A round lab-grown diamond between two strands curving into an S, one plain and one set with stones, in 14K white gold.
Jewelry details
A 14K white gold engagement ring with a round lab-grown diamond on four prongs in the center, the band splitting into two strands that curve around the setting like the stroke of an S. One strand is left smooth and polished, the other set with a row of small stones, so the face of the ring is both soft and sparkling.
The ring has one center stone and fourteen round lab-grown accent diamonds, seven on each side in a row along the strand.
The center stone between two curving strands
The center stone is held by four round prongs, set at a moderate height in the middle. On each side, the band splits into two strands: a plain one looping around the setting in an S curve, and a straighter one set with stones. The two strands aren't symmetrical, which creates a sense of movement and looks quite different from the familiar straight band.
The row of stones uses shared beads, with one gold bead holding two neighboring stones, so the stones sit close together for a continuous line of light with very little gold showing. The plain strand is mirror-polished to contrast with the stones beside it.
Three things to check when you hold it
Look straight down: the two strands curve softly around the center stone, the curves even, with no sharp kinks.
Look at the row of stones: they're aligned, their faces level, none raised or sunken.
Look from the side: the center stone sits straight, the four prongs snug against its edge.
Honest points to consider first
A split band has a gap in the middle that catches fabric or hair more easily than a solid band; you get used to it after a while.
Each strand is slimmer than a single solid band, so avoid hard knocks and take the ring off for heavy work.
The center stone is a modest size suited to an elegant look; if you want a truly eye-catching center stone, consider a larger size.
14K white gold and lab-grown diamonds
The ring is made in 14K white gold, harder than 18K, so it holds the prongs and the row of stones more securely for daily wear; it's rhodium plated for a bright white finish, and when you notice a slight yellow tint, bring it in for re-plating. The center and accent stones are lab-grown diamonds, with the same hardness and brilliance as mined diamonds — indistinguishable to the naked eye, different only in origin and a much friendlier price. Center stone size, color and clarity are listed in the jewelry details table.
Choosing your size and keeping it bright
For sizing, measuring with an old ring often isn't accurate, since it may be for a different finger or a different band width; it's best to measure directly in the afternoon when your fingers have fully expanded. The lower band is plain, so it can still be resized slightly later. Each week, soak the ring in warm water with a little dish soap, gently brush the gap between the strands and under the center stone, then rinse well; every few months, bring it in to have the prongs checked. This ring suits someone who loves soft, modern lines and wants an engagement ring with a character of its own.
