Emerald Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring on a Milgrain Marquise Station Eternity Style Band

Emerald Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring on a Milgrain Marquise Station Eternity Style Band

An emerald cut lab grown diamond is held in four corner claws above a band that does not stop being decorated at the shoulders. Marquise shaped stations, each edged in milgrain and set with a diamond, alternate with small round accents and continue around the shank in an unbroken repeat, the way an eternity band does.

Carrying the pattern the whole way round is the decision that separates this ring from an ordinary accented solitaire, and it comes with a real trade off. On most engagement rings the decoration stops roughly at the halfway point so that the lower shank stays plain, which leaves clean metal for a jeweller to cut and rejoin when the ring is resized. Once the pattern runs continuously there is nowhere to make that cut without interrupting the repeat, so the ring has to be built to your finger from the start and can only be altered by remaking a section of the band. What you get in exchange is a ring that looks finished from every angle, including from behind the hand, and that reads as a complete object rather than as a stone mounted on a plain support.

Band details

The shank is narrow and the stations sit only slightly proud of it, so the outer surface stays smooth to the touch. Each station is outlined in hand worked milgrain, which is what gives the band its antique character and keeps the shapes reading distinctly even at a glance.

Metal options

Choose 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K or 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. Every metal is fully hallmarked. Rose gold is shown in the photographs, and it suits milgrain particularly well because the copper in the alloy darkens the shadow between the beads.

Ring size

The ring is made to your finger size. Select your size at checkout. Because the pattern runs the full circumference we build the band to your size rather than resizing later, so please confirm your size carefully. If you are unsure we will send you a printable size guide before we begin work.

Custom orders

We can change the carat weight, the centre stone shape, stop the pattern at the halfway point if you would prefer an easily resizable shank, or omit the milgrain. 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 is carbon in the same crystal structure as a mined diamond, with the same hardness and the same optical properties, 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.

Can this ring be resized
Only by remaking a section of the band, because the pattern is continuous. We build to your size instead, and we will confirm it with you before starting.

Is a continuous pattern comfortable
Yes. The stations are low and the inner face of the band is smooth and rounded, so nothing presses into the finger.

What is milgrain
A row of tiny beads raised along an edge with a knurled wheel. It softens the outline of each station and hides the small marks a raised edge collects.

Will it pair with a wedding band
Yes, and a plain band suits it best: the engagement ring already carries the pattern, so a second decorated band beside it competes.

How long does the ring take to make
Each ring is made to order. Because the milgrain is applied by hand around the full band, production usually takes twelve to sixteen working days before dispatch.

Why buy a lab grown diamond

A lab grown diamond gives you a larger stone and a higher colour and clarity grade for the same budget, with a traceable origin and no mining. In a band with accents all the way round, it also makes it practical to match every small stone rather than accepting variation on the half nobody looks at.
