Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring with a Hidden Halo on a Fully Pave Set Shank

Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring with a Hidden Halo on a Fully Pave Set Shank

An oval cut lab grown diamond in four claws, with a concealed row of pave wrapping the basket beneath it and a shank pave set around almost its entire circumference. Seen straight down the finger there is barely a break in the light from one side of the ring to the other.

A colourless stone graded E is worth thinking about when choosing the metal. Colour in a diamond is judged face up against a white background, but on the hand the setting supplies that background, and a yellow or rose gold claw will bounce a warm cast into the pavilion of the stone. That is a pleasant effect on a warm toned diamond and it is why gold suits lower colour grades so well. On a high colour stone like this one a white metal setting keeps the diamond reading exactly as it was graded, which is the reason the version photographed here is white gold and the reason most people buying a D to F stone choose the same.

Band details

The shank is slim and carries pave for most of its circumference, with a short plain section at the very base kept free of stones so the ring can be resized properly. The inside surface is rounded and polished smooth for comfort.

Metal options

Choose from 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K and 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. White gold is shown and is the choice we would recommend for a high colour stone, since a white setting will not throw any warmth into the diamond. Yellow gold gives a deliberately warmer, more traditional look and outlines each pave stone. Rose gold sits between the two.

Frequently asked questions

Does the metal colour affect how white the diamond looks?
Yes. A yellow or rose gold setting reflects warmth into the stone, which flatters a lower colour grade. A white metal keeps a high colour stone like this E looking exactly as graded.

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 appears as a line of light from the side.

Why is a small section of the band left plain?
So the ring can be resized. The base of the shank is where a jeweler cuts to adjust the size, and it needs to be free of stones.

Does an oval look bigger than a round diamond?
Yes. An oval spreads the same carat weight over a longer surface, so it presents 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.

Does white gold need re-plating?
White gold is usually finished with rhodium, which wears slowly and can be reapplied inexpensively every few years. If you would rather never think about it, choose yellow or rose gold.

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.
