The oval is a brilliant, faceted into dozens of small triangles and kites that scatter light into rapid flashes. The emerald cuts beside it are step cuts, faceted into long parallel planes that behave like mirrors, returning broad slow flashes of white and dark rather than sparkle. Set next to each other, the sides read as calm rectangles of light framing a bright centre, which makes the oval look livelier than it would flanked by two more brilliants. The sides are set east to west, their long axes crossing the finger rather than running along it, so their straight edges square off against the curve of the oval and give the whole head a clean architectural outline. Step cuts are also the least forgiving cut in jewellery. With no facet noise to hide behind, any inclusion or tint sits in plain sight, which is why side stones like these are usually the most expensive part of a mined three stone ring.\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: six claws, set north to south\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAccent stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne rectangular emerald cut diamond claw set on each side, laid east to west\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStep cut with parallel facet planes and cut corners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor grade: E to F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarity grade: VS or better, selected eye clean because step cuts show everything\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide stones are scaled to the centre, so a 5 carat oval is supplied with proportionally larger emerald cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBand details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shank is round in section, polished bright and tapered from the shoulders to the back of the finger.

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 the difference between a brilliant cut and a step cut\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA brilliant is cut into many small triangular and kite facets that scatter light into fast sparkle. A step cut has long parallel facets that act like mirrors, giving broad slow flashes. The oval here is brilliant, the sides are step cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy pair the two\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContrast. Calm rectangular sides make the brilliant centre look livelier, and the straight edges of the emerald cuts square off against the curve of the oval so the head has a defined outline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy are the side stones set east to west\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo their long axes cross the finger. It widens the head, gives the design its architectural look and stops the three stones reading as one long line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo step cut diamonds show inclusions more\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, considerably. There is no facet pattern to hide behind, which is why we select the sides eye clean rather than simply to a clarity grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this ring sit flush with a wedding band\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The shank is straight and unset, so a plain or pave band meets it cleanly on both sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does the ring take to make\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe three stones are matched for colour and the step cut sides are aligned by hand so their facet lines run parallel, so allow eighteen to twenty two working days before dispatch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy a lab grown diamond\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStep cut side stones matched to a large brilliant centre are among the hardest things to source in mined goods, because any tint or inclusion shows through the open facets. Lab grown material lets us cut all three stones to one grade from the same run, 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.
