Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring in a Tall Bezel on a Fine Wire Band

Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring in a Tall Bezel on a Fine Wire Band

An oval cut lab grown diamond held in a deep rub over bezel with straight vertical walls and a rolled lip over the girdle, carried on a slim round wire shank that forks and meets the bezel from beneath.

Most bezels are shallow. The metal is drawn up thin around the stone and rolled over as tightly as possible so the setting almost disappears. This one is the opposite decision. The bezel is deliberately deep and its outer wall is left straight and vertical rather than tapered, so from the side it reads as a solid oval block of metal with the diamond set into its top face, and the lip that rolls over the girdle is a distinct rounded moulding rather than a knife thin edge. That gives the ring a weight and a presence at the head that a fine bezel never has, and it also means the girdle is protected on every side by a genuinely thick wall, which is the most secure way a large oval can be set. Against that mass the shank is kept as slender as we can make it, a plain round wire that forks into two arms and joins the underside of the bezel so a clear gap of air separates the setting from the band. The contrast between a heavy head and a fine shank is the whole idea. The bezel looks larger and the band almost disappears on the finger.

Accent stone details

Band details

A slim plain round wire shank, fully polished, forking into two arms at the shoulders and meeting the underside of the bezel so the setting stands clear of the band. 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 design with this much unbroken polished metal at the head the tone of the metal is the main colour decision in the ring.

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, thin the bezel to a fine rub over, brush or hammer the bezel wall, widen the shank, add pavé along the fork, or set a hidden diamond inside the bezel wall. 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.

Is a bezel setting secure
It is the most secure setting there is. Metal surrounds the girdle continuously rather than in four or six points, so there is nothing to bend, catch or wear through.

How is this different from your other bezel rings
Our other bezels use a slim tapered band, a wide flat band with the stone flush in it, trapezoid side stones, or a milgrain rim with claws over it. This one is a deep straight walled bezel with a rolled lip standing clear on a fine forked wire shank.

Does a deep bezel make the stone look smaller
The diamond's face is fully exposed, so the stone itself is not covered. The bezel wall reads as a frame around it, which makes the whole head look larger even though the visible diamond is unchanged.

Does a bezel reduce sparkle
Slightly less light enters through the pavilion sides than in an open claw setting, but the exposed table and crown still carry the brilliance. The tradeoff is complete protection of the girdle.

Can this ring be resized
Yes, several sizes in either direction. The shank is plain wire with nothing set into it.

How long does the ring take to make
A deep bezel is turned and fitted to the individual stone, so allow sixteen to twenty working days before dispatch.

Why buy a lab grown diamond

A bezel exposes the whole face of the stone flat to the eye with no claws to break up the outline, so colour and clarity are on full display. Lab grown material is how an E colour VVS2 oval of two to five carats sits in that position at this price, with a traceable origin and no mining.
