This ring captures that look with an IGI certified laboratory grown diamond at its centre, in the metal and carat weight you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is designed and made by Mapple Gems and is inspired by a style Zendaya has been publicly photographed wearing.

It grew out of the old mine cut of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and it gives broad flashes of light with a gentle, romantic outline that sits beautifully in both modern and vintage settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIs this style right for you?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompared with a claw set cushion, this design is modern and snag free, and the pointed claws in the bezel give it a graphic detail that a plain bezel does not have.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat laboratory grown means here\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA laboratory grown diamond is a real diamond. It is pure crystallised carbon with exactly the same chemical composition, crystal structure, hardness and optical properties as a diamond mined from the ground. The only difference is where it formed. Since 2018 the United States Federal Trade Commission has defined a diamond by what it is, not by where it came from, so a laboratory grown diamond is simply a diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre stones in this ring are grown by chemical vapour deposition, known as CVD. A thin slice of diamond is placed in a sealed chamber, carbon rich gas is heated into a plasma, and carbon atoms settle onto the slice layer by layer until a rough diamond has grown. The rough is then cut and polished exactly as a mined diamond would be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is what that means for a ring you will wear every day:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness 10 on the Mohs scale.\u003c\/strong\u003e Diamond is the hardest natural material known. It will not scratch from everyday wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRefractive index of 2.42 and dispersion of 0.044.\u003c\/strong\u003e These are the numbers that give diamond its brilliance and its fire, and they are identical in laboratory grown and mined stones.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt tests as diamond.\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard diamond testers read it as diamond. Only specialist laboratory equipment can tell how a diamond was formed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTraceable origin.\u003c\/strong\u003e Every stone is grown in a controlled facility, with no mining involved, and its IGI report states that it is laboratory grown.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEvery centre stone arrives IGI certified\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe International Gemological Institute, IGI, was founded in Antwerp in 1975 and is one of the largest independent diamond grading laboratories in the world. Every centre stone in this ring comes with its own IGI report, and there is no extra charge for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe report records the shape, measurements, carat weight, colour grade and clarity grade of your diamond, together with its polish and symmetry and the fact that it is laboratory grown. The report number can be checked on the IGI website, so you can confirm independently that the stone you receive is the stone described.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre stones are graded E-F colour, which sits at the top of the colourless range on the D to Z scale, and VS1 clarity, which means very slightly included: any inclusions are minor, difficult to see even under ten times magnification and invisible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your metal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is made to order in ten metals, so the version you choose is the version we build. There is no plating over a base metal and no filled or bonded gold anywhere in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e925 sterling silver\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most affordable way to own the design. It is 92.5 per cent pure silver, bright white, and it takes a high polish. Silver is softer than gold and will pick up fine surface marks with daily wear. It can also tarnish, and a soft polishing cloth brings it straight back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 41.7 per cent pure gold. It is the hardest and most scratch resistant of the three gold alloys, a sensible choice for hands that work. The colour is a little paler than 14K.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e14K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 58.5 per cent pure gold and it is what most engagement rings sold in the United States are made from. It balances a warm, convincing colour against real everyday durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18K gold\u003c\/strong\u003e is 75 per cent pure gold. It has the deepest, richest colour and the most weight in the hand. It is also the softest of the three, so it marks a little more readily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eYellow gold is gold alloyed with silver and copper. Rose gold takes more copper, which gives the warm pink tone. White gold is alloyed with palladium or nickel and finished with rhodium plating, which gives it a bright white face. Rhodium wears thin over time and wants redoing roughly every one to two years, which any jeweller can do quickly. Every gold ring is stamped with its karat mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your carat size\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is offered with 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat centre diamonds. Carat is a unit of weight, not of width, and the photographs may show a different size from the one you choose. The version you select is the one we make, and its IGI report confirms the weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is already a substantial diamond, clearly a statement stone, and still easy to wear every day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a clear step up in presence and photographs beautifully. This is where most people land when they want the ring to be the first thing anyone notices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e covers the finger generously and suits longer fingers and larger ring sizes particularly well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5 carat\u003c\/strong\u003e is a red carpet diamond, the closest to the celebrity look. It is the size people ask about across a room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaboratory growing is what makes these sizes realistic. A mined