This does neither. The stones alternate between two clearly different sizes, large then small then large then small, so instead of a run that fades out the shoulders carry a rhythm that keeps returning. That distinction matters more than it sounds. A graduated run has a direction and tells the eye to travel inward towards the centre stone. An alternating run has no direction at all, it simply repeats, so the shoulders read as a decorative pattern in their own right rather than as an approach to the main event. Setting each stone individually with metal showing between is what allows the two sizes to stay legible; crowd them together and the small ones read as gaps rather than as diamonds. Every accent sits in its own claws with the girdle open on both sides, so even the smallest of them takes light properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCenter stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone type: lab grown diamond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: oval brilliant cut\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSymmetry: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting: four claws, set north to south\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAccent stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound brilliant cut lab grown diamonds in two distinctly different sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet alternately, a large stone followed by a small one, repeating down each shoulder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach accent individually claw set with plain polished metal between\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGirdles left open on both sides so even the smallest stones take light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eE to F colour, VS clarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal accent weight approximately 0.40 carat, scaled to the centre stone you choose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBand details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA fine round shank carrying the alternating accents down both shoulders and running plain and polished across the palm.

It has the same carbon crystal structure, the same hardness of 10 on the Mohs scale and the same optical behaviour as a mined diamond, and it is graded on the same scales by the same laboratories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the ring come with a certificate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. An IGI certificate for the center stone is included at no extra charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is this different from your other spaced accent ring\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe other graduates three rounds per shoulder, steadily smaller travelling outward, which gives the run a direction. This one alternates two distinct sizes so the pattern repeats rather than fades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy alternate two sizes rather than graduate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA graduated run points the eye inward towards the centre stone. An alternating run has no direction, so the shoulders read as a pattern in their own right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy are the stones spaced apart\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo both sizes stay legible. Crowd them together and the small stones read as gaps between the large ones rather than as diamonds in their own right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo the small accents actually sparkle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Each sits in its own claws with the girdle open on both sides, so light reaches it from underneath as well as above, which a bead set stone of the same size would not get.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill a wedding band sit flush against it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBroadly yes. The accents sit low and the palm side is plain, so a straight band meets it cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this ring be resized\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, comfortably. The plain section across the palm is where a sizing cut is made.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy a lab grown diamond\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndividually set accents are seen one at a time rather than as a mass, so any variation in colour between them is obvious, and using two sizes doubles the matching problem. Lab grown material solves it, so an E colour VVS2 oval of two to five carats sits above accents that read as one family, in fully hallmarked metal, with a traceable origin and no mining.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur services\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIGI certificate for the center stone included at no extra cost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade to order in any size in our range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree resizing within the first year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsured worldwide shipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime cleaning and polishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom design service for changes to any element of this ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Mapple Gems\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a jewellery workshop in Surat, India, the city where a large share of the world's diamonds are cut and polished.
