What makes this an enhancer set, not a wedding band set
Most engagement ring sets pair an engagement ring with a contoured wedding band that nests beneath it. This set is different — the second piece is a ring enhancer (also called a ring guard or ring jacket) that wraps around the solitaire from above, framing it with leaves, vines, and sapphires. The result is two distinct looks from one purchase:
-
Worn together: A dramatic leaf-and-vine bridal set with sapphires and diamonds growing around the oval lab-grown diamond center stone
-
Solitaire alone: A clean, classic oval lab grown diamond engagement ring on a delicate leaf-detail band — perfect for everyday wear or work environments
The center stone: IGI-certified oval lab-grown diamond
The center stone is a 6×8mm oval-cut lab-grown diamond at approximately 1.05-1.35 carats — graded D color (the highest possible color grade, completely colorless) and VVS clarity (very, very slightly included; eye clean and nearly flawless even under magnification). Each stone is IGI certified with a unique serial number, providing independent verification of the diamond's grade and origin.
Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds — chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds. The only difference is origin: lab-grown diamonds are created in controlled laboratory conditions over weeks rather than formed underground over millions of years. This means lab diamonds at this size and quality (D/VVS, IGI certified) cost a fraction of equivalent mined diamonds while being identical in every meaningful sense — same hardness (10 on the Mohs scale), same brilliance, same fire, same durability for daily wear over decades.
Why oval-cut diamond
The oval cut is one of the most popular and flattering shapes for engagement rings. Its elongated rounded silhouette creates the optical illusion of a longer, more slender finger, and it appears larger than other cuts of equivalent carat weight. Oval-cut diamonds have surged in popularity over the past decade because they combine the brilliance of round cuts with a more distinctive silhouette — favored by celebrities including Hailey Bieber, Blake Lively, and Kourtney Kardashian for engagement rings.
The leaf enhancer with lab-grown sapphires and diamonds
The V-shape ring enhancer is the visual hero of the set. Marquise-cut lab-grown blue sapphires are nestled into sculpted gold leaves, with round lab-grown diamond accents along the stems and points. The enhancer sits forward of the solitaire when stacked, framing the oval center stone with leaves, vines, and gemstone clusters — the effect is like flowers and foliage growing around the diamond. Lab-grown sapphires have the same chemical, physical, and optical properties as natural mined sapphires — same vivid blue color, same hardness, same brilliance — at a fraction of the cost and with traceable ethical origins.

Custom options & sizing
This ring is made to order. Please allow 3-5 weeks for production. The set is also available in 14K white gold or 14K rose gold on request, or upgraded to 18K solid gold for an additional cost — leave a note at checkout or contact us before ordering. If you'd like a different gemstone option (different sapphire color, larger center diamond, etc.), contact us for a custom quote.
Ring sizes can vary slightly between jewelers — between ring sizers and mandrels, your size can often vary up to a half size. Please reference our sizing guide before ordering, and if you're between sizes, we recommend going up rather than down. Both rings should be ordered in the same size — the enhancer is designed to nest snugly around the solitaire.
Optional appraisal
You can add a written appraisal document from the drop-down menu when ordering — useful for insurance purposes or as part of a proposal package. Please note: the appraisal cost is non-refundable once the appraisal work has been performed.
Lab grown diamond engagement ring FAQs
Are lab-grown diamonds real diamonds?
Yes. Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds — chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds. They have the same hardness (10 on the Mohs scale), same brilliance, same fire, and same durability. The only difference is origin: lab-grown diamonds are created in controlled laboratory conditions over weeks rather than formed underground over millions of years. This is officially recognized by both the FTC and the GIA.
What does IGI certification mean?
IGI (International Gemological Institute) is one of the world's leading gemological grading laboratories. An IGI certificate independently verifies the diamond's specifications — color grade, clarity grade, cut, carat weight, dimensions, and other characteristics. Each certified diamond also has a unique serial number engraved on the girdle for permanent identification. Your ring includes the IGI certificate so you can verify authenticity and grade independently.
