A narrow wall of metal follows the eight sides of the emerald cut all the way around, and its top edge is finished with milgrain, a fine row of raised beads worked with a knurling wheel. That beaded line traces the outline of the stone and turns the setting into a frame rather than a mount. Four slim claws hold the corners, so the ring keeps the security of claws and the drawn outline of a bezel at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band divides as it approaches the head. Each side splits into two arms with an open space between them, and those arms carry the collar from either side before rejoining behind. A split shank does two useful things on a large stone. It spreads the load across four points of contact instead of two, and the open windows it leaves make a substantial head look lighter than it is. No stones are set anywhere on the shank.\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 setting details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMilgrain beading worked along the top edge of the collar, following the outline of the stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour slim corner claws over the collar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShank splits into two arms at each shoulder with open windows between them\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully polished and completely unset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo accent stones anywhere on the ring\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\u003eIs this a bezel setting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot quite. It is a collar, a wall of metal that follows the outline of the stone without being burnished over its edge, with four claws holding the corners. It gives the drawn outline of a bezel and the security of claws.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is milgrain\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA border of tiny raised beads worked into the metal with a knurling wheel. Here it runs along the top edge of the collar and traces the shape of the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does a split shank do\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt spreads the load of the head across four points of contact instead of two and leaves open windows that make a substantial setting look lighter.\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\u003eWill a wedding band sit flush\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA straight band meets the shank cleanly at the back but leaves a small gap where the split opens. We can shape a band to nest into it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this ring be resized\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, using the solid section at the back of the shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is this different from your other bezel style emerald cut rings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe full bezel designs burnish metal over the girdle and use no claws at all. This one uses a collar with milgrain and four corner claws, and adds a split shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy a lab grown diamond\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA collar traces the outline of the stone exactly, so the proportions of the rectangle are on show against the metal all the way around. Lab grown material lets us select a well proportioned E colour VVS2 emerald cut of two to five carats and set it in fully hallmarked 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 and polishing\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.
