Noelle | 2.06ct Marquise Cut Lab Grown Diamond Engagement Ring | Diamond Cluster Shoulders | 18ct White Gold
A 2.06ct marquise cut lab grown diamond, E colour, VS1 clarity, held in a six-claw head and flanked by clusters of round brilliant diamonds on a plain 18ct white gold band.
Why this ring works
The marquise is one of the boldest shapes you can choose. It's a long, pointed oval with facets that run the full length of the stone, and that elongation makes the diamond look larger than its carat weight suggests.
The diamond clusters on each side are what give this ring its vintage character. Instead of a straight row of pavé, three small round brilliants are arranged in a fan on each shoulder. The six-claw head holds the stone securely, with claws at both points and along the sides
The plain band keeps the focus where it belongs. With the clusters doing the decorative work up top, a clean polished shoulder running down each side stops the ring from feeling overworked.
All-white-gold keeps the look crisp and modern, and lets the diamond read as bright and icy with no warm tones from the metal interrupting the colour.

A note on lab grown diamonds
A lab grown diamond is a real diamond. It's identical to a natural diamond chemically, optically, and physically. The only difference is how it formed: a natural diamond grew in the earth over billions of years, while a lab grown diamond was created in a matter of weeks under the same conditions of heat and pressure. Once they're cut and polished, only a gemmologist with specialised equipment can tell them apart.
What is a Type IIA diamond?
Type IIA is the rarest classification of diamond. Only about 1 to 2 percent of natural diamonds qualify, because the structure contains almost no nitrogen, which is what gives most diamonds a faint colour tint. Type IIA stones are the purest and most chemically perfect diamonds on earth. In a natural diamond this purity is extraordinarily rare and priced accordingly. CVD lab grown technology can produce Type IIA reliably.
