Emerald Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring with Micro Pave Knife Edge Band

Emerald Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring with Micro Pave Knife Edge Band

An emerald cut lab grown diamond in four fine claws on a slim knife edge band, with very small micro pave diamonds running along both shoulders and a hidden halo of tiny stones set into the collar beneath the center diamond.

A knife edge band is made with a raised ridge along its centre line rather than a flat or rounded top, so the shank catches a fine line of light along its length. Setting micro pave into a band shaped like that is difficult, because the seats have to be cut into a sloping surface and still hold the stones level, which is why most fine pave bands are flat.

The pave itself is deliberately small. Tiny stones keep the band looking like a fine wire, and the whole point of this design is that nothing distracts from the size of the center diamond. The hidden halo does the same job from below, adding brightness under the stone that you only see in profile.

The result is a very traditional shape done at a delicate scale. A large step cut diamond, an almost invisible band, and detail kept where it does not interrupt the outline of the stone.

Band details

A slim shank with a raised centre ridge, micro pave along the upper half and plain polished metal underneath. The ridge is finished smooth so the band is comfortable despite the edge.

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 finished with rhodium for a bright cool white, which is how this design is photographed and the option that makes the fine band disappear most completely under the stone.

Ring size

Every ring is made to order in your size. Select your size at checkout. If you are not sure of your size, order anyway and contact us, and we will help you confirm it before the ring goes into production.

Frequently asked questions

Is the center stone a real diamond
Yes. A lab grown diamond is real diamond. It has the same carbon crystal structure, the same hardness of 10 on the Mohs scale and the same optical behaviour as a mined diamond. The only difference is where it was grown.

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

What is a knife edge band
A shank with a raised ridge running along its centre instead of a flat or domed top. It reflects a fine line of light along the finger and makes a slim band look even finer.

Is micro pave durable
Yes, when set properly. Each stone sits in its own beads of metal. Because the stones are small, we recommend an annual check, which is included in our lifetime service.

Can this ring be resized later
Yes, within a size or two, using the plain metal underneath. First resizing is free.

How is this different from your other pave rings
Our French set pave ring uses larger stones with cut outs beneath them. Our tapering pave ring graduates the stone sizes. This design uses the smallest accents of the three on a knife edge shank, and adds a hidden halo.

Does a wedding band sit flush against it
The knife edge means contact is along the ridge rather than a flat face, so a straight band touches at the centre line. Many people wear this ring with a matching knife edge band, which we can make.

How do I clean it
Warm water, mild soap and a soft brush. Take care around the micro pave and do not use abrasive cleaners.

Which metal should I choose
White gold or sterling silver for the most invisible band. Yellow or rose gold if you want the fine line of the knife edge to show as warm metal against the diamonds.

Why buy a lab grown diamond

A lab grown diamond gives you the same material as a mined stone with a documented origin. This setting is designed to disappear under the center stone, so putting the budget into carat weight and clarity is exactly the right decision.
