Round Cut Lab Grown Diamond Six Claw Solitaire Ring on Wide Cigar Band, E Color VVS2

Round Cut Lab Grown Diamond Six Claw Solitaire Ring on Wide Cigar Band

A round brilliant lab grown diamond held in six claws on a wide domed cigar band. The band is the departure here. A cigar band is broad and thick with a rounded outer face, closer in weight to a signet ring than to the thin wire shank most solitaires sit on, and it gives the ring a solidity that reads immediately on the hand. Because the metal is so substantial, the head does not need to be raised far to clear the finger, so the diamond sits low and the whole ring has a grounded, architectural profile rather than a delicate one. Six claws hold the stone and nothing else is added. E colour, VVS2 clarity, free IGI certificate. Made to order in Surat in ten metals and four carat weights.

A cigar band carries far more metal than a standard shank, so the colour is the loudest thing about the ring after the stone. Yellow and rose gold make it read as a bold gold statement, white gold keeps the weight but quiets it. For daily wear 14K is harder than 18K and holds a polished domed surface free of scratches for longer.

Ring size

Every ring is made to your finger size, so choose your size at checkout. A wide band fits more snugly than a thin one, so if you are between sizes we recommend going up half a size. Ask us for a free size guide before ordering if you are unsure.

Custom orders

We can narrow or widen the band, flatten the dome, add pave along the shoulders, brush the surface to a matte finish, or set a hidden halo beneath the stone. For any other customization request please contact us at https://mapplegems.com/pages/contact and we will quote it before you order.

Frequently asked questions

What is a cigar band?
A wide, thick band with a rounded outer face, named for its resemblance to a cigar band. It carries considerably more metal than a standard shank and gives a solitaire a heavier, more architectural presence.

Does a wide band fit differently?
Yes. A wide band contacts more of the finger, so it feels tighter than a thin band of the same nominal size. If you are between sizes, choose the larger one.

Can I wear a wedding band with it?
The shank is already wide, so most people wear this ring on its own or with a band on the other hand. If you want a pairing, a very slim plain band alongside works best, and we can make one to match.

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 balances visually against a heavy band, where four claws would look undersized.

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 on a heavy gold band achievable. It is created without mining, so there is no excavation and no doubt about origin. Every centre stone we set is independently certified.
