Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring in a Full Bezel Setting

Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring in a Full Bezel Setting

An oval cut lab grown diamond is held by a continuous collar of metal that wraps its entire girdle. There are no prongs anywhere on this ring. The bezel is the setting, and its rim is what draws the outline of the stone, so the oval reads as a single clean shape rather than a diamond gripped by claws.

A full bezel is the most protective setting there is. Nothing stands above the surface of the stone, nothing can bend or snag, and the girdle, which is the thinnest and most chip prone part of any diamond, is completely enclosed. It is what we recommend for people who work with their hands and never want to take a ring off.

Band details

The shank is a fine plain band that runs straight into the base of the bezel with no visible join, so the whole ring reads as one drawn line. There are no accent stones anywhere. Because the setting sits very low, this is among the easiest engagement rings to wear under gloves, through sleeves and during work.

Metal options

Choose from 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K and 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. White gold and sterling silver make the rim almost vanish into the stone so the outline looks frameless. Yellow gold draws a warm line around the whole oval and makes the shape unmistakable from across a room. Rose gold gives that same outline a softer blush. Every metal is finished by hand in our workshop.

This ring is available in a full range of US sizes. Select your size at checkout. If you are unsure of the size, contact us and we will help you measure at home before the ring is made.

Frequently asked questions

What is a full bezel setting?
A full bezel wraps a continuous rim of metal around the entire edge of the stone rather than holding it with prongs. It is the oldest setting style in jewellery and the most secure.

Does a bezel make the diamond look smaller?
A very thin rim adds a little metal around the outline, but it also frames the stone, which can make the head read larger overall. We keep the rim as fine as it can safely be so the diamond stays dominant.

Does a bezel reduce sparkle?
Slightly less light enters from the sides than with an open prong setting, but the pavilion is left open underneath so light still passes through the stone. The trade is a small amount of brilliance for a large gain in security.

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.

Is a bezel good for active hands?
It is the best choice. There is nothing raised to catch on fabric, nothing to bend out of position, and the stone edge is fully protected. Nurses, athletes, gardeners and anyone working with their hands usually prefer it.

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.
