{"product_id":"pear-cut-lab-grown-diamond-half-bezel-thin-band-ring","title":"Pear Cut Lab Grown Diamond Half Bezel Solitaire Engagement Ring on a Thin Band in Silver, 10K, 14K and 18K Gold","description":"\u003cp\u003eA pear cut laboratory grown diamond gripped along its two long flanks by a smooth half bezel, with the point and the rounded shoulder left completely open. The band is fine and straight, and the whole setting sits low against the finger. There are no claws standing above the stone anywhere on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentre stone: Pear cut laboratory grown diamond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarat options: 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour and clarity: E colour, VVS2 clarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertificate: IGI, included free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting: Half bezel along the long sides of the pear, thin plain band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccent stones: None, this is a true solitaire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetals: 925 silver, 10K, 14K and 18K gold in yellow, rose and white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade: To order in Surat, India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBezel on the sides, open at the ends\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeaving the point and the rounded end uncovered is the whole trick here. Those two extremes are what give a pear its recognisable outline, so covering them would shorten the stone and blunt the shape. Wrapping the long sides instead protects the girdle where it is most exposed on the finger, and keeps the silhouette at full length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA note on the point\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNormally the tip of a pear is the part we worry about, which is why most pear rings use a v claw. Here the bezel walls run right up to either side of the tip and taper into it, shielding it from the sides without covering it. It is a harder way to make the ring and a cleaner way to look at it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho it suits\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNothing stands proud of the surface. No claw tips to catch on a jumper, no gallery to snag. If you type all day, wear gloves, or have caught a claw setting once too often, a half bezel pear is the shape to look at.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat laboratory grown means here\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA laboratory grown diamond is a diamond. It is crystallised carbon with the same cubic structure, the same 10 on the Mohs scale, the same refractive index of 2.42 and the same dispersion as a mined stone. Ours are grown by chemical vapour deposition and high pressure high temperature methods, then cut and polished by hand. This is not moissanite, not cubic zirconia and not a simulant. A gemmologist testing it will read diamond, because it is diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMetals\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K or 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. Yellow gold is photographed here and gives the bezel walls real presence against a colourless stone. On a band this narrow we would suggest 10K or 14K, which are harder alloys and hold a thin shank better. White gold is rhodium plated and will want replating every one to two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEvery centre stone arrives IGI certified\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre diamond is graded by IGI, the International Gemological Institute, and the certificate comes with the ring at no extra charge. It states the carat weight, the E colour grade, the VVS2 clarity grade, the measurements and the girdle inscription, and confirms in writing that the stone is laboratory grown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMade to order in our own workshop\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a family run workshop in Surat, India, where most of the world's diamonds are cut and polished. Every pear has a slightly different curve, so the bezel walls are shaped to your individual stone and then burnished down by hand without marking the polish. Allow two to three weeks for making, plus shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLooking after it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWarm water, mild washing up liquid and a soft toothbrush. Run the brush along the two seams where the bezel meets the stone. The open ends rinse clean in seconds. Take it off for the gym, gardening and swimming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions we are asked\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat colour and clarity is the diamond?\u003c\/strong\u003e Every centre stone is E colour and VVS2 clarity, on every metal and every carat weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the point safe without a v claw?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The bezel walls taper into either side of the tip and take the impact before the diamond does, which is at least as protective as a claw sitting over it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the certificate really free?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The IGI report for the centre stone is included in the price on every variant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill a wedding band sit flush against it?\u003c\/strong\u003e Better than with a claw set pear, because the profile is low. A straight band sits close on the rounded side, and a gently curved band follows the outline all the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, easily. There are no stones set anywhere in the shank.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2