What does D color, VVS clarity mean?
D is the highest possible color grade for diamonds — completely colorless and the most rare and valuable color grade. VVS (very, very slightly included) is one of the highest clarity grades — the diamond contains only minute inclusions that are extremely difficult to see even under 10x magnification. Combined, D/VVS represents top-tier diamond quality. At lab-grown pricing, this quality grade is accessible at a fraction of what an equivalent mined diamond would cost.
What is a ring enhancer?
A ring enhancer (also called a ring guard or ring jacket) is a decorative band designed to slide over and frame an engagement ring solitaire. It transforms a simple solitaire into a more elaborate look without replacing the original ring. In this set, the leaf-and-sapphire V-shape enhancer wraps around the oval lab diamond solitaire, creating a dramatic bridal silhouette when stacked.
Are the blue sapphires real?
Yes. The blue accent stones are lab-grown sapphires — they have the same chemical, physical, and optical properties as natural mined sapphires (same color, hardness, brilliance) but are grown in controlled lab conditions, making them more sustainable, ethically traceable, and accessible. They're real sapphires in every meaningful sense.
Can I wear the rings separately?
Yes — that's one of the main reasons to choose an enhancer set over a traditional wedding band set. The oval lab diamond solitaire on its delicate leaf-detail band can be worn alone as a clean, classic engagement ring for everyday wear or work environments. The full leaf-stacked look with the enhancer is for events, dates, or any time you want the dramatic version.
Why choose lab-grown diamond over mined diamond?
Three main reasons. First, cost: lab-grown diamonds at this size and quality (D/VVS, IGI certified) cost a fraction of equivalent mined diamonds. Second, sustainability: lab diamonds avoid the environmental impact and human costs associated with diamond mining. Third, traceability: every lab diamond's origin is fully documented, eliminating concerns about conflict diamonds. The diamond itself is identical in every meaningful way.
Why oval cut over round?
Oval-cut diamonds are an elongated rounded shape that combines the brilliance of round cuts with a more distinctive silhouette. Practical advantages: oval cuts appear about 10% larger than round cuts of the same carat weight, and the elongated shape creates the optical illusion of a longer, more slender finger. Oval engagement rings have surged in popularity over the past decade — favored by celebrities like Hailey Bieber, Blake Lively, and Kourtney Kardashian.
Can I get this in white gold or rose gold instead?
Yes. The standard option is 14K solid yellow gold, but we also offer 14K white gold and 14K rose gold on request. The metal can also be upgraded to 18K solid gold for an additional cost. Just contact us before ordering or leave a note at checkout.
Should I order both rings the same size?
Yes. The enhancer is designed to nest snugly around the solitaire, so both rings need to be the same size. If you're between sizes, order both at the same size — and we suggest going up rather than down if you're unsure. Get professionally sized at a local jeweler before ordering for extra confidence.
How long does it take to make?
This ring is made to order. Please allow 3-5 weeks for production. Requested modifications (different metals, sizing outside the standard range, custom gemstone substitutions) may extend the timeline and adjust pricing — we'll confirm everything with you before production begins.
Can these rings be resized after purchase?
The plain oval solitaire can be resized by a local jeweler — solid gold is forgiving for resizing. The leaf enhancer is much harder to resize because of the intricate stone-set leaf work, so order the correct size from the start. We offer sizes 3-10 in standard, half, and quarter sizes. Larger or smaller sizes available upon request.
Are there more accessible versions of this set?
Yes. We also offer this same oval engagement ring enhancer design in two more accessible material tiers: (1) 14K solid yellow gold with lab-grown moissanite center stone (the most popular alternative to lab-grown diamond), and (2) 14K yellow gold vermeil over solid sterling silver with simulated diamond center stone (the most accessible price tier). Same sculpted leaf-and-vine setting, same shape, same fairycore aesthetic — just different stone and metal materials. Browse our engagement ring collection for the alternatives.
