The pattern runs down both shoulders and stops before the back of the finger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlternating two shapes along a shank is an old jeweller's device for making a narrow band look busier than it is. The reason it works is arithmetic. A marquise laid lengthwise covers around three times the length of a round of the same width, so a run made only of marquise stones needs very few of them and the band looks sparse, while a run made only of rounds needs many and the band looks like a plain pave line. Alternating the two gives you a long stone, then a short one, then a long one, and the eye reads the change in rhythm as detail rather than counting stones. It also solves a practical problem. The narrow tips of the marquise are the most vulnerable points on any accent stone, and here each tip sits directly against a round, whose curved girdle acts as a buffer and takes the knock first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCenter stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone type: lab grown diamond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: oval brilliant cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarat weight: 2, 3, 4 or 5 carat, selected at checkout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor grade: E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarity grade: VVS2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut and polish: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSymmetry: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting: claw basket with a concealed halo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAccent stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConcealed halo: round brilliants set into the basket wall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShank: marquise cut diamonds set lengthwise, alternating with round brilliants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor grade: E to F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarity grade: VS or better\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBand details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe alternating run covers the front of the band and stops at the shoulders, leaving the lower half plain.
