Rather than a single shank, the shoulders are formed from several separate strands that cross over one another and travel around the finger, some finished in plain polished metal and some fully set with round brilliant accents. Between them the setter has added leaf shapes, each pave set individually so the diamonds follow the curve of the leaf rather than sitting in a straight row. The result reads as a growing vine that happens to be studded with light, which is why it suits an emerald cut so well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn emerald cut is a step cut. Its long parallel facets give broad flashes of light rather than the rapid sparkle of a brilliant, and that calm surface needs something around it with movement. The braided vine supplies that movement without competing, because every accent stone here is small and the eye still travels straight to the table of the center diamond first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe claws are ball tipped rather than flat, a deliberate choice on a botanical design. A rounded claw tip echoes a bud and keeps the corners of the emerald cut protected, which matters because the corners of a step cut stone are the part most likely to catch on a sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCenter stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone type: lab grown diamond, chemically and optically identical to a mined diamond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: emerald cut, step cut faceting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarat options: 2 carat, 3 carat, 4 carat and 5 carat\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\u003eSetting: four ball tipped claws with protected corners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertification: IGI certificate for the center stone, included at no extra cost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAccent stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound brilliant cut lab grown diamonds throughout the braided strands and leaf forms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccents graded F to G color, VS clarity or better\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBead and micro pave setting, each accent set by hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccents run over the top of the shoulders, along the outer strands and around the leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccent weight varies with ring size and center carat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBand details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMultiple strands braid over one another from the center stone down through the shoulders and taper to a comfortable rounded shank at the base of the finger, so the ring is wide and sculptural at the top and easy to wear underneath. The inside of the shank is polished smooth and lightly domed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMetal options\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K or 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. Every metal is fully hallmarked. White gold is finished with rhodium for a bright cool white. Yellow gold suits this design particularly well because the plain polished strands read clearly against the pave.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRing size\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery ring is made to order in your size. Select your size at checkout. If you are not sure of your size, order anyway and contact us, and we will help you confirm it before the ring goes into production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCustom orders\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can change the center carat weight, the color and clarity grade, the number of braided strands or the metal.

A lab grown diamond is real diamond. 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. The only difference is where it was grown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\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\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many diamonds are in the band\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe count depends on your finger size and the carat you choose, because a larger center stone needs longer shoulders. A typical size 6 ring in this design carries well over one hundred accent diamonds across the braided strands and leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the pave stones fall out\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach accent sits in its own bead of metal raised from the surface by hand. That is a mechanical hold, not glue. Have the ring checked once a year like any pave piece and it will stay secure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this ring be resized later\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe plain section at the base of the shank can be sized within one or two sizes. The braided pave section cannot be cut, so tell us your size as accurately as you can. First resizing is free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is this different from your other vine rings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur sculpted metal leaf vine ring has no accent diamonds at all and relies purely on carved metal. Our twisted vine pave ring uses two strands and a hidden halo. This design uses several braided strands together with pave set leaf forms, so it is the widest and the most heavily set of the three.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes a wedding band sit flush against it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot flush, because the shoulders are raised and sculptural. Most customers wear a curved or contoured band with this ring, or wear it alone. We can make a matching contoured band on request.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich metal should I choose\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you want the braid to read clearly, choose yellow or rose gold, because the polished strands separate visually from the diamonds. If you want the whole shoulder to look like one continuous field of light, choose white gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does it take to make\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a hand set design and takes longer than a plain band. Allow us the production time quoted at checkout, and contact us if you have a date to meet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy a lab grown diamond\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lab grown diamond gives you the same stone at a lower price, which is why a 4 or 5 carat emerald cut is achievable here at a weight that would be out of reach in mined goods. It also comes with a clear origin. Every stone we set is grown, cut, graded and set through channels we control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOur services\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIGI certificate for the center stone included at no extra cost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade to order in your chosen metal, carat and size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree first resizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsured worldwide shipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime cleaning and inspection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom design service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Mapple Gems\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\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.
