The arches lift the emerald cut clear of the finger and give the engraver a broad curved surface to work on, so the acanthus scroll runs up the flank of each arch where it is most visible and continues around the outside of the shank. Every curl is cut with a graver, and the bright angled facet the tool leaves is what makes hand engraving catch light where a moulded pattern stays flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMilgrain does the rest of the work. It borders the top and bottom edge of both flanks, runs along the arch of each cathedral shoulder, and rings the collar that holds the stone, so almost every edge on the ring is beaded. On top of all of that the emerald cut sits completely plain, four claws and nothing else, which is exactly the balance a heavily worked antique ring needs.\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: milgrain edged collar with four corner claws, set north to south\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBand and finish details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCathedral shoulders arching up from the shank to carry the head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand engraved acanthus scroll along both flanks and around the outside of the shank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMilgrain beading along every edge, including the collar and both cathedral arches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpenwork gallery beneath the stone so light reaches the pavilion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo accent stones, a true solitaire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMetal options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K or 18K gold in yellow, rose or white.

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\u003eWhat is a cathedral setting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe shank rises into two arches that carry the head between them, like the arches of a cathedral. It lifts the stone, adds strength, and gives an engraver a broad curved surface to work on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the engraving hand cut\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, cut with a graver. Each curl has a bright angled facet left by the tool, which is why hand engraving catches light and a cast pattern looks flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is milgrain\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA border of tiny raised beads worked with a knurling wheel. On this ring it edges the collar, both cathedral arches and both flanks of the band.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the engraving wear away\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVery slowly, and mostly on the underside of the shank. We recut and refresh the pattern for you at any time as part of our lifetime service.\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\u003eCan this ring be resized\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWithin a modest range, and sizing means recutting the engraving at the join, which we do as part of our service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is this different from your other engraved emerald cut rings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne uses a slim knife edge shank with a shallow running scroll, another a wide flat band carved with deep filigree. This is the only one built on cathedral arches, with the engraving carried up the shoulders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy a lab grown diamond\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe more metalwork a ring carries, the more the eye travels to the plain stone at the top of it. Lab grown material is what makes an E colour VVS2 emerald cut of two to five carats reachable at this price, in fully hallmarked hand engraved 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, polishing and engraving refresh\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.
