The cathedral arms sweep up from the band to meet the head, which lifts the stone clear of the finger and gives the ring its architectural profile from the side. From above it is a clean square solitaire with nothing competing with the centre stone. Every diamond is a laboratory grown diamond, identical in carbon structure, hardness and brilliance to a mined diamond, graded E colour and VVS2 clarity. Each ring is made to order in our own Surat workshop and ships with a free IGI certificate for the centre stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCenter stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone type: Lab Grown Diamond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape and cut: Princess cut, square outline with brilliant faceting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarat weight: 2 Carat, 3 Carat, 4 Carat or 5 Carat, selected above\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor grade: E, colorless range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarity grade: VVS2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLuster: Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake and polish: Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertification: Free IGI certificate for the centre stone, included with every order at no extra charge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSide stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone type: Lab Grown Diamond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape and cut: Round brilliant accents forming the concealed halo beneath the centre stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor grade: E, colorless range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarity grade: VVS2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLuster: Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake and polish: Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting style: Four corner prongs on a cathedral shank, with bead set round diamonds around the hidden basket and a plain polished band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMetal options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is made to order in ten metal choices, so you can match it to jewellery you already wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e925 Sterling Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10K Yellow Gold, 10K Rose Gold, 10K White Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14K Yellow Gold, 14K Rose Gold, 14K White Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18K Yellow Gold, 18K Rose Gold, 18K White Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll gold options are solid gold, never plated or filled.

It raises the stone, adds height and structure to the side profile, and gives extra metal supporting the head, which makes the setting feel substantial without adding bulk across the top of the finger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIs a lab grown diamond a real diamond\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. A lab grown diamond is real diamond. It has the same carbon crystal structure, the same hardness of 10 on the Mohs scale, the same refractive index and the same fire and brilliance as a mined diamond. The only difference is that it was grown in a controlled laboratory over a few weeks instead of underground over billions of years. No jeweller can tell the difference by eye, only specialist equipment reading growth patterns can separate the two.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAre the corners of a princess cut diamond vulnerable\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe four corners are the thinnest points of a princess cut, which is exactly why this setting places a prong over each one. With the corners covered the stone is well protected for daily wear. As with any diamond ring, remove it for gym work, gardening and heavy lifting, and have the prongs checked every couple of years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDoes this ring come with a certificate\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Every ring ships with a free IGI certificate for the centre stone. IGI is the International Gemological Institute, one of the largest independent diamond grading laboratories in the world. The certificate confirms the carat weight, the E colour grade, the VVS2 clarity grade and the laboratory grown origin. There is no extra charge for the certificate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow does a princess cut compare with a round brilliant\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA princess cut is a square stone with brilliant style faceting, so it keeps much of the fire of a round while presenting straight edges and sharp corners. Because less rough is lost in cutting a square, a princess typically costs less per carat than a round of the same quality. It also reads as more modern and geometric on the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat does E colour VVS2 actually mean\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eE colour is the second highest grade on the diamond colour scale and sits inside the colourless range, so the diamond looks bright white with no warm or yellow tint. VVS2 means very very slightly included, the second highest clarity tier. Any inclusions are so small that a trained grader needs 10x magnification to find them and they are completely invisible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow long will my order take and can I return it\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery piece is made to order, so nothing is pulled off a shelf. Production takes about 10 to 12 working days and shipping is 3 to 5 working days after that with tracked international courier. We accept returns and exchanges within 30 days of delivery on unworn pieces in original condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy a lab grown diamond\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA lab grown diamond gives you a materially identical stone for a fraction of the price of a mined equivalent, which is what makes a 4 carat or 5 carat princess centre realistic on a normal budget. Because the origin of every stone is documented from the moment it is grown, a lab grown diamond is conflict free by definition. Growing a diamond also avoids the open pit excavation, land disruption and water use that mining a comparable stone requires, so the environmental cost is considerably lower. For most buyers the practical result is simple, a bigger and cleaner diamond, with a paper trail you can actually verify.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur services\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree IGI certificate for the centre stone on every order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping worldwide with tracking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade to order in any US ring size from 3 to 13 including half sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree resizing assistance and 30 day returns and exchanges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom design service for changes to stone shape, setting, band width and engraving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime cleaning and maintenance guidance for your ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Mapple Gems\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a made to order fine jewellery workshop based in Surat, India, the city that cuts and polishes the majority of the world's diamonds.
