Frequently Asked Questions
What is the symbolism behind a seven stone wedding ring? +
A seven stone wedding ring traditionally symbolizes a full week of devotion—one stone for every day you choose your partner. It represents an 'eternal week' of love, making it a popular choice for both wedding bands and significant 7th-anniversary gifts.
How do seven stone lab grown diamonds compare to mined diamonds in brilliance? +
Lab grown diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds. In a seven stone setting, opting for lab grown allows you to achieve a 'wall of light' effect with higher color and clarity grades (such as F+ color and VS1+ clarity) for a significantly lower investment than mined stones of the same quality.
Does a seven stone ring offer more finger coverage than a five stone ring? +
Yes. While a five stone ring covers the top of the finger, a seven stone ring provides 'extended' coverage, reaching further down the sides of the finger. This creates a seamless look of continuous diamonds, ensuring sparkle is visible even when the hand is viewed from an angle.
Which diamond cuts look best in a seven stone lab grown setting? +
Round Brilliant cuts remain the most popular for maximum fire. However, Ovals and Radiant cuts are trending for seven stone bands as they provide a modern, elongated look that feels substantial. For a vintage aesthetic, step-cuts like Baguettes or Emerald cuts offer a sophisticated, 'hall of mirrors' flash.
Is a seven stone diamond band comfortable to wear with an engagement ring? +
Absolutely. To ensure comfort, look for 'low-profile' or 'scalloped' settings. These designs allow the seven stones to sit flush against the finger and nestle closely with your engagement ring, preventing the 'bulky' feel sometimes associated with multi-stone bands.
What setting style is best for a seven stone lab grown diamond ring? +
A 'shared prong' setting is ideal for seven stone rings because it minimizes visible metal between the stones. This allows the lab grown diamonds to sit closely together, maximizing light entry from all angles and creating an uninterrupted line of brilliant sparkle across the hand.
