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

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

An oval cut lab grown diamond raised over a hidden halo, held on a split shank that wraps around the centre stone rather than simply parting beneath it. The two arms of the band separate low on the finger, curve up and around the basket, and finish against the stone from opposite sides, with pave running the length of both arms. The result is a setting with real architecture to it, the diamond appears suspended inside the metal rather than sitting on top of it, and the open spaces between the arms keep the whole thing from looking heavy. 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 makes the split arms read almost as one continuous line of diamond. Yellow and rose gold show the wrapped structure far more clearly, because the warm metal outlines each arm against the stone.

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.

Want a plain split shank without pave, the hidden halo removed, a simple straight band instead of the split, a different centre shape, engraving inside the shank, or a contoured wedding band shaped to nest against the split, 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 split shank engagement ring

A split shank is a band that divides into two or more arms as it approaches the centre stone instead of continuing as a single unbroken loop. It widens the top of the ring visually, which makes the centre stone look larger, and the open space between the arms lightens a design that would otherwise feel solid. On this ring the arms also wrap around the basket, which is a step beyond a standard split.

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 outline stays clean. From the side and from the wearer's own eye level it catches light and makes the centre stone appear to float.

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.

Will a wedding band sit flush against a split shank

Not against a straight band, because the split widens where the two rings would meet. Most customers choose a contoured band shaped to follow the curve of the split, or wear a plain band lower on the finger with a deliberate gap. We can make a contoured band matched to this exact ring, just ask when you order.

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.

Why do oval diamonds look bigger than round diamonds of the same weight

An oval spreads its weight across a longer surface, so for the same carat weight it presents a larger face up area than a round brilliant, typically around ten percent more. It also elongates the finger visually. That is why oval is the most requested elongated shape for engagement rings.

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. For most buyers the practical result is simple, a bigger and cleaner diamond, with a paper trail you can actually verify.
