Understanding This Piece
About the Natural Diamond
Natural diamonds form deep within the earth over 1–3 billion years under extreme heat and pressure — making each stone genuinely irreplaceable. Diamonds rank 10 on the Mohs hardness scale (the hardest natural material on earth), so they resist scratches better than any other gemstone and are uniquely suited for daily-wear jewelry. Every natural diamond we sell over 0.50ct ships with a GIA or comparable independent grading report documenting its carat weight, color, clarity, and cut precision. Natural diamonds hold their value over decades and carry strong heirloom resale demand.
About 18K Rose Gold
18K rose gold combines 75% pure gold with a refined copper alloy, producing the softest and most luxurious pink tone available in karat gold. The high gold content gives 18K rose a more muted, sophisticated pink than 14K — closer to dusty peach than vivid copper. It carries the highest heirloom value of any rose gold and is the preferred choice for premium custom engagement rings and statement pieces where color refinement matters most.
About Side-Stone Settings
Side-stone settings add accent diamonds along the shoulders of the ring next to the center stone — typically channel-set, pavé, or shared-prong rounds. The accent stones bring additional sparkle and dimension without dominating the center diamond. Side-stone construction is one of the most popular non-solitaire engagement-ring categories and works well across nearly every center-stone shape.
