Both long sides of the stone are left completely open, with no claws and no rim, so the outline is uninterrupted from the widest part of the diamond to each tip.\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: V caps at both points, on a plain tapered 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\u003eHeld at the points, nowhere else\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two tips of a marquise are the thinnest, most vulnerable parts of the stone and also the least interesting to look at. Capping them does two jobs at once: it protects the fragile ends and it leaves the long curved flanks, which is where the light is, entirely clear of metal. There is nothing else touching the diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSet east west\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTurned across the finger rather than along it, the marquise spans the hand instead of pointing up it. It sits lower, looks wider, and does not catch on a sleeve the way a north south marquise can. It is also the reason a stone of modest weight reads as substantial here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe band runs straight through\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe caps are not fittings added to a shank. The band tapers as it approaches the stone and turns into the V at each end, so the ring is one continuous line of metal interrupted by a diamond. Simple to describe, difficult to make well.\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, 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. With no accent stones anywhere on this ring, that one grade is the whole specification.\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 V cap is formed to the measured angle of that particular stone's point, because a cap that does not match leaves a gap at the tip and grips nothing. This is the fussiest part of a simple looking ring. Allow two to three weeks for making, plus shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the photographs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe photograph on the hand shows this ring worn with a diamond set band. That band is a separate piece and is not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLooking after it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWarm water, mild washing up liquid and a soft toothbrush. With both sides of the stone open there is almost nowhere for anything to collect, so this is one of the easiest rings we make to keep clean. 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 a stone held only at the points secure?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, when the caps are fitted to the stone rather than bought as a size. The two points are pulled towards each other along the length of the diamond, which is the strongest direction to hold 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 Yes. The band is straight and the stone sits above it, so a plain band meets it cleanly.\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I have it set north south instead?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, running along the finger with the same V caps.
