This one refuses them completely, and that is the whole point. The leaves are sculpted out of solid metal, each one modelled with a raised central rib and a slight twist along its length so it curls away from the shank rather than lying flat against it, and they are finished bright so they catch light along the curve the way a real leaf catches it along the fold. Because there are no stones to carry the detail, everything depends on the modelling: the depth of the rib, the thickness at the stem against the thinness at the tip, and the way the two strands of the shank pass through each other before opening into the leaf forms. Get any of that wrong and the ring reads as lumpy metal. Done properly it has a quality no paved vine can have, which is quietness. On the hand it is a large sculptural ring that never sparkles anywhere except at the centre stone, so the diamond has no competition at all.\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: six claws rising from the vine strands, set north to south\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAccent stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis design carries no accent stones at all.

Every metal is fully hallmarked. White gold is shown in the photographs. Because the entire design is metal, the colour you choose changes this ring more than any other in the collection, and yellow or rose gold gives the leaves a much warmer, more organic reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRing size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ring is made to your finger size.

Write to us through https:\/\/mapplegems.com\/pages\/contact and our workshop will prepare a quotation and a rendering before any metal is cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a lab grown diamond a real diamond\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. 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\u003eWhy are there no diamonds in the leaves\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo the ring sparkles in exactly one place. A sculpted metal leaf catches light along its curve rather than scattering it, which leaves the centre stone as the only bright point on the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is this different from your other vine and leaf rings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll the others set diamonds or lab emeralds into the leaves, or pavé the vine itself. This is the only one modelled entirely in solid metal with no accent stones at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes a plain metal design look less valuable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt looks different rather than lesser. The cost here is in modelling and hand finishing rather than in melee diamonds, and a well modelled leaf is harder to make convincingly than a paved one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the polished leaves scratch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePolished surfaces pick up fine marks over years of wear. Repolishing during servicing restores them and is included for life. A brushed finish, which we can apply instead, hides marks better.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich metal colour suits this design best\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYellow and rose gold read most organically because warm metal looks like a natural form. White gold and silver make it read as a more modern sculptural piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this ring be resized\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnly slightly. Cutting the shank interrupts the looping strands, so for larger changes we prefer to remake the band at the correct size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy a lab grown diamond\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith no accent stones anywhere, the entire diamond budget goes into one stone, and that stone is the only thing on the ring that sparkles. Lab grown material is how an E colour VVS2 oval of two to five carats with excellent cut and polish takes that position at this price, 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.
