No halo, no hidden halo, no side stones. The pave is there to give the shank a line of light and nothing more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentre stone: Emerald 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: Four claw emerald cut on a pave set band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccent 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\u003eThe case for a plain head\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn emerald cut is a large, open, transparent stone. Ringing it with small diamonds gives it something to compete with, and on a step cut that competition is never fair, because the small stones sparkle faster. Leaving the head bare and putting the accents on the shank instead means the centre stone is the only thing at the top of the ring, which is how a step cut looks best.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe pave band\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRound diamonds run down both shoulders in shared claws with very little metal between them. The band narrows slightly as it travels, which makes the finger look longer and the centre stone look larger. The pave stops before the back of the shank, leaving plain metal there for sizing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy clarity matters on an emerald cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStep cut facets are long, flat and parallel, arranged in rows down towards a large open table. They behave like mirrors rather than scattering light, which is the appeal and also the difficulty: there is nowhere for an inclusion to hide. Our centre stones are VVS2, clean under ten times magnification, and that is why we do not offer lower clarity grades on this cut.\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 and rose gold are photographed here, and a warm band under a long colourless step cut is one of the oldest and best combinations in jewellery. White gold makes the pave disappear as metal and read only as light. 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 pave 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. Every pave stone is set by hand under a microscope, and the claws are shaped to sit on the corners of your individual stone without covering any more of the table than necessary. 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. Clean the table of the centre stone often, since a step cut shows any film immediately, and work the brush along both shoulders between the pave stones.\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 pave stones are matched to the same grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the carat weight include the pave?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat options refer to the centre emerald cut. The pave is in addition.\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\u003eDoes an emerald cut sparkle less than a brilliant?\u003c\/strong\u003e It sparkles differently. A brilliant gives fast small flashes; a step cut gives long broad returns of light and dark. The pave band supplies the quick sparkle if you want both on one ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill a wedding band sit flush against it?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, very well. The head sits low and the shank is straight, so a plain or pave straight band meets it cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e Within about one size. The pave covers the shoulders and the back of the shank is left plain for exactly this reason.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2
