The shank narrows and swells along its length, pave runs through the swollen sections, and short thorns rise from it where the vine meets the head.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe thorns are structural, not just decorative. A vine shank is deliberately uneven, and every point where it narrows is a point where the metal is thinner and would bend more readily than a plain band of the same weight. Placing a thorn at each of those junctions puts a small buttress of solid gold exactly where the section is weakest, so the ring keeps the organic profile without becoming fragile. It also solves a setting problem. Pave needs a flat enough bed to hold beads, and a continuously curved vine offers none, so the thorns mark the points where the carving flattens briefly to accept stones. Everything decorative here is the visible end of something the ring needed anyway, which is the difference between carved work and a plain band with texture applied to it.\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: micropave running through the swollen sections of the carved vine\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 shank is hand carved so that it swells and narrows along its length, with short thorns rising at the junctions where the vine meets the head.
