The three outlines meet to form a four pointed star that sits flat on the hand. It is a three stone ring, but it does not look like any of the others.\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 centre with two marquise side stones set east west\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccent stones: Marquise cut 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 star outline\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost three stone rings run all three stones in the same direction, so the ring reads as one long line. Here the two side marquises are turned ninety degrees and set across the finger, points outward. The result is a cross, or a stylised flower, depending on how you look at it. It gives the ring width as well as length, and it fills a finger far beyond what the carat weight alone would suggest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy marquise sides rather than pears or trillions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarquise side stones taper to a point at both ends, so they tuck against the curve of the centre stone with no gap and no filler metal. Pear sides leave a rounded end that has to be masked. Trillions sit flat and blunt. The marquise is the only common shape that mirrors the centre stone exactly, which is what makes the star read cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSet low, worn easily\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe whole head sits close to the finger. Because the side stones spread outwards rather than upwards, the ring has presence without height, and it will pass under a glove or a coat sleeve without catching. Each of the six points on the three stones sits inside a v claw.\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 and makes the three colourless stones read as one continuous shape. In yellow or rose gold the star outline stands out more sharply against the metal. 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 two side marquises 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. The two side stones are selected to match the centre in colour and in the angle of the taper, then the head is built around all three at once so the points line up. 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. Brush underneath the head where the three stones meet. Check the outer points of the side stones now and then, as those sit at the widest part of the ring.\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. Both side marquises are matched to the same grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the carat weight include the side stones?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat options refer to the centre marquise. The side stones are in addition and are scaled to suit the centre.\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 The side stones sit low, so a straight band tucks underneath them without a gap on most fingers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The shank is plain metal, so one or two sizes either way is straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2
