{"product_id":"oval-lab-grown-diamond-solitaire-ring-crossover-shank","title":"Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Solitaire Ring with a Crossover Shank","description":"\u003ch2\u003eOval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Solitaire Ring with a Crossover Shank\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn oval cut lab grown diamond in four claws on a plain polished band whose two ends do not simply meet the setting but pass over one another in a shallow twist directly beneath the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a plain solitaire with one piece of construction that changes how it sits. Instead of the shank running straight up into a basket, the two halves of the band separate slightly as they approach the head, cross over one another underneath the stone and then rise as the claws. It takes no extra metal and adds no stones, but it does three things. It lifts the head a couple of millimetres above the finger, which gives the oval air underneath and stops the stone looking pressed flat against the hand. It creates a small open space beneath the setting that a wedding band can tuck into, so the two rings sit closer together than a straight shank would allow. And it puts a soft curve into the profile of the ring, so the side view has movement in it rather than being two parallel lines meeting a box. The rest of the ring is left completely alone. No pave, no halo, no gallery decoration, no milgrain. The band is round in section, tapers very slightly toward the back and is polished bright.\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 rising from the crossover, set north to south\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAccent stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis is a true solitaire.

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 crossover shank\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe two halves of the band pass over one another beneath the head instead of meeting it straight on. It lifts the stone slightly, softens the side profile and opens a small gap for a wedding band.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the crossover make the ring weaker\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. The two halves are soldered where they cross, which gives the shoulders more metal in cross section than a plain shank of the same wire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill a wedding band sit flush\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCloser than with a straight shank, because the crossover leaves an open space beneath the head. A straight band tucks into it without touching the claws.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy choose a plain solitaire over a pave one\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNothing dates on a plain ring, nothing needs retightening, and the whole budget goes into the centre stone rather than into small accents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this ring be resized\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, easily and by several sizes, because the shank carries no stones. We cut at the back, away from the crossover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does the ring take to make\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach ring is made to order, so allow fourteen to eighteen working days before dispatch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy a lab grown diamond\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn a ring with no accents at all, the diamond is not part of the design, it is the entire design. Lab grown material lets us set an E colour VVS2 oval of two to five carats in that fully exposed position, 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.
