From above you see the marquise alone, its two points sharp against the metal. From the side the hidden halo shows as a band of light under the stone.\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: Six claw with V claws at both points, hidden halo in the basket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccent stones: Round brilliant laboratory grown diamonds in the hidden halo and pave band, E colour, VVS2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBand: Pave set shoulders, plain at the back\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\u003eWhy a marquise should not wear a visible halo\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe whole character of a marquise is its two sharp points and the long narrow curve between them. Ring it with stones and that outline disappears into a blob. Putting the halo underneath keeps the silhouette intact while still adding the light, which is the only way to get both on this shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBoth points are protected\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA marquise has two tips, each thin and each vulnerable, so it has twice the chip risk of a pear. Both are held in V claws that wrap the point from either side rather than sitting on top. This is not optional on a marquise, whatever a cheaper setting might suggest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe longest looking shape there is\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarat for carat a marquise covers more finger than any other cut, because the weight is spread along a narrow outline rather than concentrated in depth. A 2 carat marquise looks larger than a 2 carat round by a clear margin, and it makes the finger look longer while doing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePave that stops halfway\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shoulder stones run about halfway down each side and then the band goes plain. Stones set under the finger take the abrasion, wear loose first and make the ring impossible to size without cutting through set metal. Stopping the pave keeps the sparkle where you see it and leaves solid metal at the back.\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. 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. The hidden halo and pave are matched to the same E and VVS2 grade, which matters here because light from the halo passes up through the centre stone.\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 hidden halo goes into the basket before the head is joined to the shank, since it cannot be reached afterwards, and the V claws are formed to the individual stone's points. 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, brushing upward into the basket from underneath as well as along the pave. A hidden halo collects hand cream where you cannot see it, and when it is dirty the centre stone goes dull for no apparent reason. Check both V claws once a year. Take the ring 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, the hidden halo and all the pave 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 halo and pave?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat options refer to the centre marquise. Everything else is in addition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the marquise have a bow tie?\u003c\/strong\u003e Every marquise has some dark band across the middle. It is more pronounced on this shape than on an oval, and ours are selected so it stays faint in normal light.\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?\u003c\/strong\u003e The hidden halo lifts the stone slightly and the points extend past the shank, so a straight band leaves a gap. A contoured band closes it, and we make those to match.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, at the back where the band is plain. One or two sizes either way is straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2
