Cushion Cut Lab Grown Diamond Three Stone Ring with Hidden Halo Gallery

Cushion Cut Lab Grown Diamond Three Stone Ring with Hidden Halo Gallery

A cushion cut lab grown diamond stands between two round brilliant side stones on a plain band. From above it reads as a clean three stone ring. Lift it and turn it and the gallery underneath opens into a hidden halo of pave that wraps the basket and runs down the inside of the bridge, an area most people never think to decorate because most people never see it.

That is the appeal of a worked gallery. It is a detail built for the wearer rather than for the room. The person wearing the ring notices it every time they take it off, and nobody else does unless they are shown.

Side stone details

• Two round brilliant lab grown diamonds, one on each side of the cushion
• Individually claw set at the same height as the centre stone
• Matched to the center stone for color and clarity
• Set close enough that the three stones read as one line across the finger

Accent stone details

• Hidden halo of pave set diamonds circling the basket beneath the cushion
• Pave continues down the inner faces of the cathedral bridge
• All accents matched to the center stone for color and clarity

Band details

The shank is a plain polished band with no stones along its length. Keeping the outside of the ring completely undecorated is what makes the worked gallery a surprise rather than an extension of the same idea. It also means the ring is straightforward to resize and pairs with any wedding band.

Metal options

Choose from 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K and 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. White gold and sterling silver keep the cushion reading icy and let the hidden pave flash cold from below. Yellow gold makes the gallery glow warm under the stone. Rose gold softens the whole design. Every metal is finished by hand in our workshop.

Frequently asked questions

What is a gallery on a ring?
The gallery is the structure underneath the centre stone that connects the basket to the shank. On most rings it is left plain. Working it with pave turns it into a hidden feature only visible in profile or from below.

Why choose a three stone ring?
Three stones give more spread across the finger for the same centre weight, and they carry the past, present and future meaning many couples like. They also suit people who find a plain solitaire too quiet and a halo too busy.

How does a cushion cut sparkle?
Its larger facets give broad slow flashes of light rather than the fine rapid scintillation of a round brilliant. The effect is often described as candlelight.

Is a lab grown diamond a real diamond?
Yes. 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.

Will I receive a certificate?
Yes. An IGI certificate for the center stone is included with every order at no additional cost.

Will a wedding band sit flush?
Yes. The shank is straight and plain and the head is raised on the bridge, so a straight band meets it cleanly with no gap.

Which metal is best for daily wear?
14K 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.

Why buy a lab grown diamond

A 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.
