Seen from above it is a plain solitaire. Seen from the side there is a line of light running underneath the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentre stone: Pear cut laboratory grown diamond, set point up\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: Claw set with a hidden halo, on a plain round band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccent stones: Round laboratory grown diamonds in the hidden halo, E colour, VVS2\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\u003eThe halo nobody else sees\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA conventional halo surrounds the stone on top, changes its outline and makes a pear read rounder than it is. A hidden halo is set into the side of the basket, facing outward from the profile, so the shape of the diamond stays exactly as cut and the sparkle only appears as the hand turns. It is the way to add diamonds to a solitaire without making it look like a different ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA pear keeps its outline\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe point and the shoulders of a pear are the whole appeal of the shape. Nothing here interrupts them: four claws, two at the shoulders and one covering the tip, and no metal or stones crossing the outline anywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe point is covered\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tip is the thinnest part of a pear and where damage happens. Ours sits inside a full claw rather than standing clear of one, which costs a fraction of the outline and saves the stone.\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. This ring was photographed in yellow gold, and in white metal in one image, but every metal is made to order and priced above. A popular version uses a yellow band with a white metal hidden halo, so the small stones read as bright as possible; tell us if you want it made that way. 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. The hidden halo diamonds are matched to the same E and VVS2 grade.\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. The halo is set into the basket before the head is joined to the band, because afterwards there is no access to it. The claws are fitted last, to the measured stone. Allow two to three weeks for making, plus shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the photographs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne photograph shows this ring with several stacking bands. Those bands are separate pieces and are not included. The ring box shown is our standard packaging and comes with every order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLooking after it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWarm water, mild washing up liquid and a soft toothbrush, brushing up into the hidden halo from below, which is where anything that gets in will stay. 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 are the diamonds?\u003c\/strong\u003e The centre pear and every hidden halo stone are E colour and VVS2 clarity, on all metals and all carat weights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the carat weight include the hidden halo?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat options refer to the centre pear. The halo diamonds are in addition.\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\u003eDoes a hidden halo make the stone look bigger?\u003c\/strong\u003e Slightly, from the side, and it lifts the stone a little higher. From above it changes nothing, which is the point of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill a wedding band sit flush?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The band is plain and round and the halo sits above it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, at the back. One or two sizes either way is straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2
