The round centre sits in six claws, the pears in three each, and the shank tapers away underneath so the three stones carry the whole ring.\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: Three stone, claw set throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide stones: Pear cut laboratory grown diamonds, E colour, VVS2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBand: Plain tapered shank\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\u003eRound in the middle, pears at the sides\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA round brilliant is symmetrical in every direction, which makes it the easiest shape to look at and the hardest to make interesting. Putting pears beside it solves that. The pears give the ring a direction, running out along the finger, while the round keeps the centre calm. It is a quieter combination than three rounds and it wears wider than a solitaire of the same weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe claws\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSix claws on the centre, evenly spaced, because six holds a round brilliant more securely than four and the extra metal barely shows on a stone this size. Each pear gets a V claw over its point and two on the rounded end. Everything is filed low, so from above you see diamond rather than metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSet with no daylight between\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pears touch the centre stone. Building a three stone ring with gaps is quicker and it always shows, because the eye reads the empty metal between the stones before it reads the diamonds. Each pear is chosen to suit the centre you order, so a five carat centre gets larger pears than a two carat centre and the proportions stay right.\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. Both pears are matched to the same E and VVS2 grade, which matters here because a side stone one shade warmer than the centre is obvious when the stones touch.\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 three stones are set out together and checked for height before the head is built, so the tops finish level rather than the centre standing proud. 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, working into the joins where the pears meet the centre, which is where dirt settles on a three stone ring. The pear points take the knocks, so 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 both pear side stones 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 side stones?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat options refer to the centre round. The two pears are in addition and are sized in proportion to the centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy six claws rather than four?\u003c\/strong\u003e A round brilliant is held more evenly by six, and because the claws sit at the girdle they spread the pressure. On a large round it also stops the stone from looking square, which four claws can do.\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 Nearly. The pear points sit close to the finger, so a straight band touches them. A shallow curved band clears them, 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
