A larger round sits nearest the head, then a smaller one, then a larger again, and the sequence continues down each shoulder before the band closes into plain metal. Each stone is claw set individually rather than packed into a channel, and the short run of polished gold between them is what gives the design its rhythm. It reads as a row of separate diamonds, not a strip of pave, which suits a step cut centre far better because it does not create a continuous field of sparkle that competes with the slow flashes of the emerald cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll of it sits low. The accents are set level with the girdle of the centre stone, the claws are drawn down flat, and the band is slim enough that the ring keeps a delicate outline even at four or five carats. Above them the emerald cut is completely unadorned, no halo and nothing around the girdle, so the sharp rectangle of the outline stays exactly that.\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, rectangular step cut with cropped corners\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 ball tipped claws, set north to south\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAccent stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound brilliant lab grown diamonds alternating large and small along both shoulders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach stone claw set individually with polished metal between\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet low and level with the girdle of the centre stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlain polished metal from the last accent to the back of the shank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eE to F colour, VS clarity, matched left to right\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal accent weight approximately 0.45 carat, scaled to the centre stone you choose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBand details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA slim rounded shank carrying the alternating accents along both shoulders and closing into plain polished metal at the back.

It has the same carbon crystal structure, the same hardness of 10 on the Mohs scale and the same optical behaviour as a mined diamond, and it is graded on the same scales by the same laboratories.\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\u003eWhy alternate large and small accents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEven sized stones read as a row. Alternating the size gives the shoulder a rhythm and makes each diamond read as its own stone rather than as part of a strip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy not use pave instead\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePave creates a continuous field of fast sparkle, which competes with the slow broad flashes of a step cut. Spacing the stones keeps the emerald cut as the quiet centre of the ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo emerald cuts show inclusions more than other shapes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The open step facets hide far less than a brilliant does, which is why we use VVS2 clarity for the centre stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill a wedding band sit flush\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The head sits low on a straight shank and a plain band meets it cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this ring be resized\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, using the plain section at the back of the shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is this different from your other spaced accent rings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe other spaced design alternates marquise with round and adds a hidden halo. This one uses rounds only, alternating in size, with no halo under the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy a lab grown diamond\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccents set on their own with metal between are each looked at individually, so every one has to hold the same colour. Lab grown material makes a fully matched run straightforward, so an E colour VVS2 emerald cut of two to five carats sits above matched accents, in fully hallmarked metal, with a traceable origin and no mining.\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.
