Rose | 1.02ct Round Brilliant Cut Lab Grown Diamond Solitaire Engagement Ring | 18ct Yellow Gold
A 1.02ct round brilliant cut lab grown diamond, D colour, VVS1 clarity, held in a classic four-claw yellow gold setting on a clean 18ct yellow gold 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 four-claw setting is a clean, traditional choice. It lifts the diamond up off the finger so light can pass through it from every angle and frames the round shape without crowding it. Four claws give you a slightly more open view of the stone than a six-claw equivalent, which makes the diamond feel more exposed and prominent.
The plain band is what makes this ring feel timeless. No accent stones, no distractions, just a clean line of polished 18ct yellow gold that draws every eye to the centre diamond.
All-yellow-gold design finishes the design off by giving the ring warmth and character.

A note on lab grown diamonds
Lab grown diamonds are made of the same material as mined diamonds: pure carbon, crystallised under intense heat and pressure. The only difference is where that process happens. Mined diamonds form over billions of years deep in the earth. Lab grown diamonds form in a controlled chamber over a matter of weeks, using the same chemistry. Chemically, optically and physically, the two are identical. Same hardness, same fire, same sparkle, same certification standards. No naked eye can tell them apart. Only a gemmologist with specialised lab equipment can identify the difference.
