Princess Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring on a Twisted Vine Band with Hidden Halo

Princess Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring on a Twisted Vine Band with Hidden Halo

A princess cut lab grown diamond sits on a shank that does not run straight. The band divides into two fine strands that wind around each other as they climb toward the head, and small marquise shaped leaves and round diamonds are set where the strands cross. Beneath the centre stone a hidden halo of pave circles the basket.

Pairing a sharply geometric stone with an organic setting is a deliberate contrast. A princess cut is all straight edges and right angles. Wrapping it in a growing vine stops the ring from reading as severe, and it gives a square stone the softness that usually only comes from a round or oval.

Band details

The shank is formed from two fine strands that twist around one another from the back of the finger up to the head, where they open out to cradle the basket. Every twist is shaped and polished by hand. Because the strands are slim the ring stays light on the finger even though the design carries a lot of detail.

Metal options

Choose from 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K and 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. Yellow gold gives the vine a warm living colour and suits the botanical shapes. Rose gold makes it softer and more romantic. White gold and sterling silver turn the same design frosty and let the geometry of the princess cut dominate. Every metal is finished by hand in our workshop.

Frequently asked questions

Are the corners of a princess cut fragile?
The four points are the most vulnerable part of the shape, which is why this setting uses claws with V shaped tips that fold over and shield each corner. Protected that way a princess wears as reliably as any other cut.

What is a hidden halo?
A ring of small diamonds set around the basket beneath the centre stone, facing outward. It is invisible from directly above and lights the ring in profile.

Does a twisted band catch on things?
No. The strands are polished smooth and sit flush against each other, so there are no raised edges. It feels the same on the finger as a plain band.

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.

What wedding band suits a twisted vine ring?
A matching twisted or vine band nests naturally into the curve. A plain straight band also works and gives a deliberate contrast. We can make either to fit this exact ring.

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.
