Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring with Graduated Round Diamond Clusters

Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring with Graduated Round Diamond Clusters

An oval cut lab grown diamond in four claws with a cluster of round brilliants gathered against each shoulder, a large stone closest to the centre and progressively smaller ones packed around and beyond it, on a plain rounded band.

Every accent on this ring is a round brilliant, and the whole effect comes from varying their size and packing them tightly rather than from mixing shapes. Against each side of the centre stone sits a substantial round, large enough to read as a proper side stone in its own right. Immediately beyond it the setter has grouped three smaller rounds into a tight triangle, two along the top edge of the shank and one tucked below, and then a single smaller stone again to close the group. Because the stones touch rather than sit spaced apart, and because their sizes step down rather than repeat, the cluster reads as a drift of diamonds settling against the centre stone instead of as a row of accents. Using one shape throughout is what keeps it calm. A mix of marquise and rounds in this arrangement would be busy; all rounds means the only thing changing is scale, so the eye reads a gradient rather than a pattern. The band beyond the clusters is entirely plain.

Band details

A plain rounded shank carrying the clusters at the shoulders and running smooth and unset from there to the palm. The interior is smooth and comfort rounded.

Metal options

Choose 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K or 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. Every metal is fully hallmarked. Yellow gold is shown in the photographs, where the small claws between the packed stones read as warm points holding the group together.

Ring size

The ring is made to your finger size. Select your size at checkout. If you are unsure, we will send you a printable size guide before we begin work.

Custom orders

We can change the carat weight, add more stones to each cluster, space them apart instead of packing them, mix in marquise or pear accents, or make a matching cluster wedding band. Write to us through https://mapplegems.com/pages/contact and our workshop will prepare a quotation and a rendering before any metal is cut.

Frequently asked questions

Is a lab grown diamond a real diamond
Yes. It has the same carbon crystal structure, the same hardness of 10 on the Mohs scale and the same optical behaviour as a mined diamond, and it is graded on the same scales by the same laboratories.

Does the ring come with a certificate
Yes. An IGI certificate for the center stone is included at no extra charge.

Why use only round accents
Because the design already varies size considerably. Mixing shapes as well would make the clusters busy. With one shape throughout, the only thing changing is scale, so the eye reads a gradient.

How is this different from your other cluster and graduated rings
One scatters marquise and rounds asymmetrically. Another spaces graduated rounds in a single line with plain metal gaps. This one packs rounds of several sizes tightly together against each shoulder.

Why are the stones set touching rather than spaced
Packing them removes the metal between, so the group reads as a continuous drift of diamond settling against the centre stone rather than as separate accents in a row.

Are small tightly packed stones secure
Yes. Each is held in its own claws, and neighbouring stones brace one another, which is part of why close packed clusters hold well. We check every claw during servicing.

Will a wedding band sit flush against it
Not a straight band, because the clusters spread at the shoulders. A contoured band clears them, and we can make one shaped to this ring.

Can this ring be resized
Yes, within reason. The band is plain from beyond the clusters round to the palm.

Why buy a lab grown diamond

A packed cluster puts stones of several different sizes directly against one another, where any variation in colour or cut shows at once. Lab grown material gives a matched set across every size used, so an E colour VVS2 oval of two to five carats sits among accents that read as one continuous field, in fully hallmarked metal, with a traceable origin and no mining.
