Follow any one of the pave lines across this ring and you'll notice it crosses another before it ends. Right where they meet, an oval cut lab grown diamond sits sideways, measuring 6 x 4.5 mm and weighing 0.500 ct, held at the corners by prongs so the lines can run right up to it. It's graded E_F for color and VVS to VS for clarity, which keeps it icy and clear against all the small stone shine around it. The Criss Cross Oval Diamond Ring gets its whole personality from that contrast: one calm, larger stone and a lot of busy lines.

The lattice is the real construction story. Several rails of small round lab grown diamonds curve and cross over one another, forming open diamond shaped windows, so you can see through the band in places and light passes straight through. The 74 rounds add up to 0.692 ct, which brings the ring to 1.192 ct in total. Around the back the band is a smooth, wide strip of solid gold, so the openwork stays on top and the ring holds its shape.

Every diamond here is a lab grown diamond, and that's what puts this much diamond weight at a price that mined stones of the same size and quality would struggle to match. IGI certifies the diamonds and the ring is hallmarked. You can choose solid 10K, 14K or 18K gold in yellow, white or rose. It makes a bold proposal ring, an anniversary piece or a statement ring to wear on its own.
