All three stones are step cut, so the ring is one continuous set of long flat facets running across the finger, and the shank stays plain and rounded behind them.\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: Four double claw centre with claw set tapered baguette sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide stones: Tapered baguette laboratory grown diamonds, E colour, VVS2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBand: Plain, rounded\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\u003eThree step cuts, one line\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost three stone rings mix cuts, putting brilliant sides against a step cut centre or the other way round. This one keeps all three step cut, so the facets run in the same direction across the whole head and the ring reads as a single deliberate object rather than a centre stone with decorations. It is the quieter, more architectural version of a three stone ring, and it is the one that suits an emerald cut best.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy tapered baguettes and not trillions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA tapered baguette is a long, narrow rectangle that narrows toward the outer end. Set against the flat side of an emerald cut it meets the girdle edge to edge with no gap, then draws the eye outward along the finger. A trillion points away and breaks the line; a plain baguette without the taper stops it dead. The taper is what makes the design flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eClarity has nowhere to hide\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA step cut's open table shows everything inside the stone, so inclusions that would vanish in a brilliant are plainly visible in an emerald cut. That applies to the baguettes as much as the centre. This is why the VVS2 grade throughout is a requirement on this design rather than an upsell.\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. 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 baguettes are matched to the same E and VVS2 grade, which on an all step cut ring is unavoidable: three open tables side by side would show any mismatch immediately.\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. Each pair of baguettes is cut to the measurements of the individual centre stone so the contact edges meet the emerald with no gap, and the pair is matched to each other for length and taper before setting. 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. Step cut stones show dirt more readily than brilliants because their flat facets have nowhere to hide it, so clean all three as often as each other. Take the ring 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 cut and both tapered baguettes 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 side stones?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat options refer to the centre emerald cut. The baguettes are in addition and are scaled to the centre stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs an emerald cut less sparkly?\u003c\/strong\u003e Different rather than less. It gives long broad flashes instead of rapid fire, and this design leans into that rather than fighting it.\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 Yes. The baguettes sit low against the shank, so a straight band meets it cleanly on both sides. This is one of the easiest designs to pair.\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
