Elongated Radiant Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring on a Slim Rounded Shank

Elongated Radiant Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring on a Slim Rounded Shank

An elongated radiant cut lab grown diamond held in four claws on a slim rounded shank. The stone runs lengthwise along the finger and nothing else on the ring competes with it. No accents, no halo, no shaping in the band.

An elongated radiant is one of the largest looking cuts available. It has the cropped corner outline of an emerald cut but a brilliant faceting pattern underneath, so it holds the crisp rectangular shape while throwing the broken fire of a round. Stretched longer, that rectangle covers a striking amount of finger, and on a narrow plain shank there is nothing beside it to make it look smaller.

Band details

The shank is a slim band with a rounded outer profile and a smooth polished surface running unbroken from the head all the way around. Because nothing is set into it, the ring is straightforward to resize, easy to engrave inside, and it will pair with any wedding band you choose later. The rounded profile also sits comfortably against neighbouring fingers.

Metal options

Choose from 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K and 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. Yellow gold gives the long rectangle a warm border that makes the outline unmistakable. Rose gold reads softer and more contemporary. White gold and sterling silver make the claws vanish so the diamond appears to sit directly on the finger. Every metal is finished by hand in our workshop.

Frequently asked questions

What is a radiant cut diamond?
A radiant cut is a rectangular or square stone with cropped corners and a brilliant faceting pattern underneath. It combines the clean outline of an emerald cut with the fire of a round brilliant, which is why it sparkles far more than a step cut of the same shape.

What does elongated mean?
It refers to the length to width ratio. An elongated radiant is stretched into a longer rectangle rather than a near square, which covers more finger for the same weight and makes the hand look longer.

Are the corners of a radiant fragile?
No. The corners are cropped rather than pointed, which is precisely why the cut was designed that way. It is one of the more durable fancy shapes and needs no special protective claws.

Does a plain shank make the diamond look bigger?
Yes. With no accents beside it the eye has nothing to measure the stone against, and a narrow band makes the head look proportionally larger.

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.

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.
