East West Emerald Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring with Hidden Halo on a Plain Band, E Color VVS2

East West Emerald Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring with Hidden Halo on a Plain Band

An emerald cut lab grown diamond laid east west across the finger, held in four claws over a rectangular hidden halo. Turning a step cut sideways changes how it reads more than it does with a brilliant. The long parallel facets of an emerald cut normally run up and down the finger and draw the eye lengthways, and rotating them ninety degrees makes those same lines run across instead, so the stone looks wider and the hand looks narrower. The hidden halo beneath is cut as a rectangle to match, following the corners rather than sitting under the stone as a generic oval. The band is plain with no stones anywhere on it, and the whole setting sits low. E colour, VVS2 clarity throughout, free IGI certificate for the centre stone. Made to order in Surat in ten metals and four carat weights.

An emerald cut has a wide open table that picks up the colour of its setting, so the metal reads through the stone more than it would on a brilliant. White gold and sterling silver keep it coldest and clearest. Yellow and rose gold lend warmth through the table and pick out the hidden halo from the side.

Frequently asked questions

What does east west setting mean?
The long axis of the stone runs across the finger instead of along it. On an emerald cut it makes the stone look wider and gives a distinctly modern look compared with the traditional upright orientation.

How is this different from your other east west emerald cut rings?
Those are bezel set, one as a half bezel and one as a full bezel on a cathedral arch. This one is claw set, carries a hidden halo underneath, and sits on a completely plain band.

Why does the hidden halo need to be rectangular?
Because the stone is. A round or oval collar under a rectangular outline leaves gaps at the corners and looks like a mismatched component from the side.

Does clarity matter more on an emerald cut?
Yes. The large open table leaves nowhere for an inclusion to hide, unlike a brilliant where sparkle masks a great deal. VVS2 is comfortably above the level where anything would be visible.

Does an east west stone sit well with a wedding band?
Yes. The setting is low and the shank is straight, so a plain band sits flush beside it.

Is a lab grown diamond a real diamond?
Yes. Same carbon structure, hardness and brilliance as a mined diamond. Only the origin differs.

Do I get a certificate?
Yes. A free IGI certificate for the centre stone comes with every order, listing colour, clarity, cut grade and carat weight.

Why buy a lab grown diamond

A lab grown diamond gives the same hardness, brilliance and fire as a mined stone at a fraction of the price, which is what makes a certified 4 or 5 carat emerald cut with a hidden halo achievable. It is created without mining, so there is no excavation and no doubt about origin.
