No claws anywhere on the ring. The bezel follows the exact curve of the marquise, points included, so the outline of the stone is drawn in metal as well as in diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentre stone: Marquise 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: Full bezel marquise on a thin band with a flared V shoulder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccent stones: None, this is a true solitaire\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\u003eThe full bezel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA bezel is a continuous collar of metal pressed over the girdle of the stone. It is the oldest setting there is and still the most secure. Nothing sticks up to catch on a jumper, a glove or a child's hair, and the two points of the marquise, normally the weakest part of the stone, are fully enclosed rather than held under a claw. If you work with your hands, this is the setting to choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCut for the shape\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking a bezel for a round stone is straightforward. Making one for a marquise is not: the rim has to taper to a sharp point at both ends and stay an even thickness all the way around the curve, or the whole thing looks clumsy. It is cut and chased by hand around your individual stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe flared shoulder\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band stays narrow around the back of the finger and widens as it rises, splitting into a shallow V that meets the underside of the bezel. It lifts the stone just clear of the finger, so light gets underneath, while keeping the total height low.\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. Yellow gold is photographed here, and a warm rim around a colourless stone is the classic bezel look. In white gold the metal and the diamond merge and the stone appears larger. 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. A bezel cannot be made in advance and fitted later, because it has to match one stone exactly. Yours is formed around your marquise from the start. 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. A bezel keeps dirt out far better than claws, so this is one of the easiest settings to keep clean. Wipe the outside of the rim to keep the polish bright.\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\u003eDoes a bezel make the diamond look smaller?\u003c\/strong\u003e The rim covers the very edge of the stone, but it also adds its own outline, so most people find a bezel set marquise reads slightly larger overall, not smaller.\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 against it?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The bezel sits low and the shoulder tapers away, so a straight band sits close on both sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The shank is plain, so resizing is straightforward and does not disturb the setting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2
