Scrollwork runs along the top of each shoulder and continues down the outer sides, so the pattern is there whichever way you turn your hand. Milgrain beading edges each engraved panel and runs round the collar beneath the oval as well. This is an Edwardian approach to decoration: no accent stones at all, every effect achieved by cutting into and raising the metal itself. Four slim claws hold the centre. Made to order in Surat, India, in ten metals and four centre stone sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCenter stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone type: Moissanite, a lab created silicon carbide gemstone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: Oval brilliant cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Colorless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarity: VVS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarat options: 2 carat, 3 carat, 4 carat and 5 carat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut and polish: Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSymmetry: Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLuster: Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardness: 9.25 on the Mohs scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting: Four slim claws over a milgrain edged collar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShank: Squared profile, engraved on the top face and both outer sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngraving: Flowing scroll pattern, cut by hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMilgrain: Beaded borders along every engraved panel and around the collar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccent stones: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign and craftsmanship\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHand engraving is cut, not stamped. The engraver holds a graver against the metal and pushes it, lifting a curl of gold away with each stroke, and the depth and direction of every line is decided in the moment. That is why the scrolls on a hand engraved ring never repeat exactly and why the pattern reads as alive rather than printed. Engraving the sides as well as the top doubles the work and requires the ring to be reset in the holder several times. The milgrain borders go on last, and they have to be started and finished at exactly the point where the engraved panel ends. Every ring is cut and finished by hand in our Surat workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow moissanite compares to a diamond\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite is silicon carbide, a different material from diamond rather than a lower grade of one. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale against a diamond at 10, it is hard enough for daily wear. Its refractive index is higher, so it returns more coloured fire. On a ring with no accent stones, that single centre stone is the only bright thing against the worked metal, which is exactly the contrast Edwardian jewellers were after. This ring is sold as moissanite and is never described as a diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMetal options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvailable in 925 sterling silver, 10K yellow gold, 10K rose gold, 10K white gold, 14K yellow gold, 14K rose gold, 14K white gold, 18K yellow gold, 18K rose gold and 18K white gold. Yellow gold, as photographed, is the traditional metal for hand engraving and gives the deepest shadows in the cut lines. Rose gold is close behind and reads warmer. White gold shows engraving less strongly because there is less contrast between the cut and the surface. For daily wear 14K holds engraved detail and milgrain beads longer than softer 18K, and 925 sterling silver is the most affordable way to try the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRing size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery ring is made to your finger size, so choose your size at checkout. We make US sizes 3 through 13, including half sizes. Because the engraving is laid out to fit your size, tell us at the time of ordering rather than resizing later, which would interrupt the pattern at the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCustom orders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe can change the scroll pattern to a wheat, floral or geometric design, engrave a date or initials inside the band, leave the sides plain and engrave only the top, use a lab grown diamond or a coloured moissanite in the centre, or make a matching engraved wedding band. For any other request please contact us at https:\/\/mapplegems.com\/pages\/contact and we will quote it before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a moissanite ring or a diamond ring?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a moissanite engagement ring. The centre stone is lab created moissanite and the ring is sold as moissanite. We never describe it as a diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the engraving really done by hand?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Our engraver cuts the scrolls with a graver, one line at a time. That is why no two rings are identical and why the pattern has depth rather than the flat look of a cast or machined finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is this different from your vintage scroll engraved ring?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat design engraves the shoulders only. This one uses a squared shank and carries the scrollwork over the top face and down both sides, with milgrain framing every panel, so there is far more worked surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the engraving wear away?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVery slowly. Deep hand cut lines last decades. If they soften after many years an engraver can re cut them, and choosing 14K rather than 18K slows the process because the metal is harder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I have it resized later?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eResizing cuts through the band at the base, which interrupts an engraved pattern. We can do it and re engrave the join, but it is far better to order the correct size. Ask us for a free size guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill a wedding band sit flush against it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The shank is straight and the collar sits low, so a flat band lies against it cleanly. An engraved band in the same pattern matches exactly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich centre size suits this setting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll four. A 2 or 3 carat oval leaves the engraving as an equal part of the design; 4 and 5 carat make the stone the clear focus with the metalwork as texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWarm water, mild soap and a soft brush worked along the engraved lines, where polish and lotion collect and dull the pattern. Rinse well and dry with a lint free cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does it take to make?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduction usually takes fourteen to eighteen working days for this design, since the engraving is done by hand, plus shipping time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur services\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree tracked worldwide shipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade to order in your exact ring size, US 3 to 13\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime prong check with cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThirty day return window\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecure packaging in a presentation box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConflict free and ethically produced stones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Mapple Gems\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a made to order fine jewelry workshop in Surat, India, one of the world leading diamond cutting and polishing centres.
