Nothing under it, nothing beside it, nothing on the shoulders. This is the ring everything else is a variation of, and it is harder to make well than any of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentre stone: Round brilliant 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: Four claws on a thin plain band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccent stones: None\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\u003eWhy plain is difficult\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn a ring with pave and a halo, small imperfections disappear into the detail. On this one there is nothing to hide behind: if the claws are not evenly spaced, if the stone sits a degree off level, if the band is a fraction thicker on one side, you see it immediately. A plain solitaire is the honest test of a workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFour claws, not six\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour claws show more of the stone's outline and make a round diamond read slightly squarer and larger. Six hold marginally more securely and suit stones above three carats or hands that take knocks. We make either; four is what is photographed, and if you would prefer six, tell us when you order and the price does not change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe round brilliant\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFifty seven facets, arranged over a century of refinement to return as much light as possible through the top of the stone. No other cut is as bright, and none is as unforgiving of a poorly made one, which is why cut quality matters more than carat weight on this shape.\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. On a ring with a single stone and no accents, that report describes the entire piece.\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 head is made to the measured stone rather than bought in a nearest size, the claws are filed to match each other, and the band is polished as one continuous surface. Allow two to three weeks for making, plus shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLooking after it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWarm water, mild washing up liquid and a soft toothbrush, brushing underneath the stone where hand cream collects behind the claws. A solitaire cleans in a minute and looks completely different afterwards. 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 is the diamond?\u003c\/strong\u003e Every centre stone is E colour and VVS2 clarity, on every metal and every carat weight. We do not offer lower grades, because on a plain solitaire the stone is the entire ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the certificate really free?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The IGI report 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 straight, which is exactly what a wedding band wants to sit against.\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, and there is no pave to interrupt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I have a thicker band?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, at no extra cost in silver, and for a small difference in the gold weight otherwise. Tell us when you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I add a hidden halo later?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. Send the ring back to us and we will fit one under the setting without disturbing the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2
