Instead of a plain collar of metal, the underside of the head is shaped into four petals that swell outward below the girdle and then draw back in as they meet the shank, so that seen from the side the setting has the profile of a closed tulip. The petals are pierced between each claw, which is what stops the shape reading as heavy. It is a nineteenth century form and it survives because it solves a real problem. A large oval needs a deep basket to hold its pavilion, and a deep basket made as a straight cylinder looks like a bucket from the side. Curving the walls outward and then inward gives the same depth with a silhouette that flatters the stone, and the piercing between the petals lets light into the pavilion from below rather than trapping it against a solid wall. Above the basket the four claws are drawn fine and folded over the girdle so the outline of the oval is barely interrupted. The shank is left completely plain, slim, round in section and polished bright, because a decorated basket and a decorated band would be arguing with each other.\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 fine claws rising from a pierced tulip basket, set north to south\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAccent stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis is a true solitaire.

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 tulip basket\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe metal cage beneath the stone is shaped into four curved petals that swell outward below the girdle and taper back in toward the shank, giving the profile of a closed tulip rather than a straight walled cylinder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it do anything besides look better\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The curve gives the depth a large oval needs without visual bulk, and the piercing between the petals lets light reach the pavilion from underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill I actually see it once the ring is on\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom above, no. From the side and whenever the hand turns, yes, and it is the part most owners end up pointing out to people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is the shank left completely plain\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause the basket is the ornament. Adding pave or engraving to the band would compete with it and the shape would be lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this ring be resized\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, easily and by several sizes, because there is nothing set into the shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does the ring take to make\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe basket is shaped and pierced by hand, so allow sixteen to twenty working days before dispatch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy a lab grown diamond\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn open pierced basket exposes the pavilion of the stone from underneath as well as the crown from above, so there is nowhere for a tint or an inclusion to hide. Lab grown material lets us set an E colour VVS2 oval of two to five carats in a mount built to show it from every side, 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.
