{"product_id":"oval-lab-grown-diamond-solitaire-ring-ball-tipped-claws","title":"Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Solitaire Ring with Ball Tipped Claws","description":"\u003ch2\u003eOval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Solitaire Ring with Ball Tipped Claws\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn oval cut lab grown diamond held by four claws that finish in small polished spheres rather than flat pads, on a fine round shank with nothing else on the ring at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe whole design rests on how the claws end. A conventional claw is filed flat and rounded off, so it disappears against the stone and the eye reads only diamond. Here each claw swells into a small polished ball where it folds over the girdle, and that changes what you see. Four bright points of metal now sit on the outline of the oval at even intervals, so the stone gets a punctuated edge instead of a continuous one, and each ball throws its own small highlight that moves independently of the diamond's own fire. It is a detail borrowed from antique jewellery, where bead tipped claws were common, and it gives a very plain ring a piece of ornament without adding a single accent stone. Below the head the basket is a simple open cage, there is no halo and no under bezel, and the shank is a fine round wire of even width the whole way round.\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 claws finishing in polished ball tips, on an open basket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAccent stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo accent stones.

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 ball tipped claw\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA claw whose end is finished as a small polished sphere sitting on the stone, rather than filed into a flat rounded pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy choose ball tips\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey put four bright points of metal on the outline of the stone, which gives a plain solitaire a decorative edge without adding any accent diamonds. It is a detail taken from antique settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo ball tips hold the stone as securely as ordinary claws\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The ball sits over the girdle exactly as a filed tip does and carries slightly more metal, so if anything there is a little more material holding the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo they catch on clothing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLess than a pointed or talon claw, because a sphere has no edge. They sit close to the stone and present a rounded surface in every direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is this different from your other four claw oval solitaires\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOthers use slim claws, square claws, double tipped claws, six claws or curved claws, and several add a hidden halo or a pavé band. This is the only one finished with ball tips on a completely plain fine wire shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this ring be resized\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, easily. The shank is plain and even all the way round.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy a lab grown diamond\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith no accents, no halo and a fine shank, the stone is almost the entire ring, and an oval hides nothing at that size. Lab grown material is what makes an E colour VVS2 oval of two to five carats affordable in a setting this plain, in fully hallmarked metal, 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.
