Round Cut Lab Grown Diamond Six Button Claw Solitaire Ring, E Color VVS2

Round Cut Lab Grown Diamond Six Button Claw Solitaire Ring

A round brilliant lab grown diamond held in six flat button claws on a tapered polished band. A button claw is finished as a small flat disc where it folds over the crown rather than being filed to a rounded or pointed tip, so what you see around the stone is six clean gold circles set at even intervals. It is a deliberately old fashioned detail, common on rings made in the middle of the last century and rarely used now, and it gives the head a graphic quality that tapered claws do not have. Nothing else is added. The band tapers gently as it rises toward the head and is left entirely plain, so the six discs are the only decoration on the ring. E colour, VVS2 clarity, free IGI certificate. Made to order in Surat in ten metals and four carat weights.

Button claws are read as shapes rather than as slivers of metal, so the contrast between claw and diamond is the whole visual effect. Yellow and rose gold make the six discs stand out as a distinct pattern, white gold blends them into the stone. For daily wear 14K is harder than 18K and keeps a flat claw face from softening at the edges.

Frequently asked questions

What is a button claw?
A claw finished as a small flat disc over the crown of the stone rather than filed to a taper. It reads as a distinct circle of metal, which is where the name comes from, and it was a common finish on mid twentieth century solitaires.

Do flat claws catch on clothing?
Less than tapered ones, because there is no raised point. The flat face sits close against the stone and presents nothing sharp.

Why six claws instead of four?
Six spreads the holding pressure evenly around a circular girdle and keeps the outline of the round looking properly circular. It also suits the button finish, since six evenly spaced discs form a clear pattern where four would look sparse.

Is this easy to pair with a wedding band?
Yes, very. The shank is plain and straight where a band meets it, with no pave to line up.

Is a lab grown diamond a real diamond?
Yes. Same carbon structure, hardness and brilliance as a mined diamond. Only the origin differs.

Do I get a certificate?
Yes. A free IGI certificate for the centre stone comes with every order, listing colour, clarity, cut grade and carat weight.

How long does it take to make?
Production usually takes ten to fourteen working days, plus shipping time to your address.

Why buy a lab grown diamond

A lab grown diamond gives the same hardness, brilliance and fire as a mined stone at a fraction of the price, which is what makes a certified 4 or 5 carat round brilliant achievable. It is created without mining, so there is no excavation and no doubt about origin. Every centre stone we set is independently certified.
