At each corner of the stone a pair of small ball tipped claws sits side by side, and beneath the stone a hidden halo of pave diamonds runs around the setting, outlined with milgrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDouble prongs are an old jewellery detail with two real advantages. They spread the pressure across a wider part of each corner, which matters on a step cut where the corners are the working edges, and the rounded ball tips leave nothing sharp to catch. Visually they give the setting a beaded, slightly antique look instead of the plain modern claw.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hidden halo is set on the outside wall of the head, so from above it stays out of sight and the long table of the emerald cut is left completely clear. From the side it appears as a bright band of small diamonds with a milgrain edge above and below it, which is where the vintage character of this ring really shows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band is deliberately slender and carries a fine row of pave diamonds along the top on both sides. It keeps the ring light on the finger and lets the centre stone read as large as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCenter stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\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 with an open rectangular table\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarat weight: choose 2 carat, 3 carat, 4 carat or 5 carat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour grade: E, in the colourless range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarity grade: VVS2, eye clean under normal viewing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut and polish: excellent make, excellent lustre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting: eight ball tipped claws in pairs at the four corners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertificate: an IGI certificate for the centre stone is included at no extra cost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAccent stones and band\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHidden halo: round brilliant lab grown diamonds pave set around the outside of the head, framed by milgrain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBand accents: a single fine pave row along the top of the shank on both sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccent quality: F to G colour, VS clarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailing: hand raised milgrain along the halo edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBand: slim shank, rounded and plain on the inside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: high polish throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMetal options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade to order in 925 sterling silver, 10K yellow gold, 10K rose gold, 10K white gold, 14K yellow gold, 14K rose gold, 14K white gold, 18K yellow gold, 18K rose gold or 18K white gold.

It is the same carbon crystal with the same hardness of 10 on the Mohs scale and the same optical properties as a mined diamond. Only its origin is different.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a certificate included?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. An IGI certificate for the centre stone is included at no extra cost and states carat weight, colour, clarity, measurements and laboratory grown origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is this different from your other hidden halo emerald cut rings?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe prongs. This is the only one of our emerald cut hidden halo rings that uses paired ball tipped claws at every corner, eight in total, together with milgrain framing the halo. Our other hidden halo designs use four plain claws and no milgrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre double prongs more secure?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey spread the holding pressure over more of each corner, so any single knock is less likely to move the stone. They also give a second point of contact if one prong is ever damaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill a wedding band sit flush against it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The band is slim and the head sits above it, so a straight wedding band meets this ring cleanly on both sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich carat weight suits this setting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll four are made for it. The slim band and small ball prongs keep the metal quiet, so larger stones look particularly impressive here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs an emerald cut good for daily wear?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Its corners are cut at an angle rather than left as points, and here two claws protect each of those corners rather than one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWarm water, a drop of mild dish soap and a soft brush. Brush around the hidden halo and behind the prongs, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does it take to make?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach ring is made to order, so please allow our standard making time from the day your metal and size are confirmed. We will confirm the exact schedule when you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy a lab grown diamond\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLab grown diamonds have the same composition, hardness and brilliance as mined diamonds, at a fraction of the cost, which is what makes a large emerald cut realistic in a hand finished setting like this. Every centre stone we set is grown in a controlled laboratory and graded by IGI before it reaches our bench.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur services\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade to order in all ten metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIGI certificate for the centre stone included at no extra cost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom ring sizing and sizing guidance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign changes on request\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecure insured worldwide shipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect contact with the workshop making your 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. Eight prongs mean eight chances for a claw to sit at the wrong height, so a double prong head is set slowly and checked from every angle. That is normal work for our bench. Buying from us means dealing directly with the people making your ring, so changes in carat weight, metal, prong style or stone colour are ordinary requests.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple
