A contoured wedding band, shaped to nest against the outline, completes the set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis is a bridal set: engagement ring and matching contoured wedding band, both included\u003c\/li\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 inside a double halo, the outer row radiating into points\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccent stones: Round and marquise 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\u003eTwo halos doing different jobs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe inner halo is a tight ring of small round diamonds, set close to the girdle. Its job is to extend the outline of the oval and make the centre read larger. The outer halo is a looser arrangement of marquise and round stones pointing outward, and its job is shape: it turns a circle into something closer to a star. Together they give the ring a spread far beyond its centre stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere this comes from\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDouble halo cluster rings with radiating outer stones were a Victorian and Edwardian idea, made when large single diamonds were rare and jewellers built size from many small stones instead. The construction survives because it works, and because it produces a ring that looks like nothing that can be bought in a chain store.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe contoured band\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA straight band cannot sit against an outline like this. The wedding band is cut to follow the lower edge of the outer halo, dipping and rising so the two rings touch along their whole length. It is shaped against your finished engagement ring rather than to a template.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy colour matching matters here\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are a great many accent stones, and they sit in direct contact with the centre diamond. If any of them were warmer in colour the centre would read grey, and with this many stones the effect compounds quickly. Every accent on both rings is matched to the same E colour and VVS2 clarity as the centre.\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. Both rings are made in the same metal. Rose and yellow gold are photographed here, and warm metal between the outer points is what separates them into individual rays rather than a solid mass. 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 set 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\u003eAbout the bow tie\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery oval has the potential for a bow tie, a dark band across the middle caused by the proportions of the cut rather than by colour or clarity. No certificate grades it. We check each oval by eye and reject the ones that show it.\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. There are well over fifty individual settings on this pair of rings, every one cut and closed by hand under a microscope. It is the most labour intensive design in the catalogue. 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, used more often than you would on a plain ring. With two halos and a nested band there are many places for lotion and soap to collect, particularly underneath the outer points and along the join between the rings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions we are asked\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the price include both rings?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. Every price on this page is for the engagement ring and the contoured wedding band together.\u003c\/p\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. All accents are matched to the same grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the carat weight include the halos?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat options refer to the centre oval. Both halos and the band stones are 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 it feel heavy or catch on things?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is wider than a solitaire but not tall. The halos spread outward rather than upward, so the profile stays low.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e Both rings take about one size either way at most. Because the contoured band must stay aligned with the engagement ring, we would strongly prefer to build to your size.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/
