Jane | 1.51ct Round Brilliant Lab Grown Diamond Solitaire | 18ct White Gold
A 1.51ct round brilliant cut lab grown diamond, E colour, VVS2 clarity, held in a classic six-claw white gold head on a clean 18ct white gold band.
This is the ring most people picture when they imagine an engagement ring. A design that's been the most-requested ring shape for the last hundred years and shows no sign of going anywhere.
Why this ring works
The round brilliant cut is the most sparkly diamond shape. Its facets are precisely angled to bounce light back at the eye, which is why round brilliants out-sparkle every other shape, every time. If your partner has shown you a Pinterest board full of "classic" rings, this is almost certainly what they're saving.
The six-claw setting is a deliberate choice. It holds the diamond more securely than a four-claw, lifts the stone slightly higher off the finger, and frames it in a way that makes the round shape feel more intentional. It's the setting style we recommend for round diamonds 1ct and above.
The plain band is what makes this ring feel timeless rather than trendy. No accent stones, no engraving, no distractions, just a clean line of polished 18ct white gold that draws every eye to the centre diamond. It's also the most practical choice long-term: easier to clean, easier to resize, and it pairs beautifully with any wedding band style down the track.
All-white-gold design keeps the look clean and modern. The diamond reads as bright and icy, with no warm tones from yellow gold prongs interrupting the colour.
The diamond
- Carat: 1.51ct
- Cut: Round brilliant
- Colour: E (the second-highest colourless grade, visually identical to D)
- Clarity: VVS2 (very, very slightly included, completely eye-clean and one of the highest clarity grades available)
- Type: Lab grown diamond
- Certification: IGI Diamond Report
E/VVS2 is what we'd call a "no compromises" diamond grade. You're getting near-perfect colour and near-perfect clarity. Because it's lab grown, this level of quality is genuinely affordable, the same stone in a natural diamond would cost three to four times as much.
The setting
- Metal: 18ct white gold band and head
- Style: Six-claw solitaire
- Band: Plain polished 18ct white gold
