In pave each small stone gets its own ring of beads and the metal between them is what you see. Here every claw does double duty, gripping the stone on its left and the stone on its right at the same time, which means the accents can sit almost edge to edge. Because the stones can be considerably larger than pave and still fit a slim shank, the band returns real fire rather than a fine glitter, and the row reads as a line of individual diamonds instead of a texture. It also changes what happens in low light. Pave depends on many small facets catching a bright source. Larger shared prong stones keep working under ordinary indoor light because each one has enough depth to gather and return it. The trade off is that shared claws must be perfectly proportioned, since one claw failing would loosen two stones rather than one, which is why we cut them from the shank itself rather than adding them afterwards. The head is set with six claws and the gallery beneath is left plain and open, with no halo.\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 on a plain open gallery, set north to south\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAccent stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubstantial round brilliants along the shank, each claw shared between two neighbouring stones\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\u003eThere is no halo, hidden or visible, on this ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBand details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shank is slim and shared prong set along its visible length, with the claws cut from the metal of the band itself.

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 shared prong setting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach claw holds two stones at once, gripping the one on its left and the one on its right. It lets the accents sit almost edge to edge with very little metal showing between them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is it different from pave\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePave uses many small stones each held by its own beads, and you see the metal between them. Shared prong uses fewer, larger stones set almost touching, so the band returns real fire rather than fine glitter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it hold up as well as pave\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, provided the claws are cut from the shank itself rather than added on, which is how we make them. We check and tighten every setting free of charge for life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy are there no halo stones\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis design puts its accent weight into the band rather than around the head, so the oval is presented on its own outline with nothing reflecting into it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this ring be resized\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWithin about two sizes using the solid section at the palm. Beyond that the claw spacing changes, so we prefer to rebuild the shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does the ring take to make\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach shared claw is cut and shaped before setting begins, so allow eighteen to twenty two working days before dispatch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy a lab grown diamond\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLarger accents set almost touching are read individually rather than as a mass, so a stone even slightly warmer than its neighbours is obvious. Lab grown material lets us cut every diamond on the ring to one grade, 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.
