Different shapes sit next to each other at slightly different heights, a baguette against a round, a marquise angled away from the band, so the shoulders look gathered rather than measured out. It is how cluster rings were made a century ago, and it gives a modern oval an antique setting to sit in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy it wears larger than it weighs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the shoulders climb towards the centre stone, the whole top of the ring is covered in diamond rather than just the middle. From a normal viewing distance the oval and its shoulders read as one wide shape, which is why this design looks substantial even at two carats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe oval cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA brilliant cut stretched into an ellipse. It keeps the fire of a round while covering more of the finger, and its long soft outline is the easiest shape to blend into shoulders full of small stones.\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. This ring was photographed in yellow gold, which suits the antique style of the shoulders, but 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 shoulder 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 shoulder stone gets its own seat cut at its own angle, because none of them sit the same way, and the baguettes have to line up straight against curved neighbours. It is slow work, and it is the difference between a cluster that looks designed and one that looks crowded. Allow two to three weeks for making, plus shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the photographs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome of the lifestyle photographs show other jewellery worn alongside this ring. Those pieces are separate and are not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLooking after it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWarm water, mild washing up liquid and a soft toothbrush, working between the shoulder stones and behind the oval. A cluster holds more hand cream than a plain setting, so clean it a little more often. 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 are the diamonds?\u003c\/strong\u003e The centre oval and every accent 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 shoulders?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat options refer to the centre oval. The shoulder diamonds are in addition and are scaled to suit it.\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 Not completely, since the shoulders are raised where they meet the band. A shaped band follows the line properly, and we will make one to match if you ask.\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\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I have these shoulders with an emerald cut instead?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, we make that version too, and the same shoulders suit an elongated cushion.
