Face up it reads as a plain band with a floating oval on it. From the side the shank divides about a third of the way up each shoulder, and the two arms sweep apart and rise as a cathedral arch to meet the basket. In the V shaped opening created by that split there is a row of tiny pave diamonds set along the inner edge, so light appears in the gap between the arms where you would expect shadow. Combined with the hidden halo circling the basket just below the girdle, the effect is that the underside of the ring is brighter than the top of the shank, and the oval appears to be held up on light rather than on metal. Practically, the split also does what a cathedral always does, which is raise the stone clear of the finger so the pavilion is not pressed against skin and the diamond stays bright in low light.\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 on a hidden halo basket, raised on a cathedral arch, set north to south\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAccent stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA concealed halo of round brilliants around the basket, below the girdle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine pave round brilliants along the inner edge of the split shank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor grade: E to F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarity grade: VS or better\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe outer face of the shank is left plain and polished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBand details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shank is round in section and polished bright on its outer face.

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\u003eWhat is a cathedral setting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe shoulders of the ring rise in arches to meet the setting rather than running straight into it, which lifts the stone above the finger. The name comes from the resemblance to the arches of a cathedral nave.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a split shank\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe band divides into two arms as it approaches the head instead of continuing as a single bar. It widens the look of the ring at the top without adding bulk at the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is the pave\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlong the inner edge of the split, facing into the V shaped opening, and around the hidden halo. None of it is on the outer face of the band, so the ring looks plain from directly above.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes a raised setting catch on things more\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSlightly, which is the trade off for the extra brightness a raised stone gives. The claws are tapered and burnished so nothing stands proud.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this ring be resized\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, at the plain back section, by two or three sizes. The split and the pave are unaffected.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does the ring take to make\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe split, the arch and two runs of pave are all worked by hand, so allow eighteen to twenty two working days before dispatch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy a lab grown diamond\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cathedral setting exists to show the stone off from every angle, including from the side and from below. Lab grown material lets us put an E colour VVS2 oval of two to five carats in a mount designed to expose it completely, 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.
