That is the whole point of the design. The leaves are given a shallow central rib and a curled edge, so each one catches light along its length and throws a shadow underneath, and because polished gold reflects far more strongly than a small stone at this scale they read clearly from a distance in a way a pave leaf never does. Two strands wind around each other beneath them, opening into small windows where they cross.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeaving out the accents also solves a problem particular to step cuts. An emerald cut gives broad slow flashes rather than fast fire, and surrounding it with dozens of small brilliants sets up a competition it always loses. Here the only stone on the ring is the centre, and everything else is worked metal, so the diamond is the single point of brilliance and the band is texture around it.\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: four ball tipped claws, set north to south\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBand and finish details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo strands twisted into a vine with open windows where they cross\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSculpted metal leaves curling off the vine at each shoulder, each with a central rib and curled edge\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\u003cli\u003eInterior smoothed and comfort rounded\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\u003eWhy are there no diamonds in the leaves\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause polished metal reflects more strongly than a very small stone at this scale, and because leaving the centre stone as the only diamond keeps the emerald cut from competing with a field of small brilliants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the leaves catch on clothing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Each leaf is laid against the vine and its edges are rounded and polished, so nothing stands out at an angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the polished metal scratch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAny polished surface picks up fine marks over time. We repolish the ring free of charge for life.\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 leaves small gaps where the vine rises. We make a matching vine band that nests into the pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this ring be resized\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWithin a modest range, using the section at the back of the shank where the twist closes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is this different from your other vine and leaf rings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe others set marquise or pear diamonds as leaves. This is the only one where every leaf is sculpted metal and the centre stone is the sole diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy a lab grown diamond\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen a ring carries only one stone, that stone is the entire purchase and an emerald cut hides nothing through its wide open table. Lab grown material is what makes an E colour VVS2 emerald cut of two to five carats reachable at this price, in fully hallmarked sculpted 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 repolishing\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.
