The band is not a plain wire with a decorative groove cut into it. It is formed from strands wound around each other so the twist runs continuously round the finger, catching light along every ridge as the hand moves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRope work is one of the oldest decorative techniques in goldsmithing, older than pave and older than the brilliant cut itself. Setting a modern round diamond on a rope shank puts a very new stone on a very old kind of band, and the contrast is what makes the ring interesting rather than merely pretty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCenter stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: Round brilliant cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone type: Lab grown diamond, IGI certified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarat weight: 2, 3, 4 or 5 carat, selected at checkout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor grade: E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarity grade: VVS2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut and polish: Excellent make, excellent luster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting: Four claw prongs on a pave collared basket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertification: IGI certificate of the center stone is included at no extra charge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAccent stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHidden halo of round brilliant lab grown diamonds circling the basket beneath the centre stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccents matched to the center stone for color and clarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInvisible from directly above, fully visible in profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBand details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shank is a twisted rope formed from wound strands, continuous all the way round the finger. Each ridge is filed and polished individually, which is why a rope band takes far longer to finish than a plain one. There are no stones set into it, so the texture is the only decoration and the ring stays comfortable and light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMetal options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose from 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K and 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. Yellow gold shows the rope texture most clearly, because the warm tone throws a shadow into every groove. Rose gold gives the same effect a softer tone. White gold and sterling silver make the twist read as a fine silver cable. Every metal is finished by hand in our workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRing size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is available in a full range of US sizes. Select your size at checkout.

It is a traditional goldsmithing technique that predates most modern setting styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a twisted band comfortable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The ridges are rounded and polished smooth rather than sharp, so it feels textured against the finger but never rough. Many people find the grip of a rope band stops the ring rotating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a hidden halo?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA ring of small diamonds set around the basket beneath the centre stone, facing outward. It is invisible from directly above and gives the ring a bright collar seen from the side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan a rope band be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWithin a moderate range, yes, but the twist has to be matched carefully where the band is joined. We recommend confirming your size before ordering so the pattern stays unbroken.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a lab grown diamond a real diamond?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. A lab grown diamond has the same carbon crystal structure, hardness, refractive index and fire as a mined diamond. The only difference is that it was grown in a controlled environment rather than pulled from the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill I receive a certificate?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. An IGI certificate for the center stone is included with every order at no additional cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich metal is best for daily wear?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e14K and 18K gold are the most durable choices for a ring worn every day. 10K is harder still. Sterling silver is softer and suits gentler wear or a first ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy a lab grown diamond\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA lab grown diamond gives you the same optical and physical properties as a mined stone at a far better price for the size and quality. Because the growth conditions are controlled, high color and high clarity stones like the E VVS2 used here are available in large carat weights that would be rare and costly in mined goods. It is also a traceable choice, with a known origin and no mining footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur services\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIGI certificate of the center stone included free with every ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade to order in the metal, carat weight and size you choose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull range of US ring sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom design and matching wedding bands on request\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand finishing and quality inspection before dispatch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecure insured worldwide shipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Mapple Gems\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a fine jewelry maker based in Surat, India, a city that has cut and polished diamonds for generations.
