The twist is what makes this ring, two strands of metal cross and separate along the band so the light hits them at different angles, which gives movement to a design that would otherwise be a straight solitaire. Above it the marquise sits pointed north to south with its tips protected in V prongs, lifted just enough by the concealed halo to catch light from the side. Every diamond is a laboratory grown diamond, identical in carbon structure, hardness and brilliance to a mined diamond, graded E colour and VVS2 clarity. Each ring is made to order in our own Surat workshop and ships with a free IGI certificate for the centre stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCenter stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone type: Lab Grown Diamond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape and cut: Marquise cut, elongated navette outline with pointed tips, set north south along the finger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarat weight: 2 Carat, 3 Carat, 4 Carat or 5 Carat, selected above\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor grade: E, colorless range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarity grade: VVS2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLuster: Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake and polish: Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertification: Free IGI certificate for the centre stone, included with every order at no extra charge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSide stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone type: Lab Grown Diamond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape and cut: Round brilliant accents forming the concealed halo beneath the centre stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor grade: E, colorless range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarity grade: VVS2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLuster: Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake and polish: Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting style: V prong marquise head over a hidden round diamond halo, on a twisted two strand shank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMetal options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is made to order in ten metal choices, so you can match it to jewellery you already wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e925 Sterling Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10K Yellow Gold, 10K Rose Gold, 10K White Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14K Yellow Gold, 14K Rose Gold, 14K White Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18K Yellow Gold, 18K Rose Gold, 18K White Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll gold options are solid gold, never plated or filled. White gold is finished with rhodium for a bright white surface. Yellow gold is the metal shown in the photographs and it emphasises the twist strongly, because the two strands catch light differently against a warm surface. In white gold the twist reads as a subtler texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRing size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose your ring size at checkout.

Because the strands sit at changing angles, the band catches light along its whole length and reads as textured rather than flat. It is a good way to add interest to a solitaire without adding more stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat is a hidden halo\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA hidden halo is a ring of small diamonds set horizontally around the basket underneath the centre stone, facing outward rather than upward. From directly above you do not see it, so the ring keeps a clean marquise outline. From the side and from the wearer's own eye level it catches light and makes the centre stone appear to float above the finger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIs a lab grown diamond a real diamond\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. A lab grown diamond is real diamond. It has the same carbon crystal structure, the same hardness of 10 on the Mohs scale, the same refractive index and the same fire and brilliance as a mined diamond. The only difference is that it was grown in a controlled laboratory over a few weeks instead of underground over billions of years. No jeweller can tell the difference by eye, only specialist equipment reading growth patterns can separate the two.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAre the pointed tips of a marquise diamond fragile\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tips are the most vulnerable part of a marquise, which is why they are always protected by prongs on a well made ring. On this setting the tips sit inside V prongs that wrap around and shield them. Worn normally the stone is durable. As with any diamond ring, take it off for gym sessions, gardening and heavy lifting, and have the prongs checked every couple of years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDoes this ring come with a certificate\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Every ring ships with a free IGI certificate for the centre stone. IGI is the International Gemological Institute, one of the largest independent diamond grading laboratories in the world. The certificate confirms the carat weight, the E colour grade, the VVS2 clarity grade and the laboratory grown origin. There is no extra charge for the certificate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhy do marquise diamonds look larger than other shapes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA marquise has the largest face up area per carat of any diamond shape. The weight is spread across a long shallow outline rather than concentrated in depth, so it looks noticeably bigger than a round of the same carat weight, and the elongated shape has a slimming effect on the finger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat does E colour VVS2 actually mean\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eE colour is the second highest grade on the diamond colour scale and sits inside the colourless range, so the diamond looks bright white with no warm or yellow tint. VVS2 means very very slightly included, the second highest clarity tier. Any inclusions are so small that a trained grader needs 10x magnification to find them and they are completely invisible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy a lab grown diamond\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA lab grown diamond gives you a materially identical stone for a fraction of the price of a mined equivalent, which is what makes a 4 carat or 5 carat marquise centre realistic on a normal budget. Because the origin of every stone is documented from the moment it is grown, a lab grown diamond is conflict free by definition. Growing a diamond also avoids the open pit excavation, land disruption and water use that mining a comparable stone requires, so the environmental cost is considerably lower. For most buyers the practical result is simple, a bigger and cleaner diamond, with a paper trail you can actually verify.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur services\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree IGI certificate for the centre stone on every order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping worldwide with tracking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade to order in any US ring size from 3 to 13 including half sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree resizing assistance and 30 day returns and exchanges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom design service for changes to stone shape, setting, band width and engraving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime cleaning and maintenance guidance for your ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Mapple Gems\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a made to order fine jewellery workshop based in Surat, India, the city that cuts and polishes the majority of the world's diamonds.
