The side stones here are scaled up and set close, so all three read as one wide horizontal jewel across the finger, and the shank tapers as it leaves the head so the metal disappears behind the stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy this ring works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost three stone rings put the side stones in line with the centre and leave a visible gap. Setting the pears east west and pushing them up against the emerald cut closes that gap and turns three stones into one continuous shape. Because a pear is widest at the round end, the widest part sits next to the centre stone and the taper carries outward, which flatters a long rectangular centre. The tapering shank does the same job in metal, narrowing so the eye keeps moving inward rather than stopping at the band.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCentre stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone type: Moissanite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: Emerald cut, elongated rectangular step cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Colorless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarity: VVS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut and polish: Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSymmetry: Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRefractive index: 2.65, higher than diamond, which is why moissanite throws more coloured fire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardness: 9.25 on the Mohs scale, hard enough for daily wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarat options: 2 carat, 3 carat, 4 carat and 5 carat centre stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSide stones and band\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne pear cut colorless moissanite sits east west on each side of the centre stone, round end against the emerald cut and point running out along the shoulder, held by prongs at the tip and the belly. Side stone size scales with the centre stone you choose. The shank tapers from approximately two millimetres at the back to a narrower profile where it meets the head. Metal is solid throughout with a polished interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMetal options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose from recycled 925 sterling silver, or solid 10K, 14K and 18K gold in yellow, rose and white. Yellow gold, as photographed, is the classic pairing for a three stone ring. Rose gold makes it warmer and softer. White gold and sterling silver keep all three stones reading as cold and colorless. White gold is rhodium finished.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRing sizing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery ring is made to order in your size. Sizes run from 3 to 13, including half sizes. If you are unsure, pick the closest size to your usual fit and contact us, and we will confirm it before production starts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eClean with warm water, mild dish soap and a soft toothbrush, paying attention to the join between the pears and the centre stone where dust settles. Rinse and dry with a lint free cloth. Check the prong on each pear point once a year. Remove the ring before swimming, gardening or lifting weights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuestions people ask\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is this different from a standard three stone ring?\u003c\/strong\u003e The pears are set east west, sideways rather than in line, and pushed close against the centre stone, so the three stones read as a single wide shape rather than three separate elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the tapered band make the stone look bigger?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. Narrowing the shank toward the head removes metal from directly beside the centre stone, so there is less for the eye to compare it against.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the side stones the same quality as the centre?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. All stones are colorless VVS moissanite, matched so the whiteness is consistent across the ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich metal should I choose?\u003c\/strong\u003e For maximum whiteness choose white gold or sterling silver. For warmth choose yellow or rose gold. For daily wear over decades, 14K balances colour and durability best.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Mapple Gems\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a made to order fine jewellery workshop.
