{"product_id":"oval-cut-lab-grown-diamond-art-deco-baguette-cluster-ring","title":"Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Art Deco Cluster Engagement Ring with Baguette Shoulders in Silver, 10K, 14K and 18K Gold","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn oval laboratory grown diamond with a small stepped cluster running away from it on each shoulder. A tapered baguette sits against the centre stone, then a second, narrower baguette beyond it, so the shoulders descend in flat planes towards the band. The geometry is deliberately architectural. This is the deco end of our oval collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentre stone: Oval brilliant 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 oval with graduated baguette clusters on both shoulders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccent stones: Baguette and tapered baguette 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\u003eBrilliant cut against step cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe oval is a brilliant cut, which means dozens of triangular and kite shaped facets throwing light back in small bright flashes. The baguettes are step cut, long parallel facets that behave more like mirrors. Putting the two next to each other is an old jeweller's trick. The still, glassy baguettes make the busy oval look brighter by comparison.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere the deco look comes from\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNineteen twenties and thirties jewellery loved straight lines, symmetry and stones arranged in steps. That is exactly what the shoulders do here. If you like vintage shapes but do not want milgrain, filigree or engraving, this is the cleaner way to get a period feel.\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 gives the warm, antique reading shown in these photographs. White gold or silver pushes the same design towards a colder, more modern deco. 10K is the hardest alloy, 14K is the everyday balance, and 18K is the richest colour but the softest 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.\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. Step cut stones are unforgiving to set, because a baguette that sits even slightly crooked is obvious against a straight line of metal. Each one is aligned by hand. 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 along the steps of the shoulders, following the line rather than across it. Take it 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 is the diamond?\u003c\/strong\u003e Every centre stone is E colour and VVS2 clarity, on every metal and every carat weight. The baguettes are matched to the same grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo baguettes show inclusions more than brilliants?\u003c\/strong\u003e They can, because step cuts hide less. That is exactly why we use VVS2 here rather than a lower clarity.\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 cluster steps down to band height, so a straight band meets it cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The stones finish at the shoulders and the rest of the shank is plain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2
