Round Brilliant Lab Grown Diamond Ring with a Terminated Marquise and Round Accent Run

Round Brilliant Lab Grown Diamond Ring with a Terminated Marquise and Round Accent Run

A round brilliant lab grown diamond in claws on a fine band, with marquise and round accents descending each shoulder and then stopping. They do not dwindle away into the metal. The last stone is a full sized one, and after it the band is simply plain.

How an accent run ends is a decision as real as how it begins, and most designs get it wrong by default. The instinct is to fade: make each stone slightly smaller until the smallest is barely visible, then let the band continue. The problem is that a fade has no edge, so the eye cannot tell where the decoration was meant to finish, and the shoulder looks as though the setter ran out of stones. Ending on a full sized accent creates a defined terminus instead. The eye reads a beginning, a middle and a deliberate stop, which is why old jewellery so often ends a shoulder abruptly rather than tapering it into nothing. It also leaves a clean length of plain shank, which is where the ring is resized and where it rests against a wedding band, so the decision earns its place practically as well as visually.

Accent stone details

Band details

The shank is fine, carrying the accent run through its upper third and left entirely plain below the terminus. That plain length is deliberate and is where any future resizing is done.

Metal options

Choose 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K or 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. Every metal is fully hallmarked. Rose gold, close to the tone in the photographs, warms the plain length below the accents so the stop reads clearly rather than disappearing.

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, and we position the terminus so the proportions hold at any size in our range.

Custom orders

We can change the carat weight, the centre stone shape, extend the accent run further round the band or change the accent shapes. 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 is carbon in the same crystal structure as a mined diamond, with the same hardness and the same optical properties, graded on the same scales.

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

Why does the accent run stop abruptly
Because a fade has no visible edge and reads as unfinished. Ending on a full sized stone gives the shoulder a defined terminus and leaves clean metal below it.

Why is the round brilliant graded differently to other shapes
It is the only cut for which the major laboratories issue a full cut grade, because its symmetry can be measured against an agreed ideal.

Are the marquise accents durable
Yes. Each is set lengthwise with both points inside claws, which is the standard way to protect a marquise in a shank.

Can this ring be resized
Yes, easily. The plain section below the terminus is exactly where resizing is done.

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

Why buy a lab grown diamond

A lab grown diamond gives you a larger stone and a higher colour and clarity grade for the same budget, with a traceable origin and no mining. In a short accent run every stone is individually visible, so matched colour across them is doing real work.
