Round Brilliant Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring with Paired Accent Clusters

Round Brilliant Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring with Paired Accent Clusters

A round brilliant lab grown diamond in four claws, with a small group of round accent diamonds set on each shoulder and clear polished metal between the groups and the head. The accents sit together as a pair of clusters rather than running continuously down the band.

Leaving a gap between the centre stone and the accents is a deliberate decision and it works on the same principle as the space around a picture on a wall. Run pave right up to the head and the eye reads the whole top of the ring as one bright mass, which makes the centre stone harder to separate from its surroundings. Pull the accents back a few millimetres and the diamond gets a margin of plain gold around it. The stone is isolated, its outline reads clearly, and the clusters become a second point of interest rather than an extension of the first.

Accent stone details

• Small groups of round brilliant lab grown diamonds, one cluster on each shoulder
• Set back from the head with plain polished metal between the clusters and the centre stone
• Each accent claw set individually rather than in a shared channel
• Matched to the center stone in color and clarity

Band details

The shank is slim and rounded with a high polish. The accent clusters sit low into its upper surface partway along each shoulder, and the rest of the band, including the section directly beside the head, is left plain.

Metal options

Choose from 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K and 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. Yellow gold is shown here and warm metal is what makes the gaps read as deliberate space rather than as a missing row of stones. Rose gold does the same more softly. White gold and sterling silver reduce the contrast so the clusters float more quietly against the band.

Frequently asked questions

Why are the accents set back from the centre stone?
To leave a margin of plain metal around the diamond. Pave running right up to the head makes the whole top of the ring read as one bright mass, whereas a gap lets the centre stone stand on its own.

Will the clusters catch on anything?
No. Each accent is set low into the top surface of the shank with the claws filed flush, so nothing stands proud of the band.

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.

Does this design suit a smaller centre stone?
It suits any size, but it flatters a large stone particularly well, because the plain margin gives a big diamond room to be seen as a single object rather than as the brightest part of a busy ring.

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 base of the shank carries no stones, so a jeweler can cut and adjust it in the normal way.

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.
