The stones nearest the centre are the largest and the widest point of the band sits directly under them, then everything reduces together towards the back of the finger. The effect is that the shoulders appear to funnel into the centre stone, which is the oldest trick in ring design for making a diamond look larger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCenter stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone type: lab grown diamond, IGI certified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: oval brilliant, set lengthways along the finger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarat weight: choose 2, 3, 4 or 5 carat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour grade: E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarity grade: VVS2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut, polish and symmetry: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting: four claw prong on an open basket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSide stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound brilliant lab grown diamonds set along both tapering shoulders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReducing in size as the band narrows towards the back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShared claw setting, each stone individually held\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour and clarity matched to the centre stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBand details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shank is at its widest where it meets the setting and tapers steadily towards the back of the finger, carrying diamonds along the wider section only. The narrow rear section is plain and rounded, which also allows the ring to be resized.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMetal options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose 925 sterling silver with rhodium plating, or solid 10K, 14K or 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. White gold, rhodium finished, gives the bright unified look shown in the photographs. Yellow gold outlines the taper and each side stone clearly. Rose gold is the warmest of the three. Every metal is hallmarked and every carat weight is available in every metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRing size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is made to order in your size.

A lab grown diamond is chemically, physically and optically identical to a mined diamond and is graded on the same scale 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 centre stone is included at no extra cost with every order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does a tapered shank do\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt puts the widest metal where the eye is looking and the narrowest where it is not. Practically it also puts the strength under the setting, where the load actually sits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the side stones included in the carat weight shown\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. The carat weight you select refers to the centre stone. The side diamonds are supplied in sizes proportioned to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a tapered band comfortable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, and many people find it more comfortable than an even band, because the narrow section sits between the fingers where a wide band would press.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I wear a wedding band beside it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. A straight band sits flush against the widest part of the shank. Because the taper begins behind the setting there is no overhang.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does it take to make\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMade to order rings usually leave our workshop within 12 to 16 working days. We confirm the date by email once your size is set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy a lab grown diamond\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA lab grown diamond is grown from a diamond seed under the same heat and pressure conditions that create diamonds in the earth. It has the same hardness of 10 on the Mohs scale, the same refractive index and the same fire. What changes is the origin, the traceability and the price. For the same budget you can buy a considerably larger stone with a higher colour and clarity grade, and you know exactly where it came from.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur services\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIGI certificate for the centre stone included free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree resizing within the first 60 days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree worldwide insured shipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime cleaning and polishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom design and CAD rendering before production\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 day return policy on made to order rings\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 diamonds are cut and polished.
