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

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

An oval cut lab grown diamond set sideways across the finger, with a concealed row of pave wrapping the basket beneath it, on a plain polished band. From above, an unadorned east west solitaire. Turned even slightly, a line of light appears underneath.

Sideways is the orientation where a hidden halo is least likely to be wasted. On a north to south oval the basket is turned edge on to anyone facing you, so the halo hides in the narrow profile and only the wearer really sees it. Turn the stone across the finger and the long face of the basket points outward, at whoever is looking at your hand. The same row of stones that would be a private detail on one setting becomes a visible one on the other, without changing the ring's clean outline from above at all.

Center stone details

• Shape: Oval cut, elongated brilliant
• Stone type: Lab grown diamond, IGI certified
• Carat weight: 2, 3, 4 or 5 carat, selected at checkout
• Color grade: E
• Clarity grade: VVS2
• Cut and polish: Excellent make, excellent luster
• Setting: Four claws holding the stone east to west, on a raised basket
• Certification: IGI certificate of the center stone is included at no extra charge

Accent stone details

• Concealed halo of round brilliant lab grown diamonds pave set around the basket
• Follows the elongated outline of the oval rather than sitting in a circle
• Visible in profile and at an angle, not from directly above
• Matched to the center stone in color and clarity

Band details

The shank is a plain polished band of even width, carrying no stones. Because the diamond runs across the finger, the shank stays level on both sides of the setting, which means a straight wedding band will sit flush against it without being contoured.

Metal options

Choose from 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K and 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. White gold is shown here and it merges the halo into the setting so the effect reads as depth beneath the stone. Yellow and rose gold draw a warm line under the diamond instead, which makes the concealed row obvious the moment the hand turns.

Frequently asked questions

Why does an east west setting suit a hidden halo?
Because turning the stone sideways points the long face of the basket outward. On a north to south setting that face is edge on to anyone looking at your hand, so the halo is largely a private detail.

Is it visible from above?
No. From directly overhead the ring reads as a plain solitaire on a plain band, which is the point of a concealed halo.

Will a wedding band sit flush against this ring?
Yes, and more easily than with a north to south oval. The shank runs level on both sides, so a straight band meets it cleanly.

Does an oval look bigger than a round diamond?
Yes. An oval spreads the same carat weight over a longer surface, so it presents a larger face on the hand whichever way it is set.

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.

Can this ring be resized?
Yes, easily. The band carries no stones at all, so a jeweler can cut and adjust it anywhere along its length.

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.
