Nothing sits on top of the stone and nothing crosses its corners: the table is entirely open and the outline is uninterrupted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentre stone: Emerald 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: Bar set along both long edges, on a thin round band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccent stones: None\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\u003eHeld along the edges, not at the corners\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eClaws grip four small points. These walls hold the full length of both long sides, which spreads the pressure, covers nothing of the table, and repeats the straight lines of the step cut instead of interrupting them. On a rectangular stone it is both the cleaner and the stronger solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSet east west\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTurned across the finger rather than along it, the emerald cut spans the hand and sits low. It looks wider, it does not catch on a sleeve, and it reads as quietly modern rather than formal. The same stone set upright is a completely different ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the grade matters on this shape\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA step cut is rows of long parallel facets, a large open table and a clear view straight into the stone. There is no brilliant faceting to hide behind, which is why we set only E colour, VVS2 diamonds here. At a lower grade you would see it without a loupe.\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, where the walls read strongly against the stone. In white metal they recede and the diamond appears to float. 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. With no accents anywhere, that report describes the whole ring.\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 two walls are cut and fitted to the measured stone so it sits square between them with no gap at either end, and the band is polished as one continuous surface. Allow two to three weeks for making, plus shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the photographs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome photographs show this ring with stacking bands or worn alongside other rings. Those pieces are separate and are not included. The ring box shown is our standard packaging and comes with every order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLooking after it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWarm water, mild washing up liquid and a soft toothbrush, brushing under the stone between the two walls. An open table shows dust faster than a brilliant does, so clean this one weekly. An emerald cut has open corners, so avoid knocking it against hard edges. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a bar setting secure?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, and on a rectangular stone more secure than corner claws, because the metal runs the full length of two edges rather than gripping four points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the certificate really free?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The IGI report is included in the price on every variant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill a wedding band sit flush?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The band is plain and round and the stone sits above it, so a straight band meets it cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, at the back. One or two sizes either way is straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I have it set north south instead?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, at the same price.
