Elongated Cushion Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring on a Marquise Station Band

Elongated Cushion Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring on a Marquise Station Band

An elongated cushion cut lab grown diamond over a concealed halo, on a band carrying marquise cut diamonds set end to end with a small gold bead between each pair, running down both shoulders and stopping before the back of the finger.

The reason the accent line is marquise rather than round comes down to what happens at the ends of the run. A row of round stones has no direction, so wherever it stops it simply stops, and the last stone sits against plain metal as an abrupt full stop. A marquise has a point at each end, and a line of them laid end to end is already pointing along the band, so when the run finishes the final tip carries the eye onward into the plain shank rather than halting there. That is why this arrangement reads as tapering away even though every accent stone in it is the same size. It is the cheapest way in a jeweller's vocabulary to get the effect of a graduated shank without the cost of cutting five or six different calibrated sizes.

Band details

The station line covers both shoulders and gives the band a scalloped upper edge, rising over each stone and dipping at each bead. The rear of the shank is plain and even in width.

Metal options

Choose 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K or 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. Every metal is fully hallmarked. Yellow gold is shown in the photographs, where each bead between the marquise stones reads as a small warm accent of its own.

Ring size

The ring is made to your finger size. Select your size at checkout. If you are unsure, we will send you a printable size guide before we begin work.

We can change the carat weight, carry the station line the whole way round, substitute pear cuts, or leave the shank plain. Write to us through https://mapplegems.com/pages/contact and our workshop will prepare a quotation and a rendering before any metal is cut.

Frequently asked questions

Is a lab grown diamond a real diamond
Yes. It has the same carbon crystal structure, hardness and optical behaviour as a mined diamond and is graded on the same scales.

Does the ring come with a certificate
Yes. An IGI certificate for the center stone is included at no extra charge.

Why marquise accents instead of round
A marquise points along the band, so when the run of stones ends the final tip carries the eye onward instead of stopping abruptly against plain metal.

Do the accent stones get smaller
No. They are all the same size. The pointed shape creates the impression of tapering without graduated cutting.

What is an elongated cushion
A cushion cut with a longer length to width ratio than the square version, which lines its sparkle up along one axis and gives broader flashes.

Can this ring be resized
Yes. The back of the shank is plain, so resizing does not touch the station line.

How long does the ring take to make
Each ring is made to order. Production usually takes twelve to sixteen working days before dispatch.

Why buy a lab grown diamond

A lab grown diamond gives a larger centre stone and higher colour and clarity for the same budget, with a traceable origin and no mining. It also makes a matched run of calibrated marquise accents realistic to source.
