{"product_id":"oval-cut-lab-grown-diamond-six-claw-solitaire-ring","title":"Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Six Claw Solitaire Ring in Silver, 10K, 14K and 18K Gold","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn oval cut laboratory grown diamond held in six claws on a fine, plain band. Two extra claws compared with a standard four claw solitaire, placed to cover the ends of the oval, give it more security and a slightly softer, rounder outline on the finger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentre stone: Oval 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: Six claw solitaire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBand: Fine and plain\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\u003eFour claws or six\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA four claw setting holds an oval at its sides and shows the most diamond. A six claw setting adds a claw at each end of the stone, so the tips of the oval, which are its most exposed edges, are covered. If one claw is ever knocked or worn, five are still holding the stone rather than three.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is a look to it as well. Six claws frame the oval more evenly, so the outline of the stone reads a little rounder and softer against the finger. It is the classic choice for people who want an oval solitaire with a bit more reassurance and a bit more metal detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA fine band\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band is slim and plain on purpose. A thin shank makes the centre stone look larger by contrast, it stacks easily with a wedding band, and because nothing is set into it, it can be resized freely for the life of the ring. With an oval, which already spreads wider than a round of the same weight, the effect is a stone that looks generous on a delicate ring.\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 fine band with six claws, the metal is visible as a delicate frame. Yellow gold gives the warm, classic solitaire look, white metal almost disappears around the stone, and rose gold softens it. 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. It is included free with every metal and every carat weight.\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 claw is positioned for the exact outline of your centre stone, then the stone is set and the ring is finished by hand for your carat weight and finger size. 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 will keep it bright. Brush underneath the stone, where soap collects and dulls the light coming back through the pavilion. Check the claws once or twice a year, as with any claw set ring. Take it off for the gym, gardening and swimming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCustom orders\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe can change the prongs, the band or the setting of this design.
