Below it the shank is scalloped into milgrain edged bays, each carrying a diamond, running down toward a plain lower band.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe flare is the part of this ring that only exists in profile, and it is deliberate. A straight sided basket presents a flat wall of metal to anyone looking at the ring from the side, which on a stone this size is a considerable amount of blank gold. Splaying the walls outward opens a view into the pavilion from every side angle, so the light that enters the crown and reflects downward can be seen escaping through the sides of the stone rather than being stopped by the setting. It changes what the ring does when the hand moves: from directly above it behaves like any well made emerald cut, returning broad plates of white light, but as the hand tilts the flared basket keeps returning brightness from the lower half of the stone long after the table has gone dark. The scalloped band then repeats the same logic in miniature, each bay opening outward around its accent so no stone sits in a closed pocket.\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: emerald cut, step faceted\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 corner claws on a flared 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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlacement: one in each milgrain edged scalloped bay along the upper shank\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 narrow, scalloped along its upper half into a series of shallow bays with milgrain worked around each opening, and left plain below. Scalloping the band exposes more of each accent from the side than a flat shank would, which is why a very slim band can still read as bright.\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.

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 does a flared basket do\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt opens the sides of the setting so light can leave the pavilion of the stone at an angle. The ring stays bright as the hand tilts away from the light rather than going dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes an open basket make the ring less secure\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. The claws hold the stone; the basket sets the height and carries the claws. An open construction of the right thickness is as strong as a closed one and considerably easier to keep clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is milgrain\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA row of tiny beads raised along an edge by hand. Here it outlines each scalloped bay and hides the fine marks a raised edge collects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this ring be resized\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The lower half of the shank is plain, so resizing is done in clean metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does the ring take to make\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach ring is made to order. The basket and the milgrain are worked by hand, so production usually takes twelve to sixteen 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. In a setting that deliberately shows the sides of the stone, a high clarity grade matters more than usual because more of the diamond is on view.\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.
