Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Hidden Halo Engagement Ring with Marquise and Round Accent Band, E Color VVS2

Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Hidden Halo Engagement Ring with Marquise and Round Accent Band, E Color VVS2

An elongated oval cut lab grown diamond held in four slim prongs, lifted on a hidden halo of small round diamonds set around the basket, above a band of alternating marquise and round accents. The oval sits in the classic north south position, running along the finger, which is the orientation that makes a finger look longer and a stone look larger for its weight. What gives this ring its character is the band, marquise stones laid point to point with round diamonds between them, a vintage detail that tapers towards the centre and lets the oval sit high and clear. Every diamond is a laboratory grown diamond, identical in carbon structure, hardness and brilliance to a mined diamond, graded E colour and VVS2 clarity. Each ring is made to order in our own Surat workshop and ships with a free IGI certificate for the centre stone.

Metal options

This ring is made to order in ten metal choices, so you can match it to jewellery you already wear.

• 925 Sterling Silver
• 10K Yellow Gold, 10K Rose Gold, 10K White Gold
• 14K Yellow Gold, 14K Rose Gold, 14K White Gold

All gold options are solid gold, never plated or filled. White gold is finished with rhodium for a bright white surface. Yellow gold is the metal shown in the photographs and it warms the stone and outlines every marquise clearly, while white gold lets the centre stone and the accent band merge into one continuous run of light.

Frequently asked questions

Is a lab grown diamond 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, the same refractive index and the same fire and brilliance as a mined diamond. The only difference is that it was grown in a controlled laboratory over a few weeks instead of underground over billions of years. No jeweller can tell the difference by eye, only specialist equipment reading growth patterns can separate the two.

What is a hidden halo

A hidden halo is a ring of small diamonds set horizontally around the basket underneath the centre stone, facing outward rather than upward. From directly above you do not see it, so the ring still reads as a clean solitaire. From the side and from the wearer's own eye level it catches light and makes the centre stone appear to float above the finger.

Why choose an oval instead of a round diamond

An oval spreads more surface area across the finger than a round diamond of the same carat weight, so it looks noticeably larger, and its elongated outline makes the finger appear longer and slimmer. It also keeps the brilliant faceting of a round, so the sparkle is comparable, and it is less common than a round solitaire without being unusual enough to date.

What is the marquise and round accent band

Instead of a continuous row of identical stones, this band alternates navette shaped marquise diamonds with small rounds, each set in its own prongs. The marquise stones point along the band, which draws the eye towards the centre stone and creates a lighter, more open look than a solid pave shank, with metal visible between the stones.

Does this ring come with a certificate

Yes. Every ring ships with a free IGI certificate for the centre stone. IGI is the International Gemological Institute, one of the largest independent diamond grading laboratories in the world. The certificate confirms the carat weight, the E colour grade, the VVS2 clarity grade and the laboratory grown origin. There is no extra charge for the certificate.

What does E colour VVS2 actually mean

E colour is the second highest grade on the diamond colour scale and sits inside the colourless range, so the diamond looks bright white with no warm or yellow tint. VVS2 means very very slightly included, the second highest clarity tier. Any inclusions are so small that a trained grader needs 10x magnification to find them and they are completely invisible to the naked eye.

How long will my order take and can I return it

Every piece is made to order, so nothing is pulled off a shelf. Production takes about 10 to 12 working days and shipping is 3 to 5 working days after that with tracked international courier. We accept returns and exchanges within 30 days of delivery on unworn pieces in original condition.

Why buy a lab grown diamond

A lab grown diamond gives you a materially identical stone for a fraction of the price of a mined equivalent, which is what makes a 4 carat or 5 carat oval centre realistic on a normal budget. That matters on this design in particular, because the slim marquise and round band is built to let a large centre stone dominate. Because the origin of every stone is documented from the moment it is grown, a lab grown diamond is conflict free by definition. Growing a diamond also avoids the open pit excavation, land disruption and water use that mining a comparable stone requires, so the environmental cost is considerably lower.
