Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Solitaire Ring on a Plain Rounded Band

Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Solitaire Ring on a Plain Rounded Band

An oval cut lab grown diamond held in four claws on a plain rounded band. No accents, no halo, no detailing of any kind. The oval is the most requested alternative to a round brilliant because it delivers the same brilliant faceting in a shape that spreads further across the finger, and this setting exists purely to show that off.

A rounded shank rather than a flat one is a small decision that matters in wear. The curved profile has no edges to press against neighbouring fingers, which makes it one of the most comfortable bands to wear all day, every day, for years.

Band details

The shank is a slim band with a rounded outer profile and a smooth polished surface, unbroken from the head all the way around. Because there are no stones set into it, this ring is straightforward to resize, simple to engrave inside, and it will pair with absolutely any wedding band you choose later.

Metal options

Choose from 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K and 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. Yellow gold is the classic choice and throws a warm reflection into the base of the oval. Rose gold reads softer and more modern. White gold and sterling silver make the claws disappear so the stone looks unsupported. Every metal is finished by hand in our workshop.

Ring size

This ring is available in a full range of US sizes. Select your size at checkout. If you are unsure of the size, contact us and we will help you measure at home before the ring is made.

We make every ring to order, which means the design can be adjusted.

Frequently asked questions

Does an oval look bigger than a round?
Yes. For the same carat weight an oval has a larger face up area because the weight is spread along a longer shape, so it looks noticeably bigger on the hand than a round brilliant of equal weight.

Does an oval flatter the finger?
It is one of the most flattering shapes because the length of the stone continues the line of the finger, which makes the hand look longer and more slender.

What is the bow tie effect?
Some ovals show a dark band across the centre where light is blocked. It comes from poor proportions. We select only well cut stones with excellent make, so the ovals we set do not show a visible bow tie.

Is a lab grown diamond a real diamond?
Yes. A lab grown diamond has the same carbon crystal structure, hardness, refractive index and fire as a mined diamond. The only difference is that it was grown in a controlled environment rather than pulled from the ground.

Will I receive a certificate?
Yes. An IGI certificate for the center stone is included with every order at no additional cost.

Can this ring be resized?
Easily. A plain unstoned shank is the simplest kind of band for a jeweller to size up or down, which makes this a practical choice if you are not certain of the size.

Which metal is best for daily wear?
14K and 18K gold are the most durable choices for a ring worn every day. 10K is harder still. Sterling silver is softer and suits gentler wear or a first ring.

Why buy a lab grown diamond

A lab grown diamond gives you the same optical and physical properties as a mined stone at a far better price for the size and quality. Because the growth conditions are controlled, high color and high clarity stones like the E VVS2 used here are available in large carat weights that would be rare and costly in mined goods. It is also a traceable choice, with a known origin and no mining footprint.
