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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eDiamond-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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eAll-white gold keeps the whole thing crisp, cool and contemporary, letting the diamonds read bright and icy with no warmth from the metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe diamonds\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCentre carat:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.06ct \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCut: \u003c\/strong\u003eAsscher (step cut) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType: \u003c\/strong\u003eLab grown diamond, CVD Type IIA \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e IGI \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShoulder diamonds: \u003c\/strong\u003e12 round brilliant (lab grown), 0.14ct total, VS clarity, E colour\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal diamond weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.20ct\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA note on lab grown diamonds\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a Type IIA diamond?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eType 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..\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe setting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetal: \u003c\/strong\u003e18ct white gold (stamped 750) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003eTwist setting with diamond-set shoulders \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBand: \u003c\/strong\u003eHalf-rounded, 1.90mm wide\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable to view or customise\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eYou can come in and try this exact ring on, or use it as a starting point and we'll customise it for you.
