The square proportion matters here. A cushion cut with an even length to width ratio has the softened pillow outline the cut is named for, and it reads as a rounded square rather than as a shortened rectangle, which is what gives it a gentler and slightly more antique character than an elongated stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pave shoulders are set close and stop short of the back of the band. They do two things. They add light immediately beside the centre stone where the eye rests, and they narrow the visual width of the shank so the cushion looks broader than it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCenter stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: Square cushion cut, near even proportions with softly rounded corners\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 an open 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\u003eRound brilliant lab grown diamonds pave set along both shoulders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePave stops before the back of the band so the underside stays plain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccents matched to the center stone for color and clarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach stone held in its own bead seat by hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBand details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shank is a fine band that carries the pave on its upper face and returns to smooth polished metal underneath. Because the pave stops before the back, the ring is easy to resize and the stones sit away from the part of the band that takes the most contact during daily wear.\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. Rose gold flatters the soft square outline and gives the whole ring a warm romantic tone. Yellow gold reads more traditional. White gold and sterling silver keep the cushion looking icy and let the pave blend into it. 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.

An elongated cushion is stretched into a soft rectangle. The square version looks rounder and more antique, the elongated version looks longer on the finger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does a cushion cut sparkle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts larger facets produce broad slow flashes of light rather than the fine rapid scintillation of a round brilliant. Many people describe the effect as candlelight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy stop the pave before the back of the band?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt protects the accent stones from the wear the underside of a ring takes, and it leaves plain metal that a jeweller can cut and rejoin if the ring ever needs resizing.\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\u003eWill a wedding band sit flush?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The shank is straight and the basket sits above it, so a straight plain or pave band meets this ring without a gap.\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.
