The band does not run in a straight line. It swells and narrows the way a real stem does, kinks slightly where a shoot would leave it, and carries a fine line of pave that follows every one of those curves rather than sitting in a straight channel. Under the centre stone a hidden halo circles the basket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSetting pave along an irregular line is much harder than setting it along a straight one, because every stone has to be seated at a slightly different angle so the row still reads as continuous. That is the reason this shank looks alive rather than merely decorated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCenter stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: Oval cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone type: Lab grown diamond, IGI certified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarat weight: 2, 3, 4 or 5 carat, selected at checkout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor grade: E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarity grade: VVS2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut and polish: Excellent make, excellent luster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting: Sculpted claw prongs rising from the branch, over a pave collared basket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertification: IGI certificate of the center stone is included at no extra charge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAccent stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHidden halo of round brilliant lab grown diamonds circling the basket beneath the oval\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine pave following the curve of the branch along both sides of the shank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccents matched to the center stone for color and clarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach pave stone individually seated to sit flush with the moving line of the band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBand details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shank is modelled on a branch, thicker where it meets the head and tapering away with a natural bend partway down each shoulder. It is finished by hand so the surface keeps a soft organic quality rather than the flat machine polish of a plain band.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMetal options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose from 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K and 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. Yellow gold gives the branch the warm colour of new wood and is the most natural pairing. Rose gold reads softer. White gold and sterling silver make the same shape look sculptural and modern rather than botanical. Every metal is finished by hand in our workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRing size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is available in a full range of US sizes. Select your size at checkout.

Ask us about a pear or round centre on the same branch, leaf accents added to the shoulders, a different carat weight, an engraving inside the shank or a matching branch wedding band.

It is invisible from directly above and gives the ring a bright collar when seen from the side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a branch shank comfortable to wear?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The bends are gentle and every surface is polished smooth, so it feels no different on the finger than a plain band. It is also slightly thicker at the top, which helps a heavier centre stone stay upright.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes an oval look bigger than a round?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. For the same carat weight an oval spreads further across the finger, so it reads larger face up than a round brilliant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a lab grown diamond a real diamond?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. A lab grown diamond has the same carbon crystal structure, hardness, refractive index and fire as a mined diamond. The only difference is that it was grown in a controlled environment rather than pulled from the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill I receive a certificate?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. An IGI certificate for the center stone is included with every order at no additional cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat wedding band suits this ring?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause the shank curves, a straight band will meet it at only one point. We recommend a matching branch or contoured band, which we can make to nest into this exact shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich metal is best for daily wear?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e14K and 18K gold are the most durable choices for a ring worn every day. 10K is harder still. Sterling silver is softer and suits gentler wear or a first ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy a lab grown diamond\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA lab grown diamond gives you the same optical and physical properties as a mined stone at a far better price for the size and quality. Because the growth conditions are controlled, high color and high clarity stones like the E VVS2 used here are available in large carat weights that would be rare and costly in mined goods. It is also a traceable choice, with a known origin and no mining footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur services\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIGI certificate of the center stone included free with every ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade to order in the metal, carat weight and size you choose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull range of US ring sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom design and matching wedding bands on request\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand finishing and quality inspection before dispatch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecure insured worldwide shipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Mapple Gems\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a fine jewelry maker based in Surat, India, a city that has cut and polished diamonds for generations.
