Nothing else is added to the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is a floor below which making pave stones smaller stops helping. A round brilliant returns light by bouncing it between its pavilion facets and out through the crown, and those facets need a certain physical size to separate white light into the coloured flashes we call fire. Somewhere below about one millimetre in diameter the facets become too small to do that reliably, and the stone starts behaving less like a diamond and more like a bright white dot. It still sparkles, but it sparkles the way glass does. The practical consequence is that the best micro pave is not the finest possible pave: it is pave set with stones held just above that threshold, roughly one to one and a third millimetres, packed as closely as the metal allows. That is what is used here. The row looks continuous from a normal viewing distance but every individual stone in it is still large enough to throw colour rather than only brightness.\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: radiant cut, brilliant faceted with cut corners\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSymmetry: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting: four claws on the cut corners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAccent stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone type: lab grown diamond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: round brilliant in micro pave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: held just above the threshold at which a small brilliant stops returning colour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor grade: E to F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarity grade: VS or better\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBand details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shank is narrow and flat topped so the pave sits in a straight line across the top of the band rather than curving out of view. The lower half is left plain, which keeps the ring comfortable and makes resizing straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMetal options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K or 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. Every metal is fully hallmarked. White gold is shown in the photographs, which is the usual choice for micro pave because a neutral metal between densely set stones disappears and the row reads as unbroken.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRing size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ring is made to your finger size. Select your size at checkout. If you are unsure, we will send you a printable size guide before we begin work, and we adjust the stone count so the coverage stays even at any size in our range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCustom orders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe can change the carat weight, the length to width ratio of the radiant, extend the pave further round the band or remove it for a plain shank. Write to us through https:\/\/mapplegems.com\/pages\/contact and our workshop will prepare a quotation and a rendering before any metal is cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a lab grown diamond a real diamond\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. It is carbon in the same crystal structure as a mined diamond, with the same hardness and the same optical properties, graded on the same scales.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the ring come with a certificate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. An IGI certificate for the center stone is included at no extra charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs smaller pave always better\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Below roughly one millimetre a brilliant's facets are too small to separate light into colour, so the stone reads as a white dot. We set just above that size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo micro pave stones fall out\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot when properly set.

The lower half of the shank is plain, so resizing is done in clean metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does the ring take to make\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach ring is made to order.
