{"product_id":"oval-cut-lab-grown-diamond-swirl-ring-with-accents","title":"Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Sculptural Swirl Engagement Ring with Pear Accents in Silver, 10K, 14K and 18K Gold","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn oval laboratory grown diamond set on the diagonal inside a swirling band, with a smaller pear cut tucked into the curve above it and another below. The shank leaves the finger, sweeps past the centre stone and drops away again, so the three diamonds sit inside one continuous line of metal rather than on top of a shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentre stone: Oval brilliant laboratory grown diamond, set on the diagonal\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: Sculptural swirl with the oval set diagonally and pear accents in the curve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccent stones: Pear cut 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\u003eSet on the diagonal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe oval sits neither upright along the finger nor flat across it, but at an angle between the two. That tilt is what lets the swirl pass behind the stone without crowding it, and it gives the ring an off centre balance that reads as designed rather than accidental. Worn, the stone points across the back of the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere the accents go\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two pears are not on the shoulders in the usual way. They fill the hollows where the swirl changes direction, one above the oval and one below, pointing outward along the line of the curve. Putting them there means the metal never looks empty and the eye travels around the ring instead of stopping dead at the centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThree brilliants, one rhythm\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe oval and both pears are brilliant cut, so all three scatter light the same way. What separates them is size and direction, not behaviour, which is what keeps a busy design from looking like a cluster of unrelated stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe points are guarded\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach pear tip sits inside a claw that wraps the two edges meeting at the point rather than pressing down on it, and both accents are angled so their points follow the curve of the metal rather than standing proud of it.\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 is photographed here, and on a design where the polished sweep of metal is half the ring, the alloy matters: 10K holds a polish hardest, 14K is the everyday balance, 18K gives the deepest colour. 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. Both pear accents are matched to the same E and VVS2 grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the bow tie\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery oval and every pear can show a bow tie, a dark band across the middle of the stone caused by the proportions of the cut rather than by colour or clarity. No certificate grades it. We check all three stones 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. The swirl is formed and polished before any stone goes near it, since a curve like this cannot be corrected afterwards, and the diagonal angle of the oval is set to your particular stone. 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. Work into the hollows where the pears sit and along the inside of the curve behind the oval. 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 pear accents are matched to the same grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the carat weight include the accents?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat options refer to the centre oval. The two pear accents are in addition and are scaled to suit the centre you choose.\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 No, not flat. The swirl crosses the band at an angle. A curved or open band nests against it, or wear this ring alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e Only slightly, because the curve is formed to a specific finger size. Please measure carefully and we will build to your size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it sit high on the finger?\u003c\/strong\u003e Higher than a plain solitaire but not dramatically. The stones sit within the sweep of the band rather than lifted above it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2
