A tapered baguette is set flush into the shank on each side, level with the band rather than raised above it. The entire ring sits flat to the finger, with nothing standing proud anywhere on it.\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: Stepped rectangular bezel with a tapered baguette set flush on each side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccent stones: Tapered baguette 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\u003eThe stepped bezel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA plain bezel is a single flat wall of metal. This one is cut back in two levels, so the frame steps down from the table of the stone to the band. It repeats, in gold, exactly what the emerald cut is doing in diamond, which is why the ring reads as one continuous idea rather than a stone dropped into a setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFlush set, not raised\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe baguettes are tapped down into their own seats so their tables sit level with the surface of the shank. Nothing protrudes. This is the most snag proof way to set a stone, and it is why this ring suits people who work with their hands, wear gloves, or simply do not want to think about their ring during the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy clarity matters most here\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery stone on this ring is step cut. Long parallel facets and wide open tables mean nothing is hidden, so any inclusion would sit in plain view. Every centre diamond here is VVS2, a grade at which nothing is visible even under ten times magnification, and the baguettes are matched to it.\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, as photographed, gives the stepped frame real presence against a colourless stone. 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. Cutting a clean second step into a bezel wall without thinning it is precise work, and flush setting a tapered baguette so the top sits dead level takes a steady hand. 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. Run the brush along the step of the bezel and around each flush set baguette. Wipe the table of the emerald cut, which shows fingerprints more than a brilliant. 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 baguettes are matched to the same grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does this differ from your other bezel set emerald cut ring?\u003c\/strong\u003e That one has a plain single wall bezel and its baguettes sit against the setting. This one has a two level stepped frame and the baguettes are flush set into the band itself, so it sits noticeably flatter on the finger.\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 against it?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, as well as any ring we make. Nothing on it stands above band height.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The shank is plain past the flush set baguettes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2
