The centre stone isn't floating alone. It's framed twice—first by a square of yellow gold, then by a larger one of white gold, with both frames completely paved in diamonds. This layering gives the ring a lot of dimension and structure on the hand.
This ring is built around a cushion-cut fancy yellow diamond. That centre stone is surrounded by a square halo of small white diamonds set in yellow gold, which is then framed by a second, larger halo set in white gold. The band splits as it meets the setting and is covered in three rows of French pavé diamonds. The inside of the band is smooth, polished yellow gold, visible from the sides.
This ring is cast in solid 14K or 18K gold and weighs over 11 grams, so it has a noticeable heft. We use both yellow and white gold to either blend with or contrast the different diamonds. The centre stone is held by four prongs, while the 248 surrounding diamonds are set using a French pavé style. This involves cutting tiny v-shapes into the metal itself, which means less metal is visible and the diamonds can catch more light.

You choose this ring for its presence and light performance. The double halo makes the centre stone look larger, and the sheer number of pavé diamonds—on the halos, the band, and even the gallery underneath—means it sparkles from every conceivable angle. It’s a substantial ring that sits wide, not high.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the inner halo on the Fancy Yellow Ring look different from the outer one?
The inner halo is made of yellow gold to complement the colour of the fancy yellow centre diamond. The outer halo and the top of the band are white gold, which creates a bright contrast and makes the white accent diamonds appear even whiter. It’s a deliberate two-tone design choice.
Can I wear my gold and diamond ring in the shower or while washing my hands?
Yes, it’s generally safe to wear your gold and diamond ring while showering or washing hands, as both materials are durable. However, soaps, lotions, and oils can build up under the settings and dull the stones' sparkle, so you'll need to clean it more often to keep it looking its best.
How should a wide band ring like the Fancy Yellow Ring fit on my finger?
A wide band ring should fit snugly but still slide over your knuckle without too much struggle. Because it covers more surface area, a wider band can feel tighter than a thin one of the same size. We often recommend going up a quarter or half size for bands over 4mm wide.
