No halo, no pave, no accents. The stone is set low and the shank is drawn as thin as it can safely be made.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSetting a large oval east to west lowers it in a way that matters for daily wear. A north to south oval has to be lifted clear of the finger at both ends, because the stone is longer than the finger is wide and the tips would otherwise press into the skin at the base of the knuckle. Turned sideways, the length of the diamond sits across the widest, flattest part of the finger, so the whole setting can be built lower. The result is a big stone that does not catch on sleeves and does not rock when you close your hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCenter stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: Oval cut, elongated brilliant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone type: Lab grown diamond, IGI certified\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 make, excellent luster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting: Four claws holding the stone east to west, set low on an open basket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertification: IGI certificate of the center stone is included at no extra charge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBand details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shank is fine, plain and rounded with a mirror polish, carrying no stones. It meets the underside of the basket directly with no gallery rail between, which is what allows the stone to sit as close to the finger as it does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMetal options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose from 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K and 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. Rose gold is shown here and it warms the whole ring while leaving the diamond as the only bright element. Yellow gold gives a more traditional contrast. White gold and sterling silver let the band disappear so only the horizontal line of the stone registers. For a shank this fine we recommend 14K or 18K gold for long term daily wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRing size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is available in a full range of US sizes.

Nothing extends toward the knuckle, the profile is lower and the ring is less likely to snag or rock on the finger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes an oval look bigger than a round diamond?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. It spreads the same carat weight over a longer surface, so it presents a larger face on the hand whichever way it is set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill a wedding band sit flush against this ring?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, and more easily than with a north to south oval. The shank runs level on both sides of the setting so a straight band meets it cleanly without being contoured.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a lab grown diamond a real diamond?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill I receive a certificate?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. An IGI certificate for the center stone is included with every order at no additional cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this ring be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, easily. The band carries no stones at all, so a jeweler can cut and adjust it anywhere along its length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy a lab grown diamond\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur services\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIGI certificate of the center stone included free with every ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade to order in the metal, carat weight and size you choose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull range of US ring sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom design and matching wedding bands on request\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand finishing and quality inspection before dispatch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecure insured worldwide shipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Mapple Gems\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a fine jewelry maker based in Surat, India, a city that has cut and polished diamonds for generations.
