The three principal stones are step cuts, and that is the whole idea of the ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA step cut works differently from a brilliant. Instead of hundreds of small facets scattering light into flashes of colour, it uses long parallel facets cut in terraces, which return light in broad plates. The result is not sparkle but flash: wide clean returns that appear and vanish as the hand turns, and a view straight down into the stone that brilliants never give. Setting an emerald cut between two tapered baguettes multiplies the effect, because the baguettes are cut on the same principle and can be oriented so their tables sit level with the table of the centre stone. When the three tables lie in one plane the whole top of the ring behaves as a single mirror rather than three separate ones. The pave on the shank is then the only brilliant cut element in the design, and it is there deliberately: it supplies the fine scintillation that step cuts withhold, at the one place where it will not compete with the flashes above.\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 holding the corners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSide stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone type: lab grown diamond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: tapered baguette, step faceted, one on each side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrientation: tables set level with the table of the centre stone\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\u003eAccent stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShank: round brilliant diamonds in fine pave along the upper 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 narrow and flat topped so the pave sits in a straight line rather than curving away from view. It steps up at the shoulders to meet the baguettes, then continues at even width, and the lower half is left plain for comfort and for resizing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMetal options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K or 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. Every metal is fully hallmarked. The photographs show yellow gold, which frames the open table of an emerald cut particularly well because the warm surround makes the clean interior read as brighter by contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRing size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ring is made to your finger size.

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 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. An IGI certificate for the center stone is included at no extra charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does an emerald cut show inclusions more easily\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause its large open table gives an uninterrupted view into the stone rather than breaking up the light. This is exactly why we set VVS2 clarity here rather than a lower grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo emerald cuts sparkle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey flash rather than sparkle. If you want continuous glitter a brilliant cut is the better choice. If you want clean architecture and broad returns of light, this is the cut that gives it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre tapered baguettes durable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Their corners are the vulnerable areas and here each is covered by a claw. Their flat sides also sit tight against the centre stone, which reduces movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat length to width ratio do you use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe select emerald cuts close to 1.40 to 1.50, which most people find balanced. Tell us if you prefer a squarer or longer outline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does the ring take to make\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach ring is made to order. Production usually takes ten to fourteen working days before dispatch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy a lab grown diamond\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA lab grown diamond gives you a larger stone and a higher colour and clarity grade for the same budget, with a traceable origin and no mining. An emerald cut benefits from this more than most shapes, since its open table makes high clarity and high colour visible rather than theoretical.\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 polishing\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.
