Each round is placed a little above or a little below the centre of the shank, alternating as the row travels, so the band reads as a zigzag of light rather than a straight run.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA conventional accent shank has one axis: every stone sits on the centreline and the row draws a straight line down the finger. That line is doing something you only notice when it is removed. It runs parallel to the long edge of a rectangular centre stone, and two parallel straight lines close together tend to read as a single stiff geometry. Staggering the accents breaks that parallel. There is no longer a continuous line to compare the stone against, so the emerald cut is left as the only straight-edged element in the design and its outline reads more sharply for having nothing to echo it. The zigzag also produces a small practical benefit: because the stones sit off-centre alternately, each one presents its table at a slightly different angle to the light, and the row rarely goes dark all at once the way a single-axis row can.\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, step faceted\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 on the bevelled corners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAccent stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone type: lab grown diamond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: round brilliant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlacement: set alternately above and below the centreline of the shank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor grade: E to F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarity grade: VS or better\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBand details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shank is fine and rounded, wide enough only to carry the offset seats.

It is carbon in the same crystal structure as a mined diamond, with the same hardness and the same optical properties, graded on the same scales.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the ring come with a certificate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.

Removing that parallel line lets the emerald cut read as the only geometry in the ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a staggered row harder to set\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Each seat is cut individually at its own offset rather than drilled along one line, so nothing can be templated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes an emerald cut need higher clarity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The large open table shows the interior plainly, which is why we set VVS2 rather than a lower grade a brilliant would disguise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this ring be resized\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, working in the plain lower shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does the ring take to make\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach ring is made to order.
