The round side stones break up the straight lines of the emerald cut, and the pave carries the light out along the finger so the whole band reads as continuous diamond.\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: Three stone, claw set, on a pave band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide stones: Round brilliant laboratory grown diamonds, E colour, VVS2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBand: Pave set shoulders, plain at the back\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 against round ones\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn emerald cut is all parallel planes and sharp corners. Put a round brilliant beside it and the contrast does the work, because the round scatters light in small flashes while the emerald holds it in broad sheets. Two very different kinds of sparkle sitting next to each other is what makes this combination read as more than the sum of three stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the grade matters most on the centre\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA step cut has no brilliance to hide behind. You look straight into the stone through its long facets, so inclusions and tint both show. We grade every centre emerald at E colour and VVS2 clarity for exactly that reason, and we match the round sides and the pave to the same grade so nothing in the ring looks warm against the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePave that stops at the halfway point\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shoulder stones run about halfway down each side and then the band goes plain. Pave all the way round photographs well and wears badly, because the stones under the finger take the abrasion and the ring cannot be resized without cutting through set metal. Stopping the pave where it does keeps the sparkle where you see it and leaves solid metal at the back.\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. This ring was photographed in white metal, and every metal is made to order and priced above. 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 round sides and every pave stone 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 emerald is set first and the rounds are brought up to meet its corners, so there is no gap where the shapes join. The pave is bead set by hand, one grain at a time, and both shoulders are matched to each other before the shank is closed. 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 soap faster than a brilliant does, and pave traps hand cream between the beads, so this ring benefits from a clean more often than a plain solitaire would. The corners of the emerald are the vulnerable part, so 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 are the diamonds?\u003c\/strong\u003e The centre emerald, both round side stones and all the pave are E colour and VVS2 clarity, on all metals and all carat weights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the carat weight include the sides and the pave?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat options refer to the centre emerald. The round sides and the pave are in addition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big does a 2 carat emerald cut look?\u003c\/strong\u003e Larger than a 2 carat round, because an emerald cut spreads its weight along the length of the stone. With the round sides and pave the ring also covers more of the finger than its centre weight suggests.\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?\u003c\/strong\u003e Close to it. The side stones sit low and the shank is slim, so a straight band meets it with only a slight gap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, at the back where the band is plain. One or two sizes either way is straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2
