Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring with Tapered Diamond Shank

Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring with Tapered Diamond Shank

An oval cut lab grown diamond held in four claws, on a shank whose diamonds and metal both narrow as they run back from the head of the ring. The stones nearest the centre are the largest and the widest point of the band sits directly under them, then everything reduces together towards the back of the finger. The effect is that the shoulders appear to funnel into the centre stone, which is the oldest trick in ring design for making a diamond look larger.

Center stone details

• Stone type: lab grown diamond, IGI certified
• Shape: oval brilliant, set lengthways along the finger
• Carat weight: choose 2, 3, 4 or 5 carat
• Colour grade: E
• Clarity grade: VVS2
• Cut, polish and symmetry: excellent

Side stone details

• Reducing in size as the band narrows towards the back
• Shared claw setting, each stone individually held
• Colour and clarity matched to the centre stone

Band details

The shank is at its widest where it meets the setting and tapers steadily towards the back of the finger, carrying diamonds along the wider section only. The narrow rear section is plain and rounded, which also allows the ring to be resized.

Metal options

Choose 925 sterling silver with rhodium plating, or solid 10K, 14K or 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. White gold, rhodium finished, gives the bright unified look shown in the photographs. Yellow gold outlines the taper and each side stone clearly. Rose gold is the warmest of the three. Every metal is hallmarked and every carat weight is available in every metal.

Ring size

This ring is made to order in your size. Select your size at checkout. If you are unsure of your size, order in the size you usually wear and contact us, we will help you confirm it before the ring is cut.

Custom orders

We can make the shank even in width instead of tapered, extend the diamonds further round, remove them for a plain band, or set a different centre stone shape and carat weight. Send us your idea through https://mapplegems.com/pages/contact and we will send back a quote and a rendering before any metal is cut.

Frequently asked questions

Is the centre stone a real diamond
Yes. A lab grown diamond is chemically, physically and optically identical to a mined diamond and is graded on the same scale by the same laboratories.

Does the ring come with a certificate
Yes. An IGI certificate for the centre stone is included at no extra cost with every order.

What does a tapered shank do
It puts the widest metal where the eye is looking and the narrowest where it is not. Practically it also puts the strength under the setting, where the load actually sits.

Are the side stones included in the carat weight shown
No. The carat weight you select refers to the centre stone. The side diamonds are supplied in sizes proportioned to it.

Is a tapered band comfortable
Yes, and many people find it more comfortable than an even band, because the narrow section sits between the fingers where a wide band would press.

Can I wear a wedding band beside it
Yes. A straight band sits flush against the widest part of the shank. Because the taper begins behind the setting there is no overhang.

How long does it take to make
Made to order rings usually leave our workshop within 12 to 16 working days. We confirm the date by email once your size is set.

Why buy a lab grown diamond

A lab grown diamond is grown from a diamond seed under the same heat and pressure conditions that create diamonds in the earth. It has the same hardness of 10 on the Mohs scale, the same refractive index and the same fire. What changes is the origin, the traceability and the price. For the same budget you can buy a considerably larger stone with a higher colour and clarity grade, and you know exactly where it came from.
