One strand is pave set, the other is left polished, so the band alternates diamond and plain metal as it winds toward the head.\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 claw centre inside a cushion shaped halo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccent stones: Round brilliant laboratory grown diamonds in the halo and on one strand of the band, E colour, VVS2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBand: Twisted two strand shank, one pave and one polished\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\u003eThe twist\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shank divides at the back and the two halves wind around each other before meeting the head. Setting only one of them keeps the design legible. If both strands were pave the twist would disappear into a single bright rope; with one plain the eye follows the polished metal over and under the set one, and the crossover becomes the point of the ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA square halo around a round stone\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe halo follows a cushion outline rather than the circle of the centre stone, so the face of the ring reads wider and squarer than the diamond inside it. A 2 carat round in this setting wears like a considerably larger stone, and the corners of the halo give the twisted shank something definite to run into.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTwo things happening at once, which is the difficulty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA twisted shank and a halo are each straightforward on their own. Together they have to meet at exactly the right height or the head sits crooked on the twist. The strands are formed and soldered before the halo is built, then the whole head is aligned to the crossover by eye. It is the slowest part of making this ring.\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 design is photographed in white metal, yellow gold and rose gold, and 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 cut grade, the measurements and the girdle inscription, and confirms in writing that the stone is laboratory grown. Every halo and band accent is matched to the same E and VVS2 grade. This matters more on a halo than anywhere else, because a ring of slightly warm accents makes a colourless centre look grey.\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 halo is built to the diameter of the individual stone, the strands are formed and crossed before the head is attached, and the pave is bead set by hand along the set strand only. 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. A halo and a twisted shank both trap hand cream, and the gap between the two strands is the hardest place to reach, so brush from both sides and rinse thoroughly. Take the ring 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 round and every halo and band accent are E colour and VVS2 clarity, on all metals and all carat weights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the carat weight include the halo and pave?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat options refer to the centre round brilliant. The halo and band stones are in addition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is the halo square if the stone is round?\u003c\/strong\u003e It makes the face of the ring wider, so the centre stone reads larger, and it suits the crossing lines of the twisted shank better than a round halo would.\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 No. A twisted shank does not meet a straight band anywhere along its length. We make a matching twisted band that nests into it, which is the usual answer, or a plain band worn on the other hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e One size either way at most, and it has to be done carefully because the twist has to be re formed. Tell us your size accurately when you order.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2
