The gold is finished matte rather than polished, and the shank curves so that the whole top of the ring sits as one low, soft form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentre stone: Marquise cut laboratory grown diamond, set east west\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: East west marquise with flush set baguettes, on a curved matte band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccent stones: Baguette 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\u003eA matte finish, on purpose\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost engagement rings are mirror polished, which makes the metal compete with the stones. This one is brushed to a soft satin, so the gold reads as a quiet surface and the diamonds are the only thing reflecting. It also wears more gracefully: a matte finish absorbs the small scratches of daily life instead of showing them. If you would rather have it polished, we will make it that way at no extra cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBaguettes running with the band\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe side stones are rectangles set flush into the metal, following the curve of the shank rather than sitting on top of it. Nothing is raised, nothing snags, and the line of straight edges either side of the marquise gives the ring its deco character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSet east west\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTurned across the finger rather than along it, the marquise spans the hand and sits low. It will not catch on a sleeve, and it lines up with the baguettes to make one continuous horizontal band across the top of the ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe points are protected\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth tips of the marquise sit within the metal of the setting rather than standing clear of it, which is where a marquise almost always chips. On a ring designed to be worn every day, that detail matters more than any other.\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 matte yellow gold, but every metal is made to order and priced above. White gold is rhodium plated and will want replating every one to two years, and a matte finish in white gold needs redoing at the same time.\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 is visible on a step cut accent in a way it is not on pave.\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 band is shaped first, then each baguette seat is cut into the curve at its own angle, and the matte finish is applied last so that setting does not mark it. 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. Do not use a polishing cloth on the matte surfaces, as it will burnish them shiny in patches; send the ring to us instead and we will refinish it. 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 marquise and every baguette 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 baguettes?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat options refer to the centre marquise. The baguettes 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\u003eDoes the matte finish wear off?\u003c\/strong\u003e It softens gradually with wear, which most people like. We refinish it free of charge whenever you send the ring in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill a wedding band sit flush?\u003c\/strong\u003e The shank curves, so a straight band leaves a small gap. We make a shaped band to follow it; ask us if you would like the pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, at the back. One or two sizes either way is straightforward, and we refinish the matte surface afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2
