Hexagon Cut Lab Grown Diamond Solitaire Engagement Ring, E Color VVS2

Hexagon Cut Lab Grown Diamond Solitaire Engagement Ring

A solitaire engagement ring set with a hexagon step cut lab grown diamond on a plain slim band. Every ring is made to order and handcrafted by Mapple Gems in Surat, India, and every center stone ships with a free IGI certificate. A hexagon is a six sided geometric cut, faceted in steps like an emerald cut rather than in the many small facets of a brilliant. It is held by prongs at the corners on an unadorned shank, so the outline of the stone is the entire design.

Frequently asked questions

Is a lab grown diamond a real diamond? Yes. A lab grown diamond has the same carbon crystal structure, hardness and brilliance as a mined diamond. The only difference is that it is grown in a laboratory rather than extracted from the earth. It is graded by the same laboratories using the same criteria.

What color and clarity is the diamond in this ring? The hexagon cut center stone is E color and VVS2 clarity. On a step cut this matters more than on a brilliant, because the long open facets act like windows into the stone and show any tint or inclusion readily.

What is a hexagon cut? A hexagon has six straight sides and is usually faceted in steps rather than as a brilliant. It is a geometric cut with no traditional counterpart in classical jewelry, which is why it reads as distinctly modern despite the step faceting being very old.

Is a hexagon cut a rare choice? Yes. Rounds, ovals and emerald cuts account for the large majority of engagement rings. A hexagon is chosen by people who specifically do not want a conventional shape, and it is far less likely you will meet someone wearing the same ring.

Are the six corners fragile? The corners are the most exposed points, which is why each one is covered by a prong. The angles on a hexagon are wide and obtuse rather than sharp, so they are considerably more robust than the tip of a pear or a marquise.

Does this ring come with certification? Yes. Every center stone ships with an IGI certificate at no additional charge. IGI is one of the largest independent gemological laboratories grading lab grown diamonds.

Is this ring in stock? Every Mapple Gems ring is made to order rather than held as stock, so it is always available to buy. Production typically takes 7 to 10 business days before shipping.
