Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Engagement Ring with Hidden Halo and Twisted Pave Shank, E Color VVS2

Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Engagement Ring with Hidden Halo and Twisted Pave Shank, E Color VVS2

An oval cut lab grown diamond over a hidden halo, on a shank that twists as it circles the finger with pave running along the turning strands. The twist is what carries this design. Because the metal changes angle continuously, the accent stones set into it catch light at different points as the hand moves, so the band flickers rather than reading as one static line of sparkle. Above it the oval sits clean and unfussy, with the concealed halo doing its work out of sight. 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
• 18K Yellow Gold, 18K Rose Gold, 18K White Gold

All gold options are solid gold, never plated or filled. White gold is finished with rhodium for a bright white surface and blends the pave into the twist. Yellow and rose gold separate the strands visually, so the twist itself is more legible.

Ring size

Choose your ring size at checkout. We make every size from US 3 to US 13, including half sizes, at no additional cost. If you are unsure of the size, order anyway and contact us after checkout, we will help you confirm it before the ring goes into production.

Custom orders

Want a plain twisted shank without pave, a straight band, the hidden halo removed, a different centre shape, engraving inside the shank, or a wedding band shaped to follow the twist, we can make it. For any other customization request please contact us at https://mapplegems.com/pages/contact and we will quote it for you.

Frequently asked questions

What is a twisted pave shank

A twisted shank is a band formed from strands of metal that wrap around each other as they circle the finger. Setting pave into those turning strands means the stones sit at constantly changing angles rather than in a flat row, so the band catches light from more directions than a straight pave band does.

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 oval 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.

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.

Can a twisted pave shank be resized

Within a moderate range. There is more stone set metal than on a plain band and the twist has to stay symmetrical, so we would rather make it in the right size from the start. Tell us if you are unsure and we will help you measure before production.

Will a wedding band sit flush against it

Not perfectly, because the twist means the edge of the shank is not a straight line. Most customers wear a plain band slightly apart, or choose a contoured band shaped to follow one turn of the twist. We can make a matched band if you want the two to nest.

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.

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. 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.