diamond of the same size, colour and clarity would typically cost many times more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMade to order in our own workshop\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a family run jewellery workshop in Surat, in Gujarat, India. Surat is where roughly nine out of every ten diamonds in the world are cut and polished, and the bench skills that grew up around that trade are what this ring is built on. We do not hold finished stock. When your order comes in, a goldsmith casts your metal in your size, a setter places every stone by hand under a microscope, and the piece is polished, checked and photographed before it leaves us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking takes ten to fourteen working days for most orders. Shipping is free worldwide and fully insured, and it is normally three to seven working days once the ring has left the bench. Your IGI report travels with the ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCaring for your ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiamonds attract skin oil and hand cream, and a film of it is the single most common reason a ring looks dull. Soak the ring for ten minutes in warm water with a drop of washing up liquid, brush gently behind and underneath the stone with a soft toothbrush, rinse and pat dry with a lint free cloth. Once a fortnight is plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiamond is hard but not unbreakable, and a sharp knock on the edge of the stone can chip it. Take the ring off before the gym, gardening, swimming pools and hot tubs, and before using bleach or oven cleaner. Chlorine attacks the alloys in gold over time and does nothing good to sterling silver. Store it on its own, because diamond will scratch other jewellery. Have the claws or setting checked by a jeweller once a year. White gold will want its rhodium refreshed every one to two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions people ask about this ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same ring Zendaya wears?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This is our own ring, made in our workshop and inspired by a style Zendaya has been publicly photographed wearing. It is set with an IGI certified laboratory grown diamond, and Mapple Gems is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Zendaya.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the ring two tone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe photographs show a white gold bezel on a yellow gold band, but your ring is made entirely in the metal you select. If you would like the two tone look, contact us before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a bezel setting good for everyday wear?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The rim protects the whole edge of the stone and there is nothing to catch on clothing or hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan this ring be resized?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The band is plain all the way round, so resizing is simple.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a laboratory grown diamond a real diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. It has the same chemical composition, crystal structure, hardness and sparkle as a mined diamond, and it is graded by the same laboratories on the same scales. The only difference is that it was grown in a controlled facility rather than formed underground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the ring come with a certificate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Every centre diamond comes with its own IGI report at no extra charge. It records the carat weight, E-F colour, VS1 clarity, measurements and the fact that the stone is laboratory grown, and the report number can be verified on the IGI website.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat colour and clarity is the diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre diamonds are E-F colour, at the top of the colourless range, and VS1 clarity, which means any inclusions are minor and invisible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill a jeweller be able to tell it is laboratory grown?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot by looking, and not with a standard diamond tester, which reads it as diamond. Identifying the growth method needs specialist laboratory equipment. The IGI report states openly that the stone is laboratory grown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat ring sizes can I order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe make sizes 1.5 to 13, including every half size. Choose your size at checkout. If you are unsure, measure a ring that already fits the correct finger, or ask a local jeweller to size you, and remember that fingers run slightly larger in hot weather and late in the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long will it take to arrive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery ring is made to order in our workshop in Surat. Allow ten to fourteen working days for making, plus three to seven working days for insured worldwide shipping. If you have a proposal date, tell us when you order and we will confirm whether we can meet it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the metal solid, or is it plated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is solid throughout. 925 sterling silver is 92.5 per cent pure silver, and the gold options are solid 10K, 14K or 18K alloy stamped with the karat mark. Nothing in this range is gold plated, gold filled or gold bonded. White gold carries a rhodium finish on the surface, which is standard for all white gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the wedding band included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The price is for the engagement ring alone. Wedding bands are sold separately, and we are happy to advise which of ours sits best beside this design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo you offer engraving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, and there is no charge for it. Tell us the wording when you order and we will engrave the inside of the band. Most people choose a date, a set of initials or a short phrase. Allow up to about twenty five characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is your returns policy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReturns are accepted within thirty days of delivery on an unworn ring in its original packaging with its IGI report. Because every piece is made to order, engraved rings and rings made to a non standard specification are handled case by case. Write to us and we will sort it out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2
