A tapered baguette is a long rectangular step cut whose two long sides are not parallel, so the stone is wider at one end than the other and narrows as it runs away from the centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the oldest device in three stone design and it exists to solve a specific problem. Side stones have to bridge the gap between a wide centre stone and a narrow shank, and a rectangular or round side stone makes that transition in one abrupt step. A tapered baguette makes it gradually, because its own outline is already doing the narrowing. The eye follows the taper down from the widest point of the oval to the width of the band without ever meeting an edge, which is why this arrangement has stayed in continuous use since the nineteen twenties while most three stone fashions have come and gone.\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 an open basket\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\u003eSide stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo tapered baguette cut lab grown diamonds, one on each side of the oval\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStep cut with long parallel facets, so they give broad flashes rather than fine sparkle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet with the wide end against the centre stone, narrowing toward the shank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatched to the center stone in color and clarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBand details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shank is a plain polished band, kept narrow so the tapered baguettes can carry the width down to it without a visible step. It is left free of stones, which means it resizes easily and can be engraved inside.\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 warm metal separates the three white stones clearly so the taper is easy to read. Rose gold does the same more softly. White gold and sterling silver let the baguettes flow into the oval so the trio reads as one tapering form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRing size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is available in a full range of US sizes.

Set with the wide end against the centre stone, it carries the width of the design smoothly down to the band.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy use step cut sides with a brilliant centre?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe contrast is deliberate. Baguettes give broad calm flashes while the oval gives fine sparkle, so the side stones frame the centre instead of competing with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre baguettes more fragile than round stones?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheir corners are the vulnerable point, which is why they are set with metal covering each corner rather than left exposed. Set properly they wear as well as any other shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes an oval look bigger than a round diamond?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. It spreads the same carat weight over a longer surface, so it shows a larger face, and here the baguettes extend that width further across the finger.\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\u003eCan this ring be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The band carries no stones, so a jeweler can cut and adjust it without touching the setting.\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.
