East West Radiant Lab Grown Diamond Ring with Graduated Cluster Shoulders

East West Radiant Lab Grown Diamond Ring with Graduated Cluster Shoulders

A radiant cut lab grown diamond lies east to west across the finger, and at each of its four corners sits a small cluster of round diamonds arranged largest to smallest. Those clusters then trail away down the shank as a line of graduated stones that grows finer the further it travels, until the band returns to plain metal at the back of the finger.

Underneath, a hidden halo of pave runs around the basket, so the centre stone appears to rest on a lit collar when seen from the side. The whole ring is built around a single idea, which is that the diamond should look like the widest point of something that narrows away in both directions.

Accent stone details

• All accents matched to the center stone for color and clarity

Band details

The shank starts wide beneath the centre stone and narrows steadily along the shoulders as the accent stones shrink, finishing as a fine plain band at the back. That taper is what makes the finger look longer and keeps a busy design from feeling heavy. The plain back also makes the ring comfortable and simple to resize.

Metal options

Choose from 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K and 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. Rose gold gives the graduated stones a soft warm scatter that suits the antique feel of the layout. Yellow gold makes it richer. White gold and sterling silver turn the whole shoulder into one continuous run of white light. Every metal is finished by hand in our workshop.

Frequently asked questions

What does east west setting mean?
It means the long axis of the stone runs across the finger rather than along it. An east west radiant sits horizontally, which broadens the head and gives the ring a modern, slightly vintage character.

What is a graduated shoulder?
It is a run of accent stones that gets progressively smaller as it moves away from the centre. The effect draws the eye inward toward the main diamond and makes the head look larger than it is.

What is a hidden halo?
A hidden halo is a ring of small diamonds set around the basket beneath the centre stone, facing outward. You do not see it from above, but it lights up the profile view.

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.

What wedding band suits this ring?
Because the shoulders taper and the stones sit high, a straight band meets it cleanly. We can also make a band that mirrors the graduated stones for a matched pair.

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.
