This one refuses the symmetry twice over. First, the two rails are not the same. One is a plain polished rail and the other carries a continuous run of pavé, so the two sides of the split read differently as the ring turns on the hand. Second, the rails do not run parallel. They open away from each other into long lens shaped voids, then draw together again, and at each of those meeting points the goldsmith has set a single marquise diamond laid crosswise, spanning from one rail to the other. Those marquise stones are not decoration added on top. They are the structural bridges holding the two rails at the right distance, so the ring is genuinely built out of diamonds at those points rather than out of metal. The effect from above is a shank that appears to be woven from two different materials, with diamond rungs where they meet, and a great deal of open space letting skin show through.\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 over an open gallery, 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 pavé set in a continuous run along one rail of the split shank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarquise cut lab grown diamonds set crosswise as bridges where the two rails draw together\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe second rail is plain polished metal with no stones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll accents E to F colour, VS clarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal accent weight approximately 0.60 carat, scaled to the centre stone you choose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBand details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA shank that splits into two unequal rails, one plain polished and one pavé set, opening into long lens shaped voids and drawing together at marquise diamond bridges.

Every metal is fully hallmarked.

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\u003eWhat is a split shank\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe band divides into two separate rails before reaching the setting instead of arriving as one piece. It lets light and skin show through, which makes the metal look lighter and the centre stone look larger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is one rail plain and the other paved\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo the two sides of the split read differently as the ring turns. Two matching paved rails flatten into a single wide bright band and the split stops being visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat do the marquise stones do\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey span from one rail to the other where the two draw together, so they hold the rails at the correct distance. They are structural bridges rather than surface decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is this different from your other split shank rings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur others use a split cathedral with inner pavé, a split shank under a metal plate halo, or a bezel over a split shank with triangular voids. This is the only one with unequal rails bridged by marquise diamonds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill a wedding band sit flush against it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot a straight band, because the rails open outward at the shoulders. A contour band shaped to follow the split nests neatly, and we can make one to match.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this ring be resized\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnly slightly. Cutting the shank interrupts both rails and the pavé run, 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\u003eThis design needs a matched pavé run and matched marquise bridges beside a fine centre stone, and any variation in the small stones would be obvious against the plain rail beside them. Lab grown material gives a matched set, so an E colour VVS2 oval of two to five carats sits above consistent accents, 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.
