{"product_id":"oval-cut-lab-grown-diamond-dainty-distance-pave-ring","title":"Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Dainty Distance Pave Engagement Ring in Silver, 10K, 14K and 18K Gold","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn oval laboratory grown diamond on a band so fine it almost disappears, with a handful of small round diamonds set at intervals along the shoulders rather than packed edge to edge. The gaps between them are the point. Each accent sits alone in its own bead setting, so the band reads as a line of separate sparks instead of a solid strip of pave.\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: Four claw oval on a fine band with spaced distance pave\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\u003eWhy the band is so thin\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA narrow band makes the centre stone look larger. There is less metal competing with the diamond, and the eye has nothing to measure the oval against except the finger. On a 2 carat stone the effect is noticeable. On a 4 or 5 carat stone it is dramatic, because the band nearly vanishes and the diamond appears to float.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDistance pave explained\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrdinary pave sets stones shoulder to shoulder in a continuous row. Distance pave, sometimes called spaced or scattered pave, leaves polished metal between each stone. It uses fewer diamonds, it is easier to keep clean because there are no tight seams to trap dust, and it suits a delicate band that could not structurally carry a full row.\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. On a band this fine we would gently steer you towards 10K or 14K, which are harder alloys and hold a thin shank better over years of daily wear. Rose gold is particularly lovely here because the warm metal reads as a thread of colour against the stone. 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. Each spaced accent is drilled and beaded by hand under a microscope. 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. A thin band cleans up quickly because there is nowhere for dirt to hide. 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 spaced accents are matched to the same grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a thin band strong enough for a 5 carat stone?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, but choose 10K or 14K rather than 18K if you want the most rigid shank, and expect to have it checked every couple of years like any fine band.\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 shank is straight and slim, so almost any band sits close.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, within a size or two. The accents stop well before the back of the band.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2
