{"product_id":"emerald-cut-lab-grown-diamond-ring-wide-polished-band","title":"Emerald Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring on Wide Polished Band","description":"\u003ch2\u003eEmerald Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring on Wide Polished Band\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn emerald cut lab grown diamond held in four claws and set low into a wide polished band that runs at full width all the way around the finger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost solitaires taper. This one does not. The band keeps its full width from one side of the head to the other and around the back, so the ring reads as a solid piece of metal with a diamond let into it rather than as a stone raised on a shank. It is a modern proportion and it does something specific for a step cut. Against a broad flat expanse of polished gold, the sharp rectangle of an emerald cut looks even more precise, and the long parallel lines of the step facets are the only pattern anywhere on the ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe head is set as low as the claws allow, sitting almost into the surface of the band rather than above it. That keeps a wide ring comfortable and stops the profile from becoming top heavy at four or five carats. The outer surface is gently domed and fully polished, and the interior is comfort rounded so a wide band does not grip at its edges.\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 claws set low into the band, north to south\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBand details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide band held at full width the whole way around, with no taper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGently domed outer surface, fully polished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComfort rounded interior\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.

Write to us through https:\/\/mapplegems.com\/pages\/contact and our workshop will prepare a quotation and a rendering before any metal is cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a lab grown diamond a real diamond\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. 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\u003eShould I size up for a wide band\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsually yes. A wide band covers more of the finger and feels tighter than a narrow one at the same measured size. We build in a comfort fit interior, but if you are between sizes we recommend the larger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes a wide band make the stone look smaller\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt can, which is why the head here is set low and the band is kept flat and plain. There is no shoulder detail to compete with the outline of the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it scratch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA large polished surface shows fine scratches over time, as any polished ring does. We repolish it 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\u003eYes, though many people wear this ring on its own because the band is already substantial.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this ring be resized\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, though a wide band takes more work to size than a narrow one. Free within the first year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is this different from your other plain emerald cut rings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe others use slim, knife edge or domed comfort fit shanks of normal width. This is the only one built on a full width band with no taper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy a lab grown diamond\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA wide plain band gives the stone nowhere to hide and no distraction, and an emerald cut shows everything through a very 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 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.
