Oval Lab Grown Diamond Ring with Alternating Marquise and Round Diamond Band

Oval Lab Grown Diamond Ring with Alternating Marquise and Round Diamond Band

An oval cut lab grown diamond sits on a hidden halo, and from the base of that halo the band runs away as a rhythm of stones rather than a solid line. Marquise cuts lie lengthwise along the shank with small rounds between them, so the shoulders read as a repeating pattern of pointed and circular shapes instead of an even row of pave.

The effect is closer to a vintage eternity band than a modern engagement shank. Because the accents are individually set with metal showing between them, the band keeps a delicate open look even though it carries a lot of stone.

• Every accent individually set with open metal between the stones

Band details

The shank is a fine band whose top face is given over entirely to the alternating marquise and round pattern. Because each stone is set in its own collet with space either side, light reaches the band from underneath as well as above, which is what keeps the shoulders looking airy rather than crowded.

Metal options

Choose from 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K and 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. Yellow gold gives the alternating stones a warm outline that shows off the pattern clearly. Rose gold makes it gentler and more antique. White gold and sterling silver blur the pattern into a single line of light. Every metal is finished by hand in our workshop.

Ask us about a pear or round centre on the same band, a different carat weight, the alternating pattern carried all the way around as an eternity band, an engraving inside the shank or a matching wedding band.

Frequently asked questions

Why alternate marquise and round accents?
Mixing two shapes gives the band a rhythm that a uniform pave row cannot. The pointed marquise stones lead the eye along the finger while the rounds break the line, so the shank looks designed rather than simply decorated.

What is a hidden halo?
A hidden halo is a ring of small diamonds set around the basket beneath the centre stone, facing outward. It is invisible from directly above and gives the ring a bright collar in profile.

Does an oval look bigger than a round?
Yes. For the same carat weight an oval spreads further across the finger than a round brilliant, which is why it is one of the most popular shapes for people who want maximum presence.

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.

Will a wedding band sit flush against this ring?
The accent stones sit slightly proud of the shank, so a straight band may leave a small gap. We can make a contoured band that follows the pattern if you would prefer them to sit tight together.

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.
