The stone stays upright and formal while everything beneath it moves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentre stone: Emerald cut laboratory grown diamond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarat options: 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour and clarity: E colour, VVS2 clarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertificate: IGI, included free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting: Claw set above a sculpted curved band with graduated accents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccent stones: Round laboratory grown diamonds, E colour, VVS2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetals: 925 silver, 10K, 14K and 18K gold in yellow, rose and white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade: To order in Surat, India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA band that behaves like a ribbon\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shank does not run straight under the stone. It loops out to one side, doubles back beneath the setting and rises again, so from every angle you see a different curve. The round diamonds are set along the outer edge of that sweep, largest nearest the centre stone and smaller as the metal falls away, which makes the curve look like it is moving even when the hand is still.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy an emerald cut in the middle of all that\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA step cut is the calmest shape there is: straight edges, flat planes, broad slow flashes. Dropping one into a setting this restless gives the eye somewhere to land. A brilliant in the same mount would compete with the accents and the whole thing would read as busy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe emerald cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRows of long parallel facets rather than the many small triangles of a brilliant. You look straight into the stone rather than at a surface of sparkle, which is why colour and clarity matter more on this shape than on any other. Ours are E colour and VVS2.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat laboratory grown means here\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA laboratory grown diamond is a diamond. It is crystallised carbon with the same cubic structure, the same 10 on the Mohs scale, the same refractive index of 2.42 and the same dispersion as a mined stone. Ours are grown by chemical vapour deposition and high pressure high temperature methods, then cut and polished by hand. This is not moissanite, not cubic zirconia and not a simulant. A gemmologist testing it will read diamond, because it is diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMetals\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K or 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. This ring was photographed in yellow gold, which shows the sweep of the band best, but every metal is made to order and priced above. White gold is rhodium plated and will want replating every one to two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEvery centre stone arrives IGI certified\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre diamond is graded by IGI, the International Gemological Institute, and the certificate comes with the ring at no extra charge. It states the carat weight, the E colour grade, the VVS2 clarity grade, the measurements and the girdle inscription, and confirms in writing that the stone is laboratory grown. The accent diamonds are matched to the same E and VVS2 grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMade to order in our own workshop\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a family run workshop in Surat, India, where most of the world's diamonds are cut and polished. The curve is shaped by hand and polished along its whole length, since a flat spot in a sweep this exposed is visible immediately, and each accent is seated separately because the surface is turning beneath it. Allow two to three weeks for making, plus shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the photographs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the photographs shows this ring worn with a curved band shaped to nest against it. That band is a separate piece and is not included. We make it to match, so ask us if you would like the pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLooking after it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWarm water, mild washing up liquid and a soft toothbrush, following the curve on both sides and brushing behind the centre stone. An emerald cut has open corners, so avoid knocking the ring against hard edges. Take it off for the gym, gardening and swimming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions we are asked\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat colour and clarity are the diamonds?\u003c\/strong\u003e The centre stone and every accent are E colour and VVS2 clarity, on all metals and all carat weights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the carat weight include the accents?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat options refer to the centre emerald cut. The round diamonds on the curve are in addition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the certificate really free?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The IGI report for the centre stone is included in the price on every variant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill a wedding band sit flush?\u003c\/strong\u003e Not a straight one, because the shank curves. The shaped band in the photographs is made for exactly this, and it is sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, at the back, though the curve limits how far we can go. One size either way is safe; beyond that we would rather remake it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I have a different centre shape?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. An oval or an elongated cushion sits well in this setting. Tell us when you order.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2
