{"product_id":"emerald-cut-lab-grown-diamond-swirl-ring-with-accents","title":"Emerald Cut Lab Grown Diamond Sculptural Swirl Engagement Ring with Step Cut Accents in Silver, 10K, 14K and 18K Gold","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn emerald cut laboratory grown diamond set on the diagonal inside a swirling band, with two smaller step cut stones tucked into the curve above and below it. The shank leaves the finger, sweeps past the stone and drops away again, so the straight lines of the diamonds sit inside a shape made entirely of curves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentre stone: Emerald cut laboratory grown diamond, set on the diagonal\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: Sculptural swirl with the emerald cut set diagonally and step cut accents in the curve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccent stones: Step cut 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\u003eStraight lines inside a curve\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn emerald cut is nothing but parallel lines and cropped corners. A swirl is nothing but curve. Setting the one inside the other, and tilting the stone off the axis of the band, is what makes this ring look considered rather than merely decorative. The rectangle reads as an object placed in the metal, not as a stone the metal was built around.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe accents match the centre\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRather than dropping round brilliants into the gaps, the two accents are step cut as well, so all three stones flash in the same broad planes instead of one sparkling while the others glow. They sit in the hollows where the swirl changes direction, which is the only place on this design where a stone can go without interrupting the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the grade is fixed at E and VVS2\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStep cuts have large open tables and long unbroken facets that hide nothing, and this ring has three of them sitting together. Any difference in colour between the centre and the accents would be obvious by direct comparison. Every stone is E colour and VVS2 clarity, matched before setting.\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 is photographed here, and on a design where the polished sweep of metal is half the ring, the alloy matters: 10K holds a polish hardest, 14K is the everyday balance, 18K gives the deepest colour. 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 step cut accents 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 swirl is formed and polished before any stone goes near it, because a curve like this cannot be corrected afterwards, and the diagonal angle of the centre stone is set to your particular emerald cut so the corners clear the metal on both sides. 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. Work into the hollows where the accents sit and along the inside of the curve behind the centre stone. 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 accents are matched to the same grade.\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 two step cut accents 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 against it?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, not flat. The swirl crosses the band at an angle. A curved or open band nests against it, or wear this ring alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e Only slightly, because the curve is formed to a specific finger size. Please measure carefully and we will build to your size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo emerald cuts sparkle?\u003c\/strong\u003e They flash rather than sparkle, returning light in wide mirror like planes. With three step cuts on one ring the effect is a set of slow, bright pulses as the hand moves, rather than continuous glitter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling
