Zara | 2.06ct Asscher Cut Lab Grown Diamond Engagement Ring | Diamond Set Shoulders | 18ct White Gold
A 2.06ct Asscher cut lab grown diamond, held on a gentle twist between diamond-set shoulders in 18ct white gold.
Why this ring works
The Asscher cut is for people who love clean lines. It's a step cut — a near-square shape with cropped corners and long, straight facets that draw the eye into the centre of the stone, creating that famous "hall of mirrors" depth rather than sparkly fire.
The setting gives this ring its individuality. Rather than sitting square-on, the Asscher is held on a soft twist, so the band curves gracefully past the stone on each side — a modern, slightly asymmetric touch that sets it apart from a standard solitaire.
Diamond-set shoulders carry the sparkle down each side of the band, a fine line of round brilliants that frames the centre and adds brilliance without competing with it.
All-white gold keeps the whole thing crisp, cool and contemporary, letting the diamonds read bright and icy with no warmth from the metal.

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 diamonds..
