Elongated Radiant Cut Lab Grown Diamond Solitaire Ring on a Plain Band

Elongated Radiant Cut Lab Grown Diamond Solitaire Ring on a Plain Band

An elongated radiant cut lab grown diamond in four claws on a thin polished band with no accent stones anywhere, so the whole ring is the stone and a line of metal.

The radiant cut is a hybrid. It has the rectangular outline and cropped corners of an emerald cut, but underneath it is faceted like a brilliant, with the same scattering geometry that makes a round sparkle. That combination gives it the finger coverage of a step cut and the fire of a brilliant at once, and the elongated proportions used here stretch the outline further so the stone reads longer on the hand. Pairing it with a completely plain band is a deliberate choice rather than a cheaper one. Accent stones on the shoulders compete with a radiant, because the shoulder stones flash on the same rapid timing as the centre and the eye cannot separate them. Remove them and the only thing moving on the hand is the diamond itself. The cropped corners also mean the claws sit on flat bevels instead of sharp points, which is why the setting can be this light without risk.

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 by the same laboratories.

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

What is the difference between a radiant and an emerald cut
They share the same rectangular outline with cropped corners, but the radiant is faceted like a brilliant underneath and sparkles rapidly, while the emerald cut is a step cut and flashes slowly.

What does elongated mean here
The stone is cut longer relative to its width than a standard radiant, which makes it look larger on the finger and slims the hand.

Why is there no pave on the band
A radiant already produces a lot of fire. Accent stones flashing at the same speed on the shoulders blur the outline of the centre stone rather than framing it.

Can this ring be resized
Yes, easily. The band is plain the whole way round, so it is one of the simplest designs to resize.

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

Why buy a lab grown diamond

With nothing else on the ring, the centre stone carries the entire piece and its grade is the only thing that matters. Lab grown material lets us put an E colour VVS2 radiant of two carats or more in a simple setting at a price a mined stone of the same grade could not reach, with a traceable origin and no mining.
