There are no accent stones anywhere on the ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA rope band is harder to make well than it looks. The two strands have to keep an even pitch all the way round, meet the setting cleanly on both sides and finish without a visible join, and each strand has to be polished separately before the band is assembled. Done properly, the twist catches light in a continuous chain of small highlights that moves as your hand moves, which is something no flat band can do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe setting stays plain and low, with four fine claws holding the corners of the stone and an open gallery beneath so light can reach the pavilion. Keeping the head simple is deliberate. With a textured band, adding pave or a halo would give the eye too many places to go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pairing works because an emerald cut is a still, architectural stone. Setting it on something with movement underneath gives the ring life without touching the diamond itself.\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 claws with the corners protected, open gallery beneath\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\u003eBand and finish details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo solid strands braided into a rope twist around the full band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEven pitch maintained all the way round with no visible join\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach strand polished to a mirror finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo accent diamonds and no engraving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmooth inner surface for comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBand details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rope runs the full circumference and merges into the setting at the shoulders. Inside, the band is finished smooth and slightly domed so the texture is on the outside only and the ring is comfortable against the finger.\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. Because this design has no stones on the band, the metal and its texture are the decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRing size\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery ring is made to order in your size.

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\u003eIs the rope pattern cast or made from real strands\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe band is built from two strands twisted together rather than a cast imitation of a twist, which is why the grooves are clean and the highlights run continuously rather than breaking up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a textured band harder to keep clean\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSlightly, because dust can settle in the grooves. Warm water, mild soap and a soft brush clears it in a minute, and there is no pave to worry about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this ring be resized later\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, but the rope pattern has to be rejoined carefully so the twist still lines up. We do that as part of your free first resizing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is this different from your other twisted band rings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur celtic trinity knot ring adds knot work at the shoulders. Our marquise emerald leaf ring sets coloured stones on the twist. This design is a clean rope braid all the way round with nothing else on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes a wedding band sit flush against it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, the band is straight and even, so a plain or matching rope band sits neatly beside it. A matching twisted wedding band looks particularly good with this ring and we can make one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it comfortable for daily wear\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The rope is on the outside only, the inside is smooth, and there are no raised stones to catch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich metal should I choose\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhite gold and sterling silver make the twist read as light and shadow. Yellow and rose gold make it read as warm braided metal, which is the more traditional look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy a lab grown diamond\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lab grown diamond gives you the same material as a mined stone with a documented origin. With no accent stones on this ring, the whole budget goes into the center diamond, which is why larger emerald cuts are realistic here.\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.
