The stone is the only large thing on the ring, and the pave exists to give it a bright line to sit on.\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: Claw set marquise with v claws at both points, on a pave set band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccent stones: Round laboratory grown diamonds, E colour, VVS2\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 pave band\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRound diamonds run down both shoulders and continue round the shank, held in shared claws with very little metal showing between them. From a normal distance the band reads as one continuous line of light. It is the most straightforward way to make a ring brighter without putting anything near the centre stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy pave rather than a halo on a marquise\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA marquise is chosen for its outline: long, pointed, the largest face up area of any common cut. A halo would ring that outline with small stones and blur it. Pave on the shank leaves the silhouette completely clean and puts the extra sparkle where it cannot compete.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBoth points guarded\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA marquise has two tips, the thinnest and most vulnerable part of the stone. Each sits inside a v claw that wraps around the edges either side of the point rather than pressing down on it. The remaining claws are kept narrow so they interrupt the long curve of the girdle as little as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe largest spread of any cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVery little of a marquise's weight sits in depth, so almost all of it is visible from above. That gives it the largest face up area of any common cut at a given carat weight. Set lengthwise, as here, it stretches the finger further than any other shape.\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. White gold is photographed here, which lets the pave read as light rather than as metal and keeps the whole ring in one colour. In yellow or rose gold the individual accents separate more. 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 pave diamonds are matched to the same E and VVS2 grade.\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. Every pave stone is set by hand under a microscope, and the two v claws are formed to the exact angle of the points on your individual stone. 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. Work the brush along the pave on both sides and underneath the centre stone. Check the v claws at both points now and then, since the tips take the knocks.\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. The pave stones are matched to the same grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the carat weight include the pave?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat options refer to the centre marquise. The pave is in addition.\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 stone runs along the finger rather than across it, so a straight band meets the shank cleanly on both sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e Within about one size. The pave covers much of the shank, so there is limited plain metal to work with.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2
