Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring in a Pave Set Bezel with Milgrain Rails

Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring in a Pave Set Bezel with Milgrain Rails

An oval cut lab grown diamond held in a full rub over bezel whose outer wall is pavé set with a continuous row of round brilliants between two milgrain rails, with a small pavé arch bridging the underside of the bezel to the shank.

A bezel is normally a piece of solid metal, and that solidity is the trade you accept for the security it gives. This one refuses the trade. The wall of the bezel is deep enough to be treated as a surface in its own right, so instead of leaving it plain the setter has cut a channel around its entire circumference and bead set a full row of small round diamonds into it, then finished the row with a fine milgrain rail along its top and bottom edges. From above the ring reads as a clean bezel with a beaded rim. From the side, which is where a bezel is usually at its plainest, it reads as a band of diamonds wrapping the whole stone. The result is a setting that gives you the complete protection of a bezel and the brightness of a halo at the same time, without a halo's wider footprint. Beneath the bezel a short pavé arch runs from the underside down to the top of the shank, catching light in the space under the stone where nothing usually happens. The shoulders themselves divide into a narrow slit and the shank is left entirely plain.

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 milgrain rails frame the paved wall clearly. In white gold the paved bezel wall reads as one continuous band of light.

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.

We can change the carat weight, leave the bezel wall plain, remove the milgrain, extend pavé onto the shoulders, or make a matching milgrain 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.

How is this different from a halo
A halo sets its stones on the top surface, around the outline of the centre stone, so it widens the head. This sets them into the side wall of the bezel, so the footprint stays the same and the sparkle appears in profile instead.

How is this different from your other bezel rings
Our other bezels are plain, whether slim, tall, flush into a wide band, or milgrain rimmed with claws over it. This is the only one whose bezel wall is fully pavé set.

Is the pave on the bezel wall secure
Yes. The stones sit in a channel cut into thick metal with beads raised on both sides and milgrain rails protecting the edges, so they are recessed below the outer surface rather than exposed on it.

What is the small pave arch under the stone
A short bridge of pavé running from the underside of the bezel to the shank. It catches light in the gap beneath the stone, which is normally dead space on a bezel ring.

Can this ring be resized
Yes, comfortably. The shank is plain and carries no stones.

How long does the ring take to make
The bezel is turned to fit the individual stone and then channelled, set and milgrained by hand, so allow twenty two to twenty six working days before dispatch.

Why buy a lab grown diamond

A bezel shows the whole face of the stone with no claws breaking the outline, so colour and clarity are fully on display, and a paved wall right beside the centre stone means the accents must match it closely. Lab grown material delivers both, so an E colour VVS2 oval of two to five carats sits inside matched pavé, in fully hallmarked metal, with a traceable origin and no mining.
