Emerald Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring with Corner Diamond Clusters

Emerald Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring with Corner Diamond Clusters

An emerald cut lab grown diamond is set upright with a small cluster of diamonds gathered at each of its four corners. The clusters do not form a halo. They sit only where the corners are cropped, so the outline of the ring becomes a stepped octagon rather than a rectangle inside an oval of pave.

That stepped outline is straight out of Art Deco jewellery, where corners were treated as features rather than as places for a shape to end. Combined with a step cut centre stone and a completely plain shank, the ring reads as architectural rather than romantic.

Accent stone details

• Clusters of round brilliant and marquise cut lab grown diamonds at each corner of the centre stone
• Arranged so the outline of the head reads as a stepped octagon
• Matched to the center stone for color and clarity
• Individually set with open backs so light passes through every accent

Band details

The shank is a fine plain band with no stones at all. Leaving it bare is what allows the corner clusters to be read as deliberate geometry rather than as the start of a pave line. It also keeps the ring easy to resize and comfortable for daily wear.

Metal options

Choose from 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K and 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. White gold and sterling silver suit an emerald cut best, because a step cut shows body colour more openly than a brilliant and a white setting keeps it icy. Yellow gold gives the Deco outline a warmer, more antique feel. Rose gold softens the geometry. Every metal is finished by hand in our workshop.

Frequently asked questions

What is an emerald cut diamond?
An emerald cut is a rectangular step cut with cropped corners. Its long parallel facets create a hall of mirrors effect, giving wide flashes of white light rather than fine sparkle. It is the most architectural of the classic shapes.

Does an emerald cut need a high clarity grade?
It benefits from one, because the open table shows inclusions more readily than a brilliant cut. The centre stone here is VVS2, a grade at which nothing is visible to the eye.

Why put the accents only at the corners?
A full halo would round off the outline and hide what makes an emerald cut distinctive. Placing the clusters only at the cropped corners keeps the stepped geometry visible and adds light exactly where the shape changes direction.

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.

Will a wedding band sit flush?
Yes. The shank is straight and plain and the head sits above it, so a straight band meets this ring cleanly with no gap.

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.
