Round Brilliant Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring with a Hidden Halo and Pave Bridge

Round Brilliant Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring with a Hidden Halo and Pave Bridge

A round brilliant lab grown diamond in white gold claws on a plain yellow gold band, with a concealed halo around the basket and a second short line of pave running across the bridge below it, spanning the gap between the two shoulders.

The bridge is the piece of metal that arches under the head from one side of the shank to the other, and it exists to stop the two shoulders spreading apart under load. On most rings it is a plain bar that nobody is meant to notice. Setting it with a row of diamonds turns the one part of the ring you only ever see when you look through it into something worth looking at, and because it sits below the hidden halo, the two rows together make a small stepped structure of light under the stone that is completely invisible from above.

Band details

The shank is a plain polished band carrying no stones, rising into two shoulders that are tied together by the pave set bridge beneath the head. Because the bridge takes the spreading load, the band itself can stay slim without the setting flexing.

Metal options

Choose from 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K and 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. Yellow gold with a white gold head is the version shown, which keeps the claws invisible against the diamond while the band stays warm. Rose gold works the same way. Choose white gold or sterling silver throughout and the ring is made in a single metal, since a contrasting head adds nothing to an already white shank.

Frequently asked questions

What is the bridge on a ring?
The bar of metal that arches under the head between the two shoulders. Structurally it stops them spreading apart. Here it is set with a row of diamonds so it becomes part of the design.

Can you see the bridge stones when the ring is worn?
Only from the side or when looking through the ring. From above the design reads as a plain solitaire on a plain band.

Why are the claws a different metal?
A yellow or rose gold claw reflects its colour into the crown of the diamond and shows as a warm mark. A white gold claw does not, so the stone reads exactly as graded while the band stays warm.

Why is a round brilliant the most popular cut?
Its fifty seven facets are proportioned specifically to return light through the top of the stone, so it produces more sparkle than any other shape, and it is the only cut with a full internationally agreed cut grade.

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.

Can this ring be resized?
Yes. The band carries no stones and both accent rows sit well above the section a jeweler cuts.

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.
