It is the step cut solitaire at its cleanest: a long rectangle of mirror like facets, nothing around it, and a slender band that makes the stone look even larger.\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: Four claw solitaire on a fine band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccent stones: None, a true solitaire\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\u003eThe emerald cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn emerald cut is a step cut: long, parallel facets arranged like a staircase down the sides of a rectangular stone with cut corners. Instead of fine sparkle it gives broad, calm flashes of light, often described as a hall of mirrors. It is the shape of old Hollywood and Art Deco glamour, and it looks larger face up than many shapes of the same weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy E colour and VVS2 matter here\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA step cut has a wide open table that shows the inside of the stone clearly. That is why every centre stone we use is E colour and VVS2 clarity: colourless and, to the naked eye, completely clean. On an emerald cut, grade is everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy claws, not a bezel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour claws on the cut corners hold the stone securely while leaving the long sides fully open to light. Compared with our emerald bezel rings, this setting shows more of the diamond and sits a little higher for extra brightness.\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. Yellow gold gives an emerald cut its vintage glamour, and white gold makes it crisp and architectural. 10K is the hardest alloy, 14K is the everyday balance, and 18K is the richest colour but the softest metal. 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.\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 claws are placed on the cut corners of your stone and the ring is finished for your carat weight and finger size. Allow two to three weeks for making, plus shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLooking after it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWarm water, mild washing up liquid and a soft toothbrush. A step cut shows a film of grease quickly, so clean under the stone regularly. 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 is the diamond?\u003c\/strong\u003e Every centre stone is E colour and VVS2 clarity, on every metal and every carat weight. The IGI report in the box states both grades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes an emerald cut sparkle?\u003c\/strong\u003e It flashes rather than glitters: broad, bright planes of light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill a wedding band sit flush?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The band is plain and the head sits above it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEmerald cut or radiant?\u003c\/strong\u003e Same outline.
