Marquise and Pear Lab Grown Diamond Cluster Ring in a Compass Point Setting

Marquise and Pear Lab Grown Diamond Cluster Ring in a Compass Point Setting

Five lab grown diamonds are arranged the way a compass rose is drawn. A marquise cut lies flat across the centre and four pear cuts push outward from its corners, points first, so the head resolves into a four point star. Nothing is set into the band. The whole design lives in the top third of the ring and the shank below stays a plain polished curve.

Cluster rings like this borrow their geometry from Georgian and Victorian jewellery, where a single large stone was often too costly and makers instead composed a shape out of several smaller ones. Built with lab grown diamonds the same idea gives you a very wide face up spread for the weight, and a silhouette that no solitaire can copy.

Center stone details

• Shape: Marquise cut, laid horizontally at the centre of the cluster
• Stone type: Lab grown diamond, IGI certified
• Carat weight: 2, 3, 4 or 5 carat, selected at checkout
• Color grade: E
• Clarity grade: VVS2
• Cut and polish: Excellent make, excellent luster
• Setting: Prong set with V tips protecting each marquise point
• Certification: IGI certificate of the center stone is included at no extra charge

Accent stone details

• Four pear cut lab grown diamonds, set at the four corners of the marquise
• Each pear points outward so the group reads as a compass rose
• Matched to the center stone for color and clarity
• Individually prong set with open backs so light passes through every stone

Band details

The shank is a plain rounded band that meets the cluster without any transition detail. Keeping it bare is a deliberate choice. A pave line running into a five stone head would blur the star outline, and a plain shank also keeps the ring comfortable and easy to resize.

Metal options

Choose from 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K and 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. Yellow gold underlines the antique character of the cluster. Rose gold makes it read softer and more romantic. White gold and sterling silver let the five stones merge into a single bright shape. Every metal is finished by hand in our workshop.

Frequently asked questions

What is a compass setting?
A compass setting places accent stones at the four points of the centre stone the way north, south, east and west sit on a compass rose. It creates a star shaped outline and is a hallmark of antique inspired jewellery.

How much finger does this cluster cover?
Considerably more than the centre stone alone. Because four pears extend from the corners, a 2 carat centre produces a head that spans much wider than a 2 carat solitaire of any shape.

Is a lab grown diamond a real diamond?
Yes. A lab grown diamond has the same carbon crystal structure, hardness, refractive index and fire as a mined diamond. The only difference is that it was grown in a controlled environment rather than pulled from the ground.

Will I receive a certificate?
Yes. An IGI certificate for the center stone is included with every order at no additional cost.

Are cluster rings hard to keep clean?
Not this one. The stones are individually set with open backs rather than packed into a closed frame, so warm water and a soft brush reach behind every diamond.

What wedding band suits this ring?
A straight band works because the shank is plain and the cluster sits above it. If you would prefer no gap at all we can shape a band with a shallow notch that follows the lower pears.

Which metal is best for daily wear?
14K and 18K gold are the most durable choices for a ring worn every day. 10K is harder still. Sterling silver is softer and suits gentler wear or a first ring.

Why buy a lab grown diamond

A lab grown diamond gives you the same optical and physical properties as a mined stone at a far better price for the size and quality. Because the growth conditions are controlled, high color and high clarity stones like the E VVS2 used here are available in large carat weights that would be rare and costly in mined goods. It is also a traceable choice, with a known origin and no mining footprint.
