Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring with Six Claws and a Compact Pave Collar

Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring with Six Claws and a Compact Pave Collar

An oval cut lab grown diamond held in six slender claws above a small tightly pavé set collar, on a fine rounded shank carrying pavé for three quarters of its length and finishing with a clean squared stop.

Two details separate this from the ordinary. The first is six claws rather than four. On a long stone like an oval the girdle runs a considerable distance between the two end points, and four claws leave the middle of each long side entirely unsupported. Adding a claw to each flank closes that gap, which does two useful things: it holds the stone against side pressure far better, and it visually breaks the outline into three shorter arcs per side so the oval reads a little rounder and fuller than the same stone in four claws. The second is the collar. Rather than a hidden halo that follows the whole oval outline, this is a compact pavé set block sitting directly under the stone, narrow and short, gripping only the middle of the setting. It is a deliberately restrained version of the idea. You get the flash of light bouncing up into the pavilion, and a small bright detail visible in profile, without the wider silhouette a full hidden halo gives the head. The shank is fine and rounded, paved for three quarters and then finished plain across the palm.

Band details

A fine rounded shank, pavé set across three quarters of its length with a squared stop, and plain polished across 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. White gold is shown in the photographs, which makes the six fine claws almost vanish against the stone. In yellow or rose gold the claws read as six clear warm marks around the outline.

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, use four claws instead of six, extend the collar into a full hidden halo, extend the pavé to full coverage, or make a matching pavé 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 six claws instead of four on an oval
Four claws leave the middle of each long side unsupported. A claw on each flank closes that gap, holds the stone better against side pressure, and makes the oval read slightly rounder and fuller.

Do six claws cover more of the diamond
Marginally, but each claw is made finer than it would be on a four claw head, so the total metal over the stone is very similar. The face of the stone stays fully open.

How is a compact collar different from a hidden halo
A hidden halo follows the entire oval outline and widens the head. This collar is short and narrow, gripping only the middle of the setting, so you get the light return without the wider silhouette.

Why does the pave stop three quarters of the way round
It keeps stones off the part of the band that takes the most wear and leaves the palm side free for resizing. The squared stop is a deliberate finish rather than a taper.

Can this ring be resized
Yes, comfortably. The plain quarter across the palm is where a sizing cut is made, so the pavé is never touched.

How long does the ring take to make
Sixteen to twenty working days before dispatch.

Why buy a lab grown diamond

Six fine claws and a slim paved shank leave the stone almost completely open to view, so cut, colour and clarity are what carry the ring. Lab grown material is how an E colour VVS2 oval of two to five carats with excellent cut and polish sits in a setting this open at this price, with a traceable origin and no mining.
