Emerald Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring on a Wide Flat Cigar Band

Emerald Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring on a Wide Flat Cigar Band

An emerald cut lab grown diamond held in four slim claws and set directly into a wide flat band of solid polished metal. There are no accent stones anywhere on the ring.

A cigar band is a broad, flat, straight sided shank of even width all the way round, and it changes what a solitaire looks like completely. Instead of a stone raised above a thin wire, the diamond sits into a broad plane of metal, framed on both sides by polished gold. It reads as one solid object rather than as a setting plus a band.

The width also does the work a halo usually does. A large flat surface around the stone reflects it and makes the whole top of the ring feel substantial, which is why this style suits people who want presence without added diamonds.

Because the band is wide, the finish matters more than usual. The outer face is polished flat and true, the edges are lightly softened so nothing digs in, and the interior is domed for comfort against the finger.

• Straight sides with lightly softened edges
• Mirror polished outer face
• No accent diamonds and no engraving
• Comfort domed interior

Band details

The band keeps its full width all the way around rather than tapering underneath, which is what gives a cigar band its balance on the hand. The stone sits low into the top face so nothing stands proud.

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. Yellow gold, shown here, is the classic choice for a cigar band because the broad polished surface shows the colour of the metal at its best.

Ring size

Every ring is made to order in your size. Select your size at checkout. A wide band fits more snugly than a narrow one, so if you are between sizes we usually recommend the larger. Contact us if you would like advice before we begin.

Custom orders

We can change the center carat weight, the color and clarity grade, make the band narrower or wider, or add a brushed or hammered finish. Write to us at https://mapplegems.com/pages/contact and we will quote your version.

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.

Is clothing or anything else in the photographs included
No. The lifestyle photographs show the ring worn on the hand for scale. You receive the ring only, in the metal, carat and size you select.

Should I size up for a wide band
Usually yes, by about a quarter to a half size. A wide band sits against more of your finger and feels tighter than a narrow one at the same measurement. Tell us and we will advise.

Can this ring be resized later
Yes, though a wide band takes more work to size than a slim one. Your first resizing with us is free.

How is this different from your other wide band rings
Our wide polished band solitaire tapers slightly toward the base. Our bezel wide flat band ring encloses the stone in metal. This design keeps full cigar band width all the way round with the stone claw set into the face.

Does a wedding band sit flush against it
Yes, the sides are straight and flat, so a plain band sits perfectly against it. Many people wear this ring on its own because the band is already substantial.

Will the wide polished surface scratch
It will pick up fine marks like any polished metal, and a broad flat face shows them a little more. A professional polish restores it and that is included in our lifetime cleaning service.

Which metal should I choose
Yellow gold for the boldest look, rose gold for warmth, white gold or sterling silver if you want the band to recede and the diamond to lead.

Why buy a lab grown diamond

A lab grown diamond gives you the same material as a mined stone with a documented origin. On a design with no accent stones, all of the budget goes into the center diamond, and a wide band needs a large stone to stay in proportion.
