Straight edges throughout: the sides of the trapezoids run parallel to the sides of the centre stone, and the gaps between them are almost closed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentre stone: Radiant cut laboratory grown diamond\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: Three stone, claw set, on a plain tapered band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide stones: Two trapezoid step cut 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\u003eTrapezoids, not trillions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA trapezoid has four sides: a long edge against the centre stone, a shorter one facing out, and two angled sides. Set against a rectangular centre it closes the gap completely, where a triangle would leave a wedge of metal showing and a round would leave a gap. The three stones end up reading as one wide rectangle with tapered ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBrilliant in the middle, step cuts either side\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe radiant is brilliant faceted and full of fire; the trapezoids are step cut and calm. That contrast is deliberate. It gives the centre stone somewhere to sit rather than putting it in competition with two smaller versions of itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe radiant cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rectangle with cropped corners and brilliant faceting inside: the outline of an emerald cut with the sparkle of a round. It is the brightest of the rectangular shapes, and the most forgiving, since the busy faceting conceals far more than a step cut can.\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. This ring was photographed in yellow gold, but every metal is made to order and priced above. 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. Both trapezoids are matched to the same E and VVS2 grade, which matters because a step cut side stone shows its colour plainly.\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 trapezoids are cut to the measured centre stone so their long edges match its height exactly, and all three are set together so the tables finish level. Allow two to three weeks for making, plus shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the photographs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the photographs shows the ring worn with a necklace. That piece is separate and is not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLooking after it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWarm water, mild washing up liquid and a soft toothbrush, brushing behind all three stones and into the two joins. Step cuts have open corners, so avoid knocking the ring against hard edges. 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 are the diamonds?\u003c\/strong\u003e The centre radiant and both trapezoids are E colour and VVS2 clarity, on every metal and every carat weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the carat weight include the side stones?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat options refer to the centre radiant. The trapezoids are in addition and are scaled to suit it.\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?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The band is plain and tapered and the stones sit above it, so a straight band meets it cleanly on either side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, at the back. One or two sizes either way is straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I have a different centre shape?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. Trapezoids suit an emerald cut, an asscher or an elongated cushion equally well.
