There are no accent stones anywhere on the ring. The only decoration is the shaped metal under the diamond, and you see it from the side rather than from above.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe basket is the cage that sits between the stone and the shank, and on most rings it is treated as pure structure, four plain walls doing a job nobody is meant to look at. Carving it into petals turns that structure into the detail of the ring. It also removes weight without weakening anything, because the openings between the petals sit exactly where a basket carries no load, which means more light reaches the pavilion of the diamond from below. It is decoration that works harder than pave, and unlike pave it will never need a stone re-tightened.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCenter stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: Oval cut, elongated brilliant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone type: Lab grown diamond, IGI certified\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 make, excellent luster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting: Claw set on a sculpted open basket carved into overlapping petals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertification: IGI certificate of the center stone is included at no extra charge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBand details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shank is fine, plain and rounded, with a mirror polish and no stones. It rises cleanly into the base of the petal basket without a gallery rail, so the carved detail is the only thing that breaks the line of the ring in profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMetal options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose from 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K and 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. Yellow gold is shown here and it is the best choice for this design, because carved detail needs shadow to read and warm metal throws the most visible shadow. Rose gold does the same slightly more softly. White gold and sterling silver flatten the carving, so if you want the petals to be obvious we would steer you toward gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRing size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is available in a full range of US sizes.

On most rings it is plain. Here it is carved into overlapping petals so it becomes a feature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the carving weaken the setting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. The openings sit where a basket carries no structural load, so the head is as strong as a solid one while using less metal and letting more light through.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy choose a carved basket instead of a hidden halo?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth add interest to the profile of the ring. A carved basket does it in metal alone, which means nothing to keep clean between stones and nothing that can ever loosen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes an oval look bigger than a round diamond?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. An oval spreads the same carat weight over a longer surface, so it shows a larger face, and the elongated outline makes the finger look slimmer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a lab grown diamond a real diamond?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. A lab grown diamond has the same carbon crystal structure, hardness, refractive index and fire as a mined diamond. The only difference is that it was grown in a controlled environment rather than pulled from the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill I receive a certificate?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. An IGI certificate for the center stone is included with every order at no additional cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean a carved basket?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWarm soapy water and a soft toothbrush, worked up into the openings from underneath. An open basket is far easier to clean than a solid one because you can reach the back of the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy a lab grown diamond\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA lab grown diamond gives you the same optical and physical properties as a mined stone at a far better price for the size and quality. Because the growth conditions are controlled, high color and high clarity stones like the E VVS2 used here are available in large carat weights that would be rare and costly in mined goods. It is also a traceable choice, with a known origin and no mining footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur services\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIGI certificate of the center stone included free with every ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade to order in the metal, carat weight and size you choose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull range of US ring sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom design and matching wedding bands on request\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand finishing and quality inspection before dispatch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecure insured worldwide shipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Mapple Gems\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a fine jewelry maker based in Surat, India, a city that has cut and polished diamonds for generations.
