The band is deliberately thin, because a slim shank next to a big oval exaggerates the difference between them. The claws are drawn out fine and set at the very edge of the girdle rather than reaching over the crown, so almost none of the diamond is covered. The basket is cut away to nothing underneath, which lets light through the pavilion instead of trapping it. And then, sitting just below the girdle where you cannot see it face on, there is a low collar of small round brilliants set right around the head. That collar is the secret halo, and it does two things at once. It reflects light back up into the underside of the oval, which lifts the whole stone, and it fills the shadow that otherwise sits between a raised diamond and the finger. Look at the ring straight down and there is nothing but the oval and a hairline of gold. Turn the hand thirty degrees and a band of light appears beneath the stone that was not there a moment before.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCenter stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone type: lab grown diamond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: oval brilliant cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarat weight: 2, 3, 4 or 5 carat, selected at checkout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor grade: E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarity grade: VVS2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut and polish: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSymmetry: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting: four fine claws set at the girdle on an open cut down basket, north to south\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAccent stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA low concealed collar of pave round brilliants set around the head below the girdle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor grade: E to F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarity grade: VS or better\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe shank carries no stones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBand details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shank is round in section and deliberately slender, polished bright and left completely plain so that nothing competes with the centre stone.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the ring come with a certificate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. An IGI certificate for the center stone is included at no extra charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a secret halo\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA low collar of small diamonds set around the head below the girdle of the centre stone. It cannot be seen when you look straight down at the ring and appears only when the hand turns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes a thin band make the diamond look bigger\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, noticeably. The eye judges the stone against the width of the shank beside it, so a slender band exaggerates the size of the oval. It is the cheapest optical trick in jewellery and the most effective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a thin band strong enough for daily wear\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 14K or 18K gold, yes. We would not recommend the very finest section in 925 silver for someone who works with their hands, and we will thicken the shank on request at no extra cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy are the claws so fine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause every millimetre of claw covers a millimetre of diamond. Fine claws set at the girdle leave the crown of the oval almost completely open.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this ring be resized\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, easily and by several sizes, because the shank carries no stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does the ring take to make\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach ring is made to order and the secret halo is set by hand, so allow sixteen to twenty working days before dispatch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy a lab grown diamond\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis design hides nothing. There is no pave on the shank to distract the eye and no halo around the outline, so the colour and clarity of the oval are the entire ring. Lab grown material lets us put an E colour VVS2 stone of two to five carats in that exposed position, with a traceable origin and no mining.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur services\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIGI certificate for the center stone included at no extra cost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade to order in any size in our range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree resizing within the first year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsured worldwide shipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime cleaning and polishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom design service for changes to any element of this ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Mapple Gems\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a jewellery workshop in Surat, India, the city where a large share of the world's diamonds are cut and polished.
