This is a half bezel, and it is one of the cleanest ways to set a step cut stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reasoning is simple. An emerald cut is a rectangle, so a setting that follows two straight lines suits it far better than claws that interrupt the outline at four points. With the ends open, the stone can still be seen edge to edge, and the two gold walls sit flush with the girdle so nothing sticks out at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat makes this one of the most practical engagement rings we make. There are no prongs to catch on clothing, gloves or hair, nothing to lift or bend, and the diamond is protected exactly where it is most likely to be knocked. It is a good choice if you work with your hands or simply never want to think about your ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band is slim, round and plain so that all the attention stays on the stone, and it tapers gently under the finger for comfort.\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 a wide open 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: half bezel, with polished gold walls along both long sides and open ends\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\u003eBand details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBand: slim rounded shank, completely plain and polished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfile: low setting that sits close to the finger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComfort: no prongs or raised edges anywhere on the ring\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. Yellow gold, shown here, frames a colourless stone with a strong warm line on each side. White gold and 925 sterling silver make the bezel almost disappear into the diamond. Rose gold gives a softer contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRing size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRing size is fully customisable.

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 bezel set emerald cut rings?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a half bezel, not a full one. Metal runs along the two long sides only and both ends of the stone stay open, so more of the diamond is visible while it stays just as snag free. It also sits on a completely plain band with no accents anywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes a bezel make the diamond look smaller?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA full bezel can, because metal covers the edge all the way round. A half bezel leaves the ends open, so the stone reads at close to its true size while still gaining the protection of a bezel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this ring good for everyday wear?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is one of the best options we make for it. There are no prongs to loosen or catch, the setting sits low, and the corners of the stone are shielded by the gold walls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill a wedding band sit flush against it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The band is plain and the setting is low, so straight wedding bands sit perfectly against it. Many people wear one on each side of this ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich carat weight suits this setting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll four are made for it. Because the band is very slim and the bezel is minimal, larger stones look especially bold here, and the ring still stays comfortable.\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 around the two open ends where dust can gather. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Bezel settings are among the easiest to keep clean.\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 schedule when you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is shown in the photographs on a hand?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThose images show the ring worn, so you can judge its scale and how low it sits. The clothing and manicure in those photographs are styling only and are not part of the product.\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 price. In a setting this simple the diamond is the entire ring, so that saving translates directly into a larger, cleaner stone. 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, including a full bezel or an east west setting\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. A half bezel has to be made to the exact measurements of the stone it holds, because the two walls are pressed against the girdle with no prongs to take up any slack. That means the setting is built around your chosen diamond rather than the other way round. Buying from us means dealing directly with the bench, so changes in carat weight, metal, stone colour or bezel style are ordinary requests.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple
