Julia | 0.70ct Round Brilliant Cut Natural Diamond Solitaire Engagement Ring | Diamond Band | 18ct Yellow & White Gold
A 0.70ct round brilliant cut natural diamond, G colour, SI2 clarity, held in a white gold six-claw head on an 18ct yellow gold diamond-set band.
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.
The six-claw setting is important, as 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.
The diamond-set band carries the sparkle down the finger rather than stopping it abruptly at the centre stone. Small round brilliants run along the top of the band in fine claw settings, partway around so the ring can still be comfortably resized later if needed.
The two-tone metal mix is doing specific work. White gold claws keep the centre diamond reading icy and bright, where yellow gold prongs would have cast warmth into a G colour stone. The 18ct yellow gold band warms the overall ring and stops it feeling clinical.

A note on natural diamonds
Natural diamonds are formed deep in the earth's mantle over billions of years, under extreme heat and pressure. Each one is geologically unique, with its own internal characteristics that make it traceable and verifiable through certification. For buyers who want the geological story and rarity of an earth-mined stone, natural diamonds remain the original benchmark. This diamond is certified by GIA (the Gemmological Institute of America), the most respected diamond grading laboratory in the world.
