Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring with Spaced Shared Prong Diamond Accents

Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring with Spaced Shared Prong Diamond Accents

An oval cut lab grown diamond in four claws with three graduated round brilliants running down each shoulder, each one held between shared prongs and separated from its neighbour by a clear gap of plain polished metal.

Pavé puts stones shoulder to shoulder so the band reads as a continuous line of light. This does the opposite on purpose. Each accent is set on its own between a pair of prongs shared with the next stone along, and between them the shank is left as bare polished metal, so instead of one bright line you get six distinct points of light with gold showing between them. The stones are graduated, largest nearest the centre and smaller as they travel outward, which pulls the eye inward towards the oval and keeps the shoulders from looking like a row of identical dots. Because each stone is held only at two points rather than being sunk into a channel of metal, far more of its pavilion is left open, so light enters from underneath and from both sides. That is the whole reason for setting this way: individually, a spaced shared prong stone returns more light than the same stone bead set in a pavé run. The band itself is fine and round, which keeps the focus on the spacing rather than the metal.

Band details

A fine round shank, plain and polished between the spaced accents, with no pavé, engraving or milgrain. 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, and the warm gaps between the stones are a large part of the effect. In white gold the spacing reads more subtly.

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, add more accents along the shoulders, use equal sized stones instead of graduated ones, close the gaps into a continuous shared prong run, or make a matching spaced 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 is shared prong setting
Each prong holds two neighbouring stones at once rather than each stone having its own four. It uses less metal, so more of each stone is left open to light.

Why leave gaps between the accents
So each stone reads as its own point of light with metal showing between, rather than merging into one continuous bright line as pavé does. It is a quieter, more deliberate look.

Does spaced setting sparkle less than pave
There are fewer stones in total, but each one returns more light because its pavilion is open on both sides rather than buried in metal. The effect is fewer, brighter flashes instead of a constant shimmer.

Why are the accents graduated
Larger stones nearest the centre and smaller ones outward pull the eye inward towards the oval, and stop the shoulders reading as a row of identical dots.

How is this different from your other shared prong ring
Our other shared prong design runs its stones continuously with no gaps. This one spaces them individually and graduates their size.

Can this ring be resized
Yes, within reason. The plain sections between accents give a clean place to make a sizing cut, which is an advantage this design has over a fully paved shank.

Why buy a lab grown diamond

Spaced setting exposes each accent completely, with no neighbouring stone or surrounding metal to disguise it, so every one has to match the centre and match the others. Lab grown material makes that matching straightforward, so an E colour VVS2 oval of two to five carats sits above six properly matched graduated stones, in fully hallmarked metal, with a traceable origin and no mining.
