Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring Low Set on a Squared Edge Flat Band

Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring Low Set on a Squared Edge Flat Band

An oval cut lab grown diamond in four fine claws, set as low as a claw setting will go, on a wide band with a completely flat outer face and crisp square edges that holds the same width the entire way round.

This is a ring made almost entirely of two decisions about geometry. The band is flat, not domed and not rounded, and its edges are left square rather than softened, so the outer face reads as a clean strip of metal with a hard bright line down each side where the flat meets the wall. It also does not taper. Most solitaire shanks narrow at the back to save weight, which makes the ring read as a wedge from the side. This one keeps a constant width from the head all the way round, which is what gives it its architectural, almost band ring character. The second decision is height. The compact trellis basket sits directly on the surface of the band rather than on legs or a cathedral rise, so the pavilion drops into the shank and the stone sits as close to the finger as a four claw setting allows. That makes the ring far more practical than a raised solitaire, it does not catch on clothing or lean on the finger, and it also means a flat wedding band sits against it with almost no gap. Nothing else is added. No engraving, no milgrain, no pavé and no hidden halo.

Band details

A wide shank with a flat polished outer face and square unsoftened edges, holding the same width the entire circumference with no taper at the back. 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. On a flat squared band the metal reads as a solid block of colour rather than as a highlight, so the choice of tone matters more here than on a narrow rounded shank.

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, narrow or widen the band, bevel or round the square edges, brush the flat face instead of polishing it, raise the head, or make a matching flat squared 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.

What does low set mean
The basket sits directly on the band rather than on raised legs, so the pavilion drops into the shank and the stone sits close to the finger. It is the most practical way to wear a large stone.

Why square edges rather than rounded
Square edges give a hard bright line down each side of the flat face, which is what makes the band read as architectural. Rounded edges soften that line and make the same band look like a traditional court shank.

Why does the band not taper at the back
A constant width the whole way round makes the ring read as a band with a stone on it rather than as a wedge. It uses more metal, which is why most makers taper.

Will a wedding band sit flush against it
Yes. Because the head is low and the band is flat, a flat wedding band sits against it with almost no gap. A rounded band will leave a small space.

Can this ring be resized
Yes. There is no pattern or pavé to interrupt, so it resizes several sizes in either direction. A wide band does need slightly more careful sizing, so we recommend a proper measurement.

How long does the ring take to make
Twelve to fifteen working days before dispatch.

Why buy a lab grown diamond

With no accent stones and no ornament, this ring is the centre stone and nothing else, so cut, colour and clarity are the only things carrying it. Lab grown material is how an E colour VVS2 oval of two to five carats with excellent cut and polish sits at this price, with a traceable origin and no mining.
