The shank leaves the finger, sweeps up past the stone and drops away again, and the accents sit exactly where the metal turns, so they look scattered rather than arranged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentre stone: Pear cut laboratory grown diamond, set on the diagonal\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: Sculptural swirl with the pear set diagonally and round accents in the curve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccent stones: Round laboratory grown diamonds, 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\u003eSet on the diagonal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pear sits neither upright nor across the finger but at an angle between the two. That is what lets the swirl pass behind it cleanly, and it gives the ring an off centre balance that reads as deliberate rather than accidental. Worn, the stone points across the back of the hand instead of up the finger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere the accents go\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe round diamonds are not on the shoulders in the usual way. They sit in the hollows where the swirl changes direction, filling the small gaps the curve creates, one cluster above the pear and one below. Setting them there means the metal never looks empty and the eye travels around the ring rather than stopping at the centre stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe point is inside the curve\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tip of a pear is the thinnest part of the stone. Here the swirl wraps around it, so the metal sits proud of the point and takes any knock first. On a design this sculptural, the protection comes from the shape rather than from claws added on top.\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 on a design where the polished curve of the metal is half of what you see, the alloy matters: 10K holds a polish hardest, 14K is the everyday balance, 18K gives the deepest colour. 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 round accents are matched to the same E and VVS2 grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the bow tie\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery pear can show a bow tie, a dark band across the widest part of the stone caused by the proportions of the cut rather than by colour or clarity. No certificate grades it. We check every pear by eye and reject the ones that show it.\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 swirl is formed and polished before any stone goes near it, since a curve like this cannot be corrected afterwards, and the accents are set into the hollows one at a time by hand under a microscope. 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. Work into the hollows where the accents sit and follow the inside of the curve behind the stone. 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. The round accents are matched to the same grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the carat weight include the accents?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat options refer to the centre pear. The round accents 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\u003eWill a wedding band sit flush against it?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, not flat. The swirl crosses the band at an angle. A curved or open band nests against it, or wear this ring alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e Only slightly, because the curve is formed to a specific finger size. Please measure carefully and we will build to your size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it sit high on the finger?\u003c\/strong\u003e Higher than a plain solitaire but not dramatically so. The stone is set within the sweep of the band rather than lifted above it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2
