Elongated Cushion Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring in White Gold with a Concealed Halo

Elongated Cushion Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring in White Gold with a Concealed Halo

An elongated cushion cut lab grown diamond held by four slim claws over a concealed halo, on a fine white gold band with no stones on it at all.

An elongated cushion is a different stone from the square cushion most people picture. The square version is symmetrical in both directions, so its crushed ice sparkle scatters evenly and it reads as a soft glowing block. Stretch the outline and the internal facets stretch with it, which lines the scatter up along one axis and produces broader flashes running down the length of the stone rather than an even shimmer across it. That is why elongated cushions look brighter than their square counterparts at the same colour grade, and it is also why they suit a completely plain band. There is already a strong directional pattern in the stone, and adding accents along the shank would set up a second line competing with it. The shank is left as a fine unbroken wire so nothing argues with the length of the diamond.

Band details

The shank is a fine round wire running straight into the base of the basket, plain and polished the whole way round. Its thinness is what allows the elongated outline of the cushion to be read clearly against the finger.

Metal options

Choose 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K or 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. Every metal is fully hallmarked. White gold is shown in the photographs, where the claws almost disappear against the stone and the concealed halo is the only place metal and diamond are separated by a visible edge.

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.

Custom orders

We can change the carat weight, adjust the length to width ratio of the cushion, set the shank with pave, or remove the concealed halo. 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.

How is an elongated cushion different from a square one
Stretching the outline stretches the internal facets, which lines the sparkle up along one axis and gives broader flashes instead of an even shimmer.

Why is the band left completely plain
The stone already has a strong directional pattern. Accents along the shank would create a second line competing with it.

What is a concealed halo
Small diamonds set into the side of the basket rather than around the crown, lighting the profile without changing the outline seen from above.

Can this ring be resized
Yes, easily. The band carries no stones.

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

Elongated shapes have historically carried a premium because they use rough differently from a round. Lab grown material removes that scarcity pressure, so you get a larger stone at a higher colour and clarity grade, with a traceable origin and no mining.
