Elongated Cushion Cut Lab Grown Diamond Triple Split Claw Solitaire Ring, E Color VVS2

Elongated Cushion Cut Lab Grown Diamond Triple Split Claw Solitaire Ring

An elongated cushion cut lab grown diamond held in four claws, each of which splits into three fine fingers where it reaches the stone, on a plain polished band. Twelve points of contact rather than four, from only four rising arms. The effect at the head is closer to a small fan or petal opening against each corner of the cushion than to conventional claws, and because each finger is much thinner than a single claw would be, the metal covering the stone is barely there despite there being three times as much of it. It is a piece of goldsmithing rather than an added stone, which is why the band beneath is left completely plain. E colour, VVS2 clarity, free IGI certificate. Made to order in Surat in ten metals and four carat weights.

Metal options

Available in 925 sterling silver, 10K yellow gold, 10K rose gold, 10K white gold, 14K yellow gold, 14K rose gold, 14K white gold, 18K yellow gold, 18K rose gold and 18K white gold. Split claws are a metalwork detail, so they read most clearly in yellow or rose gold where the fanned fingers show against the diamond. White gold makes them recede almost entirely. For daily wear 14K is harder than 18K and keeps fine split claw fingers rigid.

Ring size

Custom orders

We can use double split claws instead of triple, revert to plain single claws, add pave to the shoulders, or set a hidden halo beneath the cushion. For any other customization request please contact us at https://mapplegems.com/pages/contact and we will quote it before you order.

Frequently asked questions

What are triple split claws?
Each of the four claws divides into three fine fingers where it meets the stone, giving twelve points of contact instead of four. It is a decorative goldsmithing detail that also spreads the holding pressure more evenly around the girdle.

Do split claws hold as securely as plain ones?
Yes, and arguably better. More contact points mean the pressure is distributed rather than concentrated, though each individual finger is finer, which is why we recommend 14K over 18K for daily wear.

What is an elongated cushion?
A cushion cut stretched into a rectangle while keeping its softly rounded corners. It runs along the finger and slims the hand the way an oval does, while retaining the antique character of a cushion.

Why is the band plain?
Because the claw work is the design. Adding pave would compete with a detail that is already asking for attention at the head.

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.

How long does it take to make?
Production usually takes ten to fourteen working days, plus shipping time to your address.

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 elongated cushion achievable. It is created without mining, so there is no excavation and no doubt about origin. Every centre stone we set is independently certified.
