{"product_id":"oval-lab-grown-diamond-hand-engraved-scroll-shoulder-concealed-halo-ring","title":"Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring with Hand Engraved Scroll Shoulders and a Concealed Halo","description":"\u003ch2\u003eOval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring with Hand Engraved Scroll Shoulders and a Concealed Halo\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn oval lab grown diamond in split claws above a concealed halo, on a shank whose sides carry a scroll pattern cut into the metal by hand, with milgrain running along both edges. The engraving is on the flanks of the band, not the top, so it is seen from the side and in the shadow it casts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHand engraving and cast decoration produce different surfaces, and once you know what to look for the difference is unmistakable. A cast pattern is moulded, so every cut wall has the same slightly soft, granular finish as the rest of the ring, and the pattern is identical on both shoulders because both came from the same mould. Hand engraving removes metal with a graver, a hardened steel tool pushed through the surface, and the wall it leaves behind is burnished to a mirror by the tool itself as it passes. That is why a hand cut scroll flashes when the hand turns while a cast one stays dull, and it is why the two shoulders of an engraved ring are never quite identical. Our engraver cuts each side separately by eye against a drawn line, which is also why the work is priced by the hour rather than by the pattern.\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: split claws above 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 wall of the basket, visible in profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShoulders: small round brilliants set along the top face between the engraved panels\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 carries a hand cut scroll on each flank with milgrain worked along both edges, and a line of small accents along the top. Because the engraving is on the sides, it survives the everyday contact that wears the top face of a ring first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMetal options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K or 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. Every metal is fully hallmarked. White gold is shown in the photographs. Engraving cuts most cleanly in 14K and 18K gold; in sterling silver the softer metal takes a slightly broader line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRing size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ring is made to your finger size.

It is carbon in the same crystal structure as a mined diamond, with the same hardness and the same optical properties, graded on the same scales.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the ring come with a certificate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. An IGI certificate for the center stone is included at no extra charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow can I tell hand engraving from cast decoration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA hand cut wall is burnished to a mirror by the graver as it passes, so it flashes when the ring turns. A cast pattern has the same soft surface as the rest of the metal and stays dull.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the engraving wear away\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVery slowly, and it is on the flanks rather than the top face, which is where a ring wears first. We re-cut it free of charge whenever the ring comes in for servicing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the two shoulders identical\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, and deliberately so. Each is cut separately by eye, which is the signature of hand work rather than a mould.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this ring be resized\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWithin a moderate range. The engraved panels cannot be shortened, so a large change means re-cutting a section, which we will discuss with you first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does the ring take to make\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach ring is made to order. Hand engraving is slow, so production usually takes sixteen to twenty working days before dispatch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy a lab grown diamond\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA lab grown diamond gives you a larger stone and a higher colour and clarity grade for the same budget, with a traceable origin and no mining. On a ring where a significant share of the cost is hand labour rather than material, that saving is what makes the labour affordable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur services\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIGI certificate for the center stone included at no extra cost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade to order in any size in our range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree resizing within the first year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsured worldwide shipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime cleaning, polishing and re-cutting of the engraving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom design service for changes to any element of this ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Mapple Gems\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a jewellery workshop in Surat, India, the city where a large share of the world's diamonds are cut and polished.
