Your Round Diamond Engagement Ring Questions, Answered

Are these lab grown or natural diamonds?

These are lab grown diamonds, both the round centre and the accents, and we want to be completely clear about that. A lab grown diamond is a real diamond, with the exact same chemical, physical, and optical properties as one mined from the earth, so it sparkles identically and lasts just as long. The only difference is the origin, since it is grown in a controlled setting rather than dug from the ground. Why choose lab grown? Value, mostly. You get a much larger, higher grade ring for your budget, like this 2.00ct round, for far less than a mined equivalent.

What do the specs 2.00ct, E colour and VVS2 clarity mean?

Good question, since these grades decide a lot. The 2.00ct is the weight of the round centre diamond, a large, impressive size with real presence, and the accents add another 0.43ct for around 2.43ct in total. E colour sits near the very top of the colour scale, so the centre looks bright and white with no visible tint. VVS2 stands for very very slightly included, near the top of the clarity scale, meaning any natural features are invisible to the naked eye. So this is a large, exceptionally white and clean diamond, and lab grown makes those top grades wonderfully affordable.

Why choose a round brilliant cut?

Because it sparkles more than any other shape. The round brilliant is cut with 57 or 58 precisely angled facets, all designed to bounce light back up through the top of the stone, so it has more fire and brilliance than any other diamond cut. That is why it is the most loved and most classic shape for an engagement ring. It also suits every hand and never dates, so it is a timeless choice you will love for a lifetime. Paired here with a hidden halo and a pave band, that classic round centre looks even brighter and more brilliant.

What is a hidden halo?

It is a lovely secret detail. A hidden halo is a ring of tiny diamonds set underneath the centre stone, around the base where it meets the band, rather than around the top where everyone sees it. So from above, the ring looks like a clean, classic solitaire, but catch it from the side and you spot that extra sparkle peeking out. On this ring, the hidden halo works with the pave band to add fire from every angle. It is a romantic touch, a little bit of magic the wearer knows about, giving the elegance of a solitaire with a surprise of extra sparkle.

What is a pave band?

Pave, said pah vay, means the band is set with lots of tiny diamonds placed closely together, held by small beads of metal, so the surface looks paved with sparkle. On this ring, the pave diamonds run along the shoulders of the band and lead the eye up to the round centre. Why do it? A pave band makes the whole ring feel richer and more luxurious, and it adds sparkle from every angle without taking attention off the main stone. So you get a beautiful frame of light around your centre diamond, elegant, glamorous, and full of shine.
