Noelle | 2.06ct Marquise Cut Lab Grown Diamond Engagement Ring | Diamond Cluster Shoulders | 18ct White Gold

A 2.06ct marquise lab grown diamond engagement ring with a cluster of round diamonds on each shoulder, all in 18ct white gold. A marquise is long and pointed at both ends, so it runs along the finger and looks larger than its carat weight suggests. Six claws hold it, one at each point and two along each side, because the tips are the most delicate part of the shape. On each shoulder, three small round brilliants sit in a fan instead of a straight row, which gives the ring a slightly vintage feel. Below them the band is plain and polished, so the decorative detail stays up near the diamond and the ring doesn't feel overworked. In all white gold, nothing warms the stones, and the E colour centre looks crisp and white.

A note on lab grown diamonds
A lab grown diamond is a real diamond. It's chemically, optically and physically identical to a natural one. The only difference is how it formed: a natural diamond grew in the earth over billions of years, and a lab grown diamond takes a matter of weeks. Once they're cut and polished, only a gemmologist with specialised equipment can tell them apart.
