The other side stays open, so the stone is half framed and half exposed, and the band curves away beneath it rather than running straight.\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: Half bezel, on a curved band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccent stones: None\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\u003eHalf bezel, not full\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA full bezel would close the whole outline in metal and shorten the stone. Wrapping only one side leaves the long curve of the marquise visible against skin on the other, and covers the tip, which is the part that chips. You get the protection where it is needed and the outline where it matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSet east west\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTurned across the finger instead of along it, a marquise stops pointing at the fingertip and starts spanning the hand. It looks wider and sits lower, it will not catch on a sleeve the way a north south marquise can, and it reads as quietly modern rather than formal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe band follows the stone\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shank is not a circle with a setting on top. It rises on one side, dips under the stone and lifts again, so the metal and the diamond form one continuous line. That is why the ring looks carved rather than assembled.\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 yellow gold, which gives the strongest contrast at the bezel wall, but 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.\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 bezel wall is formed against the measured stone so it follows the curve of the marquise exactly along its whole length, with no gap at the tip. Allow two to three weeks for making, plus shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the photographs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeveral of the lifestyle photographs show this ring worn with a curved band set with small diamonds. That band is a separate piece and is not included. We make one shaped to follow this ring, so ask us if you would like the pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLooking after it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWarm water, mild washing up liquid and a soft toothbrush, brushing along the open side of the stone and under the curve of the band. A half bezel collects less than claws do. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the point protected?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The bezel wall closes over the tip on the side it wraps, which is the usual failure point on a marquise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the certificate really free?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The IGI report is included in the price on every variant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill a wedding band sit flush?\u003c\/strong\u003e A straight band will not follow the curve. We make a shaped band for this ring, which is what the photographs show, and it is sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, at the back where the band is plainest. One or two sizes either way is straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I have it set north south instead?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, running along the finger in the same half bezel.
