters sit beside the cushion rather than above or below it, so they add width where the finger is widest. An elongated cushion already has length. The result is a ring that fills the finger from edge to edge without the stone needing to be any larger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe cushion in the middle\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rectangle with its corners and sides rounded, cut long rather than square. Its facets are large and soft, so it flashes slowly while the small rounds beside it sparkle quickly. That difference in speed is what keeps the eye moving across the ring.\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. This ring was photographed in yellow gold, but every metal is made to order and priced above. 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 accent diamonds are matched to the same E and VVS2 grade.\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. Each cluster is laid out against the measured centre stone, since how far the triangle reaches depends on the width of the cushion, and the accents are set last so they sit tight to the claws without crowding them. 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, working the brush into each cluster from underneath. A tight group of small stones holds more hand cream than a plain shoulder does. 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 are the diamonds?\u003c\/strong\u003e The centre cushion and every accent are E colour and VVS2 clarity, on all metals and all carat weights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the carat weight include the accents?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat options refer to the centre cushion. The clustered rounds are in addition and are scaled to suit it.\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?\u003c\/strong\u003e Close, and closer than with full length pave, because the clusters stop well before the back of the ring. A slightly shaped band tucks under them neatly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, at the back where the band is plain. One or two sizes either way is straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I have a different centre shape?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. These clusters suit an oval or a radiant just as well.
