Radiant Cut Lab Grown Diamond Solitaire Ring on a Flat Edged Tapered Band

Radiant Cut Lab Grown Diamond Solitaire Ring on a Flat Edged Tapered Band

A radiant cut lab grown diamond in four claws on a band with flat outer faces and crisp edges, tapering slightly as it rises toward the head.

Most plain bands are rounded on the outside, which is comfortable and forgiving but gives the metal a soft indistinct edge. A flat outer face with defined corners behaves differently. It carries a single hard highlight along each edge instead of a broad diffuse one across a curve, so the shank reads as two clean bright lines running to the stone rather than as a shiny tube. That squareness is the right partner for a radiant cut, which is itself a rectangle with cropped corners, and the two geometries agree with each other in a way a round band and a rectangular stone never quite do. Tapering the band as it approaches the head narrows those lines where they meet the setting, which makes the stone look wider than the metal supporting it, and the inside is still rounded so nothing is lost in comfort.

Band details

The band has flat outer faces with crisp edges and tapers as it rises to the head. The inside is comfort rounded so the square outside does not press on the finger.

Metal options

Choose 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K or 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. Every metal is fully hallmarked. White gold is shown in the photographs, where the flat faces catch a single bright line each.

Ring size

The ring is made to your finger size. Select your size at checkout. If you are unsure, we will send you a printable size guide before we begin work.

Custom orders

We can change the carat weight, round the band, add a hidden halo, or add pave to the tapered shoulders. Write to us through https://mapplegems.com/pages/contact and our workshop will prepare a quotation and a rendering before any metal is cut.

Frequently asked questions

Is a lab grown diamond a real diamond
Yes. It has the same carbon crystal structure, hardness and optical behaviour as a mined diamond and is graded on the same scales by the same laboratories.

Does the ring come with a certificate
Yes. An IGI certificate for the center stone is included at no extra charge.

Is a flat band less comfortable than a round one
Not here. The outside is flat but the inside is domed, which is the surface that actually touches the finger.

Why does the band taper
Narrowing the metal where it meets the setting makes the stone appear wider and stops the shank competing with it.

Does a flat edged band show scratches more
Flat surfaces show fine marks a little more readily than curved ones. We repolish free of charge for life.

Can this ring be resized
Yes, easily. The band carries no stones.

How long does the ring take to make
Each ring is made to order. Allow twelve to sixteen working days before dispatch.

Why buy a lab grown diamond

A plain band puts the whole budget into the stone. Lab grown material means that stone can be an E colour VVS2 radiant of two to five carats rather than something a great deal smaller, with a traceable origin and no mining.
