The pears are large, not token accents, so the three stones together cover a considerable span. Everything is claw set and the band is left plain, which keeps the attention entirely on the diamonds.\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 elongated cushion with one pear cut diamond on each side, plain band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccent stones: Pear cut 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 pears against a cushion\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cushion is soft and rounded on every side. A pear has one rounded shoulder and one point, so set with the point outward it carries the curve of the cushion outwards and then finishes it cleanly. The transition is seamless in a way a round or a baguette side stone never manages. The pears also add length, which is what stops a cushion centre looking stocky.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eScaled, not token\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn many three stone rings the sides are small enough to read as decoration. Here they are cut in proper proportion to the centre, so the ring reads as three real diamonds. At 4 and 5 carat the span across the finger becomes genuinely dramatic.\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. Yellow gold is photographed here and is the traditional choice for a trilogy. 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. Matching a pair of pears to an individual cushion is a sorting job as much as a setting job, and it is done by eye at the bench. 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 two junctions where the pears meet the centre setting. 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 pear side stones are matched to the same grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the pear points protected?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. Each point sits inside a v shaped claw, which is the only reliable way to guard the tip of a pear cut from chipping.\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 The side stones sit above band height, so a straight band tucks underneath them. A gently curved band closes the gap completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The band carries no stones at all, so it is straightforward to size up or down.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2
