The marquises lie at alternating angles rather than in a straight line, so the shoulders trail away from the centre instead of stopping at it.\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: Six claw centre with claw set marquise accents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccent stones: Marquise cut laboratory grown diamonds, E colour, VVS2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBand: Slim shank, plain at the back\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\u003eMarquises as leaves\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA marquise is a pointed oval, and laid on its side against a shank it reads as a leaf without any of the literal engraving that usually goes with a botanical ring. Setting three or four down each shoulder at slightly different angles turns the band into a stem. It is a restrained way of making a nature inspired ring, which is why it suits people who like the idea but not the usual execution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEach marquise set on its own\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery accent has its own small claws rather than being bead set into a channel. It takes longer and it is the reason each leaf stands proud enough to catch light separately instead of blurring into the next one. It also means the pointed tips are covered by metal, which is where a marquise chips.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSix claws on the centre\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSix rather than four, evenly spaced around the girdle. On a round brilliant six claws hold the stone more securely and spread the pressure, and on a large stone they stop it reading as slightly square, which four claws can do.\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 white metal, 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 measurements and the girdle inscription, and confirms in writing that the stone is laboratory grown. Every marquise accent is matched to the same E and VVS2 grade.\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 marquises are laid out along each shoulder and adjusted by eye before any seat is cut, because a leaf pattern set out symmetrically stops looking like leaves. 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. The gaps between the marquises hold hand cream, so brush along both shoulders rather than just rinsing the ring. The points of the marquises are the vulnerable parts, so 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 round and every marquise 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 accents?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat options refer to the centre round brilliant. The marquise leaves are in addition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the marquise accents catch on things?\u003c\/strong\u003e They sit low and each point is covered by a claw, so less than you would expect. As with any ring carrying small stones, have the claws checked every couple of years.\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 Not quite. The leaves run down onto the shoulders, so a straight band meets them. A contoured band nests along the leaves, and we make those to match.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, at the back where the shank is plain. One or two sizes either way is straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2
