A single lab grown diamond is raised on a cathedral setting, and a slim band carries one scalloped row of pave diamonds along each shoulder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cathedral setting means the shoulders of the band rise up in an arch to meet the centre stone instead of stopping flat below it. Two things follow from that. The stone sits a little higher and is easier to see from the side, and the ring becomes stronger at the point where most engagement rings take the hardest knocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pave is scalloped, which means the metal between the diamonds is cut away in small curves so the stones appear to float on the edge of the band. Our setters raise four tiny beads over each diamond by hand. The row stops a little past the halfway point on each side, so the back of the band stays plain and can be resized easily later.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEverything about the proportions is kept restrained. The band is narrow, the claws are slim and set at the four corners of the step cut, and the basket underneath is left open. That is deliberate. An emerald cut has a long clean table and a staircase of facets below it, and the less metal you place around it, the more of that structure you actually see.\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: four slim corner claws on a raised cathedral mount with an open basket\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\u003eAccents: round brilliant lab grown diamonds in a single scalloped pave row on each shoulder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccent quality: F to G colour, VS clarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting style: bead set pave with scalloped cut outs between the stones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoverage: pave runs a little past the halfway point on each side, leaving the back plain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBand: slim, gently rounded shank rising into cathedral shoulders\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. White gold and 925 sterling silver, shown here, give the coolest and most classic look.

Choose your size at checkout or write to us with the size you need, including quarter sizes, half sizes and sizes beyond the standard range. Because the back of this band is plain, it is one of the easiest designs to resize in future.

You can request a different centre carat weight, a different colour or clarity grade, a coloured centre stone such as emerald or sapphire, a fully plain band with no pave, a hidden halo under the stone, or an engraving inside the shank.

A lab grown diamond has the same carbon crystal structure, the same hardness of 10 on the Mohs scale and the same brilliance 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 lists the carat weight, colour, clarity, measurements and laboratory grown origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is this different from your other pave shoulder emerald cut rings?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the plainest of them. There is no hidden halo, no milgrain, no second row and no decoration under the stone. It is a single scalloped pave row on a slim cathedral band, which makes it the most classic and the easiest to pair with any wedding band.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill a wedding band sit flush against it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The cathedral arms rise from the band rather than flaring outward, so a straight wedding band sits neatly against this ring on both sides. That is one of the main reasons people choose this style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does a cathedral setting do?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt lifts the centre stone slightly and supports it with arches on both sides. The stone is more visible in profile and the setting is reinforced exactly where a ring is most likely to be knocked.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich carat weight suits this ring?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll four are made for it. Because the band is slim and undecorated, larger stones look particularly striking here. A 4 or 5 carat emerald cut on a narrow band creates a strong contrast that a wider band would soften.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs an emerald cut good for everyday wear?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The corners of an emerald cut are cut at an angle rather than left as sharp points, and the claws here sit directly over those corners.\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 toothbrush. Brush under the open basket as well as over the pave, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth. An open basket makes this design very easy to keep clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does it take to make?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvery 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 place your order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy a lab grown diamond\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLab grown diamonds are the same material as mined diamonds, with the same hardness and the same light performance, at a fraction of the price. In a simple setting like this one, where the stone is the whole design, that difference is what lets you choose a much larger emerald cut. 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. A simple ring is unforgiving, because there is no decoration to hide behind. The claws have to be even, the pave has to run straight and the cathedral arch has to be symmetrical, and that is exactly the kind of finishing our bench takes care over. Because you buy directly from the workshop, changes in carat weight, metal or stone colour are ordinary requests for us.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver
