The gaps between the stones are wider than the stones themselves, and the shank is so slender that from a few feet away the accents look as though they are hovering on their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat illusion is the entire point, and it depends on the band being thin rather than on the accents being large. The eye needs a reference to register metal at all. Reduce the shank below about one and a half millimetres and at conversational distance it stops reading as a ring and starts reading as a line, at which point anything set into it appears to float unsupported. Widen the same band by half a millimetre and the effect collapses, because you begin to see the band first and the stones second.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCenter stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: Radiant cut, rectangular with cropped corners and brilliant faceting\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: Four claws gripping the cropped corners of the stone\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\u003eAccent stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour round brilliant cut lab grown diamonds, two on each shoulder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet at wide intervals with more polished metal between them than the width of each stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach held in its own small claw setting rather than a shared row\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatched to the center stone in color and clarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBand details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shank is wire thin, round in section and highly polished, tapering very slightly as it rises toward the head. It is deliberately the lightest part of the ring, and everything about the proportion depends on it staying that way.\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 is shown here and the warm line of the shank makes the white accents separate clearly from it, which is what creates the floating look. Rose gold does the same slightly more softly. White gold and sterling silver blend metal and stone together, which is a quieter effect. For a band this fine we recommend 14K or 18K gold, which hold their shape better than silver over years of daily wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRing size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is available in a full range of US sizes.

Sterling silver is softer and a band this fine will bend more easily, so we suggest gold if the ring will never be taken off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes a thin band make the centre stone look bigger?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNoticeably. With almost no metal beside it the eye has nothing to measure the diamond against, so the same stone reads a size larger than it would on a wide shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between a radiant and an emerald cut?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth are rectangular with cropped corners, but a radiant is brilliant faceted underneath so it sparkles like a round, while an emerald cut is a step cut with a clear open table.\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\u003eCan this ring be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, though on a very fine shank we recommend confirming the size before we make it, since repeated adjustment is harder on a thin band than on a heavy one.\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.
