Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring with a Hidden Halo on a Petite Twisted Vine Band

Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring with a Hidden Halo on a Petite Twisted Vine Band

An oval cut lab grown diamond in four claws over a pavé set hidden halo, on two very slender strands that twist around one another, one carrying scalloped pavé and the other left plain and polished.

The word that matters here is petite. This is a twisted vine shank built at the smallest gauge we can work at, so each of the two strands is closer to a wire than to a band, and the whole shank measures barely more than a plain fine solitaire band would. That has a specific effect on the stone. A twist normally adds visual weight to the shoulders because two strands together are wider than one, but at this gauge the twist adds movement without adding bulk, so the centre stone still reads as large as it would above a plain thin band. One strand is set with scalloped pavé, where the metal between each pair of stones is cut away in a small curve so light reaches them from the side, and on a strand this narrow that scalloping is the only thing that keeps the pavé from looking like a grey thread. The second strand is left entirely plain, so as the two cross and recross you see a bright line of diamond, then a bright line of metal, alternating down each shoulder. Beneath the stone a hidden halo follows the full oval outline on the outer wall of the collar.

Two very slender strands twisting around one another the whole way round, one scalloped pavé and one plain polished, built at the finest gauge we work at. The interior is smooth and comfort rounded.

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.

What does petite mean on a twisted band
Both strands are made at the finest gauge we can work, so the twist together is barely wider than a plain thin solitaire band. You get the movement of a twist without the extra visual weight.

How is this different from your other twisted rings
One is a milgrained ribbon twist solitaire, another is a three stone with half moon sides on a heavier two strand twist. This is the petite version, a solitaire with a hidden halo on the finest twist we make.

What is scalloped pave
The metal edge between each pair of stones is cut away in a small curve, so light enters each stone from the side as well as from above. On a strand this narrow it is what keeps the pavé bright.

Why is only one strand set with diamonds
So the twist alternates between diamond and polished metal as it turns. Setting both strands at this gauge would leave no metal visible and the twist would read as a single flat paved band.

Is a petite twist strong enough for daily wear
Yes in 14K or 18K gold, which we recommend at this gauge. Two twisted strands are also stiffer than one strand of the same total weight, so the shank resists bending better than its thickness suggests.

Can this ring be resized
Only slightly. Cutting the shank breaks both strands and the pavé run, so for larger changes we prefer to remake the band at the correct size.

Why buy a lab grown diamond

A petite shank exists to make the centre stone look as large as possible, which means the stone has to hold up to being the only thing you look at. Lab grown material is how an E colour VVS2 oval of two to five carats with excellent cut and polish sits above a shank this fine at this price, with a traceable origin and no mining.
