0.78ct Emerald Cut Lab Grown Diamond Engagement Ring | Pear & Round Cluster Shoulders | 9ct Yellow & White Gold
A 0.78ct emerald cut lab grown diamond, EF colour, VS clarity, held in a four-claw white gold head on a 9ct yellow gold band, with cluster shoulders of pear and round brilliant accent diamonds totalling 0.15ct.
Why this ring works
The emerald cut uses long, parallel facets running down the length of the stone, which lets you see into the diamond rather than just off it. It's sometimes called the "hall of mirrors" effect. The cut shows clarity more openly than brilliant cuts do, so it requires good grading. EF/VS is exactly that.
The cluster shoulders are the design detail that gives this ring its vintage feel. Two marquise cuts and four round brilliants are arranged on either side of the centre stone in a tight grouped formation, creating the look of small diamond bouquets flanking the emerald.
The diamonds
Centre: 0.78ct emerald cut lab grown diamond, EF colour, VS clarity
Accent stones: 2 marquise and 4 round brilliant lab grown diamonds, totalling 0.15ct
Total diamond weight: 0.93ct
EF/VS is a strong commercial grade. EF sits in the near-colourless range (E and F are both colourless grades), and VS clarity means the inclusions are small enough to be invisible to the naked eye and only visible under 10x magnification.
A note on lab grown diamonds
Lab grown diamonds are made of the same material as mined diamonds: pure carbon, crystallised under intense heat and pressure. The only difference is where that process happens. Mined diamonds form over billions of years deep in the earth. Lab grown diamonds form in a controlled chamber over a matter of weeks, using the same chemistry. Chemically, optically and physically, the two are identical. Same hardness, same fire, same sparkle, same certification standards. No naked eye can tell them apart. Only a gemmologist with specialised lab equipment can identify the difference.
The setting
Metal: 9ct yellow gold band with white gold heads
