{"product_id":"pear-shape-lab-grown-diamond-claw-prong-crown-ring","title":"Pear Shape Lab Grown Diamond Ring with Claw Prong Crown","description":"\u003ch2\u003ePear Shape Lab Grown Diamond Ring with Claw Prong Crown\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA pear shape lab grown diamond gripped by five tapered claws on a fine band. The claws are the design. They are drawn long and narrow, curled over the girdle rather than sitting square on it, and arranged so that two hold the rounded belly, two hold the shoulders and one folds protectively over the point. From above they read as a small crown around the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reason to care about claw shape is that on a pear you see the prongs more than on any other cut. A pear has no symmetry to hide them behind, so thick square claws stand out and interrupt the outline. Tapered claws follow the curve instead and let the shape stay unbroken.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCenter stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: Pear shape, rounded at one end and pointed at the other, set point toward the fingertip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone type: Lab grown diamond, IGI certified\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 make, excellent luster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting: Five tapered claws, the fifth folded over the point as a protective V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertification: IGI certificate of the center stone is included at no extra charge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBand details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shank is a fine rounded band left completely plain. No stones, no shaping, no split. Against a band this narrow the pear looks broader across the belly, and the plain metal keeps the eye on the outline of the stone rather than on the ring around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMetal options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose from 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K and 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. Yellow gold makes the claw crown visible as a warm outline around the stone. Rose gold softens it. White gold and sterling silver make the claws almost disappear so the pear reads as a floating shape. Every metal is finished by hand in our workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRing size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is available in a full range of US sizes. Select your size at checkout.

Five claws cover all three without crowding the stone. Fewer claws leave the belly under supported and more begin to hide the outline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the point of a pear fragile?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe point is the most vulnerable part of the stone, which is why the fifth claw is folded into a V that wraps over and shields it. With that protection a pear wears as reliably as a round.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich way should a pear point?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost people wear the point toward the fingertip because it lengthens the look of the finger. We set it point up as standard and can reverse it on request.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes a pear look bigger than a round?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The elongated outline spreads the weight over a larger face up area, so a pear reads noticeably larger on the hand than a round brilliant of equal carat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a lab grown diamond a real diamond?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. A lab grown diamond has the same carbon crystal structure, hardness, refractive index and fire as a mined diamond. The only difference is that it was grown in a controlled environment rather than pulled from the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill I receive a certificate?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. An IGI certificate for the center stone is included with every order at no additional cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich metal is best for daily wear?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e14K and 18K gold are the most durable choices for a ring worn every day. 10K is harder still. Sterling silver is softer and suits gentler wear or a first ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy a lab grown diamond\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA lab grown diamond gives you the same optical and physical properties as a mined stone at a far better price for the size and quality. Because the growth conditions are controlled, high color and high clarity stones like the E VVS2 used here are available in large carat weights that would be rare and costly in mined goods. It is also a traceable choice, with a known origin and no mining footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur services\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIGI certificate of the center stone included free with every ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade to order in the metal, carat weight and size you choose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull range of US ring sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom design and matching wedding bands on request\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand finishing and quality inspection before dispatch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecure insured worldwide shipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Mapple Gems\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a fine jewelry maker based in Surat, India, a city that has cut and polished diamonds for generations.
