It supports the setting from beneath rather than only from the sides, which means the basket can be lighter, and it visually lifts the stone by giving the eye a curve to follow up to it. Tapering the shank as it climbs makes the arch look springy rather than heavy, so a large cushion appears to sit on something delicate. The shank is left completely plain because the concealed halo already supplies the only small stones on the ring, running around the basket wall directly beneath the girdle where they are invisible from above and clearly visible from the side. The result reads as a plain solitaire from directly overhead and as a considerably richer ring from every other angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCenter stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone type: lab grown diamond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: cushion cut, softened square outline with rounded corners\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSymmetry: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting: four claws over a concealed halo, carried on a cathedral arch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAccent stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConcealed halo of round brilliants set into the basket wall below the girdle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor grade: E to F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarity grade: VS or better\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBand details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shank rises in a shallow cathedral curve to meet the basket and tapers slightly as it climbs.
