{"product_id":"round-lab-grown-diamond-ring-carved-twig-band","title":"Round Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring on a Carved Twig Band","description":"\u003ch2\u003eRound Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring on a Carved Twig Band\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA round brilliant lab grown diamond in four claws on a band carved as a bare twig, with small buds and a single round accent diamond set where a shoot leaves the branch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA twig band is harder to make convincing than a leaf band, because a twig has no symmetry to fall back on. The bark texture has to change along the length, the diameter has to swell and thin the way a real branch does, and the small side shoots have to leave the main stem at plausible angles rather than at regular intervals. All of that is worked by hand after casting, which is why no two rings in this design are quite identical. Above it sits the most regular object in jewellery, a round brilliant cut to measured ideal proportions, held in four plain claws that make no attempt to look organic. The contrast is the design. The single accent diamond set into one shoot reads as a bud rather than as a shoulder stone, which is why it is placed off centre rather than mirrored on both sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCenter stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone type: lab grown diamond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: round brilliant cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarat weight: 2, 3, 4 or 5 carat, selected at checkout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor grade: E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarity grade: VVS2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut and polish: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSymmetry: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting: four claws on an open basket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAccent stone details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound brilliant accent diamonds set into the carved shoots beside the head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor grade: E to F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarity grade: VS or better\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBand details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shank is carved as a bare twig with hand worked bark texture, swelling and thinning along its length.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the ring come with a certificate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.

We can recut the texture during a service if you prefer it sharp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a textured band comfortable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The carving is on the outside only and the inner surface is polished smooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is the accent stone on one side\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause a real shoot does not leave a branch symmetrically. Placing it off centre is what keeps the twig from looking manufactured.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this ring be resized\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWithin about a size without disturbing the carving.
