Oval Cut Lab Grown Diamond Ring in a Full Bezel on a Tapered Band
An oval cut lab grown diamond held in a continuous rim of metal that wraps the whole girdle, on a slim band that broadens slightly where it meets the setting and carries no stones anywhere.
A bezel is the oldest way to hold a stone and still the most secure, because there are no claws to snag, bend or wear thin. The rim is raised from the same piece of metal as the collar, rolled over the girdle of the oval all the way round and then burnished down until it grips. Getting a bezel right on an oval is considerably harder than on a round, because the rim has to keep an even width as it travels around a curve that changes radius continuously, tight at the two ends and shallow along the sides. A rim that stays a constant thickness looks heavy at the ends. Ours is cut slightly finer at the points of the oval and fractionally wider along the flanks, which is what makes the frame read as an even line rather than as a shape that bulges. The practical case for a bezel is strong. Nothing catches on knitwear, the girdle of the stone is protected on every side, and the ring sits low enough to wear under a glove. The aesthetic case is that a solid rim gives the diamond a hard outline, which makes an oval look larger and more graphic than the same stone in claws.
