Seen from the side, a row of small triangles of open air runs beneath the stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat V is the difference between French pave and ordinary pave, and it is worth more than it sounds. In a standard pave setting each stone sits in a round drilled hole with metal directly beneath its pavilion, which blocks any light trying to enter from below and reflects nothing useful back. In French pave the setter cuts a V shaped channel underneath the row, removing the metal from behind the girdle entirely. Two things follow. Light can now pass through the accent from below as well as above, so each small stone behaves more like a solitaire and less like a chip embedded in gold. And the two angled walls of the V act as mirrors either side of every stone, throwing light back up through the pavilion at the same time. On a wide band carrying large accents, as here, the effect is obvious: the shank returns nearly as much light per square millimetre as the centre stone does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCenter stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone type: lab grown diamond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: elongated cushion cut\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSymmetry: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting: four claws on an open basket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAccent stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone type: lab grown diamond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: round brilliant, larger than standard melee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting: French pave, with a V shaped channel cut beneath the row so light passes through each accent from below\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor grade: E to F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarity grade: VS or better\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBand details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shank is deliberately wide, which is what allows the accents to be sized up rather than reduced to melee. The V channel runs beneath the set section and the lower half of the band is left solid and plain for strength and comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMetal options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K or 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. Every metal is fully hallmarked. White gold is shown in the photographs. For a wide band we recommend 14K or 18K gold over sterling silver, since the extra width means more metal to keep straight over years of wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRing size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ring is made to your finger size.

It is carbon in the same crystal structure as a mined diamond, with the same hardness and the same optical properties, graded on the same scales.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the ring come with a certificate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. An IGI certificate for the center stone is included at no extra charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is French pave\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePave set over a V shaped channel cut beneath the stones. Removing the metal behind each girdle lets light through from below and turns the channel walls into reflectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs French pave harder to make\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The V has to be cut accurately along the whole run before any stone is set, and a mistake cannot be filled in afterwards. It is the reason it costs more than standard pave.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes a wide band suit every hand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWide bands shorten the apparent length of a finger slightly. If you have shorter fingers and want the same setting, tell us and we will narrow the shank and scale the accents accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this ring be resized\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWithin a moderate range, working in the plain lower half of the shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does the ring take to make\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach ring is made to order. French pave is slow work, so production usually takes fourteen to eighteen working days before dispatch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy a lab grown diamond\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA lab grown diamond gives you a larger stone and a higher colour and clarity grade for the same budget, with a traceable origin and no mining. On a wide band the accent stones themselves represent real weight, so the saving applies to them as much as to the centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur services\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIGI certificate for the center stone included at no extra cost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade to order in any size in our range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree resizing within the first year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsured worldwide shipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime cleaning and polishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom design service for changes to any element of this ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Mapple Gems\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a jewellery workshop in Surat, India, the city where a large share of the world's diamonds are cut and polished.
