Emerald Cut Lab Grown Diamond Three Stone Ring with Round Brilliant Companions

Emerald Cut Lab Grown Diamond Three Stone Ring with Round Brilliant Companions

An emerald cut lab grown diamond stands upright between two round brilliants, each held in its own small claw setting, on a plain slim band. Three stones, two different cuts, one deliberate contradiction.

Most three stone rings match the cut of the sides to the cut of the centre. This one does the opposite, and the reason is optical rather than decorative. A step cut and a brilliant cut return light on completely different timescales. The emerald cut throws broad plates of white light that appear and disappear slowly as the hand moves, while a round brilliant scatters small flashes of colour continuously with the slightest movement. Placing the two side by side means the ring is never quiet: when the centre stone is dark at a given angle the rounds are still firing, and when the centre flashes it dominates completely. There is a practical constraint that comes with it. The rounds must be cut shallow enough that their tables sit slightly below the table of the emerald cut, because a round set too high will visually cut the long line of the centre stone in half. Matching those heights across four different carat weights is the part of this design that takes the work.

Side stone details

• Stone type: lab grown diamond

• Color grade: E to F
• Clarity grade: VS or better
• Setting: individual claws with an open back so light passes through

Band details

The shank is slim, plain and rounded, and it steps down immediately after the side stones so that the three stone group sits clear of the band rather than growing out of it. That step is what makes the group read as a row rather than a cluster.

Metal options

Choose 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K or 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. Every metal is fully hallmarked. Yellow gold, shown in the photographs, warms the claws around the rounds and separates them clearly from the cooler centre.

Ring size

The ring is made to your finger size. Select your size at checkout. If you are unsure, we will send you a printable size guide before we begin work, and we scale the side stones so the row stays proportionate at any size in our range.

Custom orders

We can change the carat weight, the size of the side stones, or substitute pear or trillion sides. 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.

Why round sides on a step cut centre
Because the two cuts behave differently in light. The rounds keep sparkling at angles where the emerald cut is momentarily dark, so the ring never looks flat.

What do the three stones represent
Traditionally the past, the present and the future. It is the reason three stone rings are chosen as often for anniversaries as for engagements.

How large are the side stones
They are scaled to roughly a fifth of the width of the centre stone, which keeps them clearly secondary at every carat weight we offer.

Can this ring be resized
Yes. The shank is plain below the side stones, so resizing is done in clean metal.

How long does the ring take to make
Each ring is made to order. Production usually takes ten to fourteen 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 three stone ring it also means all three can be grown to the same colour, which is difficult and expensive to achieve with mined stones.
