Round Lab Grown Diamond Ring with Curved Graduated Accent Shoulders

Round Lab Grown Diamond Ring with Curved Graduated Accent Shoulders

A round brilliant lab grown diamond sits in six claws with accent stones that do not run in a straight line. They curve away from the centre stone in a shallow arc on each side, largest nearest the head and shrinking as they travel, so the shoulders look like a wave breaking away from the diamond rather than a row of pave leading into it.

Most accented shanks are symmetrical and straight because that is easier to set. Curving the line means every stone sits at a slightly different angle and depth, and the two sides have to mirror each other exactly or the ring looks crooked. The extra work buys a shape that moves.

Accent stone details

• Round brilliant and marquise cut lab grown diamonds along both shoulders
• Graduated from largest at the head to smallest at the far end of the curve
• Set in a shallow arc rather than a straight line
• Matched to the center stone for color and clarity

Band details

The shank is a fine band that stays narrow throughout and returns to plain metal beyond the curved accents. Keeping the lower half bare means the arc reads clearly as a shape with a beginning and an end, and it leaves plain metal a jeweller can work with if the ring ever needs resizing.

Metal options

Choose from 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K and 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. Rose gold suits the soft curve of the accent line and warms the whole ring. Yellow gold makes each accent read individually. White gold and sterling silver blur the arc into a single sweep of light. Every metal is finished by hand in our workshop.

Frequently asked questions

Why curve the accent stones?
A straight row leads the eye along the finger. A curve leads it around the centre stone and back, which makes the head look larger and gives the ring a sense of movement that a straight pave line cannot.

Why six claws instead of four?
Six claws spread the hold further around a round stone and cover slightly more of the girdle, which is the most chip prone edge. It is the traditional setting for a round brilliant.

Does a round brilliant sparkle more than other cuts?
Yes. Its fifty seven facets are angled specifically to return light straight back to the eye, so no other shape sparkles as hard at the same carat weight.

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 this ring?
Because the accents curve away from the head, a straight band sits neatly beneath them. We can also shape a contoured band that follows the arc if you want the pair to read as one design.

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.
