This is a plain solitaire, but not a plain band. The shank starts narrow at the base and widens gradually as it climbs toward the stone, then curves inward to meet the basket in a soft cathedral arch. That taper does two things. It puts more metal where the ring takes stress, directly under the head, and less where it does not, which keeps the ring light on the finger. It also makes the centre stone look wider, because the band is at its narrowest exactly where the eye compares the two. No halo, no pave, no engraving. Just a well proportioned mount and a large certified diamond. Free IGI certificate for the centre stone. Made to order in Surat in ten metals and four carat weights.\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarity: VVS2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut and polish: Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSymmetry: Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarat options: 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting: Four claw in a plain open basket, no halo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertification: IGI certificate for the centre stone included at no extra cost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBand details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA polished band that tapers from a narrow base to a wider shoulder, rising into a low cathedral arch where it meets the head. No stones are set anywhere on the band and the gallery beneath the centre stone is left completely open so light passes straight through the pavilion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMetal options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvailable in 925 sterling silver, 10K yellow gold, 10K rose gold, 10K white gold, 14K yellow gold, 14K rose gold, 14K white gold, 18K yellow gold, 18K rose gold and 18K white gold. Yellow gold, as photographed, gives the tapering band a clean warm line and contrasts against a colourless stone. White gold and sterling silver make the metal recede so the diamond dominates. Rose gold is the warmest of the three.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRing size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery ring is made to your finger size, so choose your size at checkout.

It adds strength at the join, lifts the stone slightly, and gives the ring a defined profile from the side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does the band taper?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStructural and visual reasons together. More metal under the head resists bending where the load is; less metal at the base keeps the ring comfortable and light. Visually, the narrow base makes the stone look proportionally larger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs there a halo on this ring?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, not even a hidden one. The basket is completely plain and open. We can add a hidden halo as a custom order if you want sparkle at the profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a radiant cut?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA rectangle or square with cut corners and a brilliant faceting pattern underneath. It has the clean geometric outline of an emerald cut but returns light in small bright flashes like a round brilliant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre four claws secure for a large stone?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes for a radiant. The corners are cut off rather than pointed, so each claw grips a flat facet edge instead of a fragile point, which is a stronger and safer hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I get a certificate?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. A free IGI certificate for the centre stone comes with every order, listing colour, clarity, cut and carat weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between a lab grown and a mined diamond?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnly where it was made. A lab grown diamond is carbon in the same crystal structure with the same hardness, refractive index and grading scales, and IGI grades both the same way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy a lab grown diamond\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA lab grown diamond is chemically and optically the same as a mined one, graded on the same scales by the same laboratories, at a fraction of the price. On a plain mount like this almost the entire price is the stone, which is what makes a VVS2 E colour radiant at 4 or 5 carat possible. It is grown rather than excavated, so there is no mining involved and the origin is never in question.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur services\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree IGI certificate for the centre stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree tracked worldwide shipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade to order in your exact ring size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime prong check plus cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThirty day return window\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecure packaging in a presentation box\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 in Surat, India, one of the world's main diamond cutting centres.
