Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring with a Hidden Halo and Alternating Marquise and Round Shoulders

Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring with a Hidden Halo and Alternating Marquise and Round Shoulders

An oval cut lab grown diamond with a concealed halo wrapping the basket, on a shank set with marquise and round diamonds alternating one after the other down each shoulder. The accents are spaced along the band with polished metal between them rather than crowded into a continuous pave line.

Alternating two shapes solves a problem that a single repeated shape cannot. A row of identical rounds reads as texture, and the eye stops seeing the individual stones almost immediately. Break the rhythm by placing a pointed marquise between each round and the shoulders acquire a direction, running toward the centre stone rather than simply surrounding it. It is the same principle as a border pattern in architecture, where an alternating motif carries the eye along a line while a repeated one just fills it.

Accent stone details

• Hidden halo of round brilliant lab grown diamonds set around the basket beneath the centre stone
• Marquise and round brilliant lab grown diamonds alternating along each shoulder
• Marquise accents set lengthwise so their points run along the line of the band
• Matched to the center stone in color and clarity

Band details

The shank is slim and rounded, carrying the alternating accents along the upper half of each shoulder and running plain from there to the base. That plain lower section keeps the ring comfortable and leaves a jeweler somewhere to work if the size ever needs adjusting.

Metal options

Choose from 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K and 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. White gold is shown here and it lets the alternating shapes read purely as a pattern of light, with no metal colour interrupting the rhythm. Yellow and rose gold outline each accent instead, which makes the marquise and round shapes individually visible and gives the shoulders a more decorative, antique character.

Frequently asked questions

Why alternate marquise and round accents?
Two shapes in sequence give the shoulders direction and rhythm. A single repeated shape reads as texture and the eye passes over it, whereas an alternating pattern draws attention along the band toward the centre stone.

Will the marquise accents catch on things?
No. Each one is set low and lengthwise into the top surface of the shank with its points held under filed claw tips, so nothing stands proud of the band.

What is a hidden halo?
A ring of small diamonds set around the basket beneath the centre stone. It is invisible from above so the ring keeps a solitaire outline, and it shows as a line of light from the side.

Does an oval look bigger than a round diamond?
Yes. An oval spreads the same carat weight over a longer surface, so it shows a larger face on the hand, and its elongated outline lengthens the finger.

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.

Can this ring be resized?
Yes. The accents stop partway down the shoulders, so the base of the band is plain and can be cut and adjusted normally.

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.
