Round Cut Lab Grown Diamond Three Stone Engagement Ring with Pear Side Stones in Silver, 10K, 14K and 18K Gold

A round brilliant laboratory grown diamond in a six claw head, set between two small pear shaped diamonds that point outward from the centre. It is the classic three stone ring made softer and more graceful: the pears taper away from the round like petals, drawing the eye back to the centre.

Round and pear

Pear side stones are one of the most flattering partners for a round. Their rounded ends sit against the curve of the centre stone and their points lead outward, so the ring looks wider and more elegant without adding bulk. The side stones are deliberately small, keeping the round as the clear focus and the band fine and plain.

How it differs from our other round three stone ring

Our round three stone ring with marquise accents uses slender marquise stones and small rounds for a leafy, airy look. This one uses pears for a softer, more rounded outline.

What laboratory grown means here

A 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.

Metals

Choose 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K or 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. Yellow gold gives the pears a warm, vintage feel, white gold keeps it crisp and bright. 10K is the hardest alloy, 14K is the everyday balance, and 18K is the richest colour but the softest metal. White gold is rhodium plated and will want replating every one to two years.

Every centre stone arrives IGI certified

The 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.

Made to order in our own workshop

Mapple Gems is a family run workshop in Surat, India, where most of the world's diamonds are cut and polished. The pears are matched as a pair to your round, with their points protected by claws, and the ring is finished for your carat weight and finger size. Allow two to three weeks for making, plus shipping.

Looking after it

Warm water, mild washing up liquid and a soft toothbrush. Brush around the side stones and under the head. Take it off for the gym, gardening and swimming.

Questions we are asked

What colour and clarity is the diamond? Every centre stone is E colour and VVS2 clarity, on every metal and every carat weight. The pears are matched to the same grade.

Does the carat size include the side stones? No. The carat option is the weight of the round centre stone.

What does a three stone ring mean? Traditionally, past, present and future together.

Will a wedding band sit flush? A straight band sits alongside. A curved band nests closest.

Can it be resized? Yes. The band is plain.
