Violet | 3.03ct Marquise Cut Lab Grown Diamond Engagement Ring | Marquise & Round Diamond Shoulders | 18ct Yellow & White Gold
A 3.03ct marquise cut lab grown diamond, E colour, VVS2 clarity, held in white gold claws on a two-tone 18ct gold band with alternating marquise and round diamond shoulders.
Why this ring works
The marquise is a long, pointed shape that sits lengthways down the finger, so at over 14mm this one looks even bigger than its three carats. It's a good choice if you want something with a bit of length to it.
The stone grades well. E colour is near the top of the scale, so it reads white, and VVS2 means it's clean to the eye.
The shoulders follow the same idea as the centre. Marquise and round diamonds alternate down each side, spaced with small gold beads so they read as separate stones. The claws are white gold to keep the centre bright, and the band is yellow gold for a bit of warmth.

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.
