Lab-Grown Oval Cut Diamond Pendant Four-Claw Set 1.50ct to 5.05ct D & F VS - 9ct & 18ct Gold
The oval cut has a way of making everything look a little more elegant — and this pendant is no exception.
This bespoke lab-grown oval cut diamond pendant centres on one of the most flattering shapes in fine jewellery. The elongated silhouette of an oval diamond lengthens the neckline, creates an impression of greater size than the carat weight alone would suggest, and catches the light at an extraordinary range of angles. It is a cut that manages to feel simultaneously classic and completely current — and in a simple four-claw setting, suspended on a fine chain, it is nothing short of beautiful.
The four-claw setting is the right choice for an oval of this quality. Each claw sits precisely at the stone's girdle, lifting the diamond away from the metal so that light can enter freely from beneath as well as above. The result is maximum brilliance — the kind of depth and fire that makes people look twice. The setting itself disappears; the diamond is entirely the point.
Yes, these are real diamonds. Lab-grown diamonds are physically, chemically and optically identical to mined diamonds, produced using the same carbon structure, graded to the same international standards and carrying the same fire and brilliance as any stone from the ground. Choosing a lab-grown diamond simply means choosing one grown in a controlled environment — and it means you can access genuinely exceptional specifications, like a 4ct or 5ct oval, at a price that makes it possible.
This pendant is made entirely to order. Choose your diamond — from the exquisite 1.50ct D VS1 through to the breathtaking 5.05ct F VS — and your preferred metal: 9ct yellow gold, 9ct white gold, 18ct yellow gold or 18ct white gold. Each combination is handcrafted individually in our Harrogate studio. Please allow 3–6 weeks for completion.

FAQ
Are lab-grown diamonds real diamonds? Yes, completely. Lab-grown diamonds share the same physical, chemical and optical properties as mined diamonds — same carbon crystal structure, same hardness, same grading standards. They are assessed by the same gemological laboratories using the same colour, clarity, cut and carat weight criteria. At Fogal & Barnes, we offer lab-grown diamonds as a genuinely exceptional choice for fine jewellery.
What makes the oval cut special? The oval cut is one of the most flattering shapes in fine jewellery. Its elongated form creates an impression of greater size relative to carat weight, lengthens the neckline when worn as a pendant, and produces a wide, open table that scatters light beautifully. It has the brilliance of a round cut with a silhouette that feels more individual and contemporary — and it suits almost every style of dressing.
What do D VS1 and F VS mean? Colour and clarity are two of the four international grading criteria for diamonds. D is the highest colour grade — completely colourless and exceptionally pure. F is near-colourless and sits just two grades below D, remaining bright white to the eye. VS1 and VS (Very Slightly Included) both refer to clarity grades where any inclusions present are minute and invisible without magnification. All options on this pendant represent outstanding quality.
Can I choose my carat weight and metal? Yes — every pendant is made to your specification. You select the carat weight (1.50ct, 2.02ct, 4.02ct or 5.05ct) and your preferred metal (9ct yellow gold, 9ct white gold, 18ct yellow gold or 18ct white gold). Our team at the Harrogate studio is happy to talk you through each option in person or over email.
How long does it take to make? Because each pendant is individually handcrafted to order, please allow 3–6 weeks from confirmation. We will keep you updated throughout the process and ensure the finished piece arrives beautifully presented.
Is an oval diamond pendant suitable as a bridal or milestone gift? Absolutely. An oval cut diamond pendant is one of the most versatile and enduring pieces in fine jewellery — it works as beautifully on a wedding day as it does as an anniversary, birthday or push gift. The larger carat options in particular make for a genuinely memorable and lasting piece.
Does the pendant come gift-wrapped? Yes. Every piece from Fogal & Barnes is presented in our signature packaging, making it equally perfect as a gift or a personal treat.
