A true three stone ring: the sides are the same shape as the centre, just smaller.\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: Three stone, claw set, on a plain band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide stones: Two oval 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\u003eThree ovals in a row\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost three stone rings pair a centre stone with a different shape at the sides, which creates contrast. Repeating the same shape does the opposite: the eye reads one long continuous run of diamond across the finger, and the ring looks considerably wider than the centre stone alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSet level, not stepped\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll three tables finish at the same height. That takes more work at the bench, because the three stones have different depths and each needs its own seat, but it is what makes the row read as a single object rather than a large stone with two smaller ones bolted beside it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat three stones traditionally mean\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePast, present and future. It is a Victorian idea rather than an ancient one, but it has stuck, and it is why the three stone ring remains the most common alternative to a solitaire for an engagement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOn the bow tie\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery oval carries a faint dark band across its centre, caused by the way facets shadow themselves in an elongated brilliant. With three ovals side by side a mismatch is obvious, so all three are selected together and any stone with a pronounced bow tie is rejected.\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, and in white metal in one image, 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. Both side ovals 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. The side stones are cut to proportions that suit the centre rather than picked from stock, and all three are set together so the tops finish level and the gaps stay even. Allow two to three weeks for making, plus shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the photographs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome photographs show this ring with stacking bands or worn alongside another ring. Those pieces are separate and are not included. The ring box shown is our standard packaging and comes with every order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLooking after it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWarm water, mild washing up liquid and a soft toothbrush, brushing behind all three stones and into the two joins. 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 All three ovals are E colour and VVS2 clarity, on every metal and every carat weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the carat weight include the side stones?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat options refer to the centre oval. The two side ovals 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 Yes. The band is plain and the stones sit above it, so a straight band meets it cleanly on either side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, at the back. One or two sizes either way is straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I have larger side stones?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. Tell us the proportions you want and we will quote it; some people prefer the three closer in size, which makes a bolder ring.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling
