The diamondA diamond is a diamond.
The Gemological Institute of America says lab-grown diamonds have essentially the same chemical, physical and optical properties as mined ones. Same hardness. Same brilliance. No mine.

- The diamond. A one-carat emerald cut lab-grown diamond, white and bright, laid horizontally across the finger. Want color? It's one tap away.
- The detail. A smooth bezel hugs the diamond, and side stones run along a knife-edge band that comes to a fine ridge.
- The band. 2.5 microns of 18K gold over sterling silver. Every surface she sees is 18K.
Where your money goes
Designer-level shape. Not designer-level price.
East-west settings are what fashion-forward jewelers charge a premium for. The Meridian gives you the look with a real lab-grown diamond, the same diamond as a mined one, for a fraction of the mined cost.
Choose 18K gold vermeil in yellow or rose, platinum vermeil over silver, or solid 14K and 18K gold in yellow, white or rose.
Same diamond. Different direction. Unmistakably hers.

One ring, three kinds of shine
Modern, from every angle.
The diamond
The settingBezel set. Snag-free.
A bezel wraps the diamond in a smooth rim of metal. Nothing sticks up to catch on sweaters or hair, so it's made for everyday wear.
The bandA knife-edge line.
The band rises to a fine ridge lined with side stones. It looks slimmer on the hand and leads the eye straight to the center.
Her metal, her call
Yellow, rose or white. Same price, every one.
Yellow, rose or white. The Meridian comes in vermeil or solid 14K and 18K gold, and the metal color you choose never changes the price.
Emerald cut
East-west, done right.
An emerald cut set horizontally reads wider and more sculptural on the finger. In a clean bezel, it looks modern without trying.
White, or something rarer
A diamond in her color.
Classic white, or a blue, pink, yellow or green lab-grown diamond, picked for your ring one stone at a time. Before we set a colored diamond, we send you a video of your actual stone. You say yes, then we make the ring.
Make it yours
Put it in writing.
Her name. The date. The coordinates of where you asked. Engrave up to 25 characters inside the band, outside, or both, from +$20.

Is a lab-grown diamond a real diamond?
Yes. It's carbon crystallized into diamond, just like a mined stone, with essentially the same chemical, physical and optical properties according to the GIA. It was grown above ground instead of dug out of it.
Can I pay over time?
Pay with Shop Pay Installments on eligible US orders paid in USD. Orders $50 to $999.99: 4 interest-free payments, every two weeks. Orders $1,000 to $30,000: 6 monthly payments at 0% APR, subject to approval. Other plans may include interest. You'll see your exact plan before you confirm.
Which metals and colors can I choose?
All three colors: yellow, rose and white. In yellow or rose, choose 18K gold vermeil, 14K solid gold or 18K solid gold. In white, choose Platinum vermeil, or 14K or 18K solid white gold. The color you pick never changes the price.
What is 18K gold vermeil?
A thick layer of 18K gold over sterling silver. Ours is 2.5 microns of 18K gold, more than ten times the minimum for ordinary gold plating. You get the color and glow of solid 18K gold on every surface, at a fraction of the price.
Can she wear it every day?
Yes, it's made for it. Treat it like any fine ring: slip it off for the gym, the pool and cleaning products, and it will keep its glow.
Can I go bigger, or smaller?
Yes. Tap + or − under Your diamond to go from 1 ct all the way to 3 ct. The price updates as you go.
How do colored diamonds work?
Choose blue, pink, yellow or green and we find a colored lab-grown diamond for your ring. Every colored diamond is one of a kind, so we send you a video of the actual stone. We make your ring only after you approve it.
How long will it take?
Your ring is handmade to order in 10–15 business days, then ships free, insured and tracked within the US. Have a date in mind? Message us before you order and we'll plan it with you. Shipping policy
What if I don't know her ring size?
Borrow a ring she wears on that finger and check it against our size guide, or message us and we'll help you work it out.
Can I change or cancel my order?
Yes, within 48 hours of ordering. After that, your ring is already being made. Our made-to-order policy covers returns and exchanges.
What does the warranty cover?
Our Lifetime Warranty covers manufacturing and craftsmanship defects with repair or replacement, and it follows the ring if it's a gift.
What does east-west mean?
The emerald cut sits horizontally across your finger instead of pointing toward your nail. It's a modern twist on a classic shape.
Is the diamond real?
Yes. It's a lab-grown diamond, a real diamond. Only its origin is different.
Is a bezel good for everyday wear?
Yes. The metal rim protects the diamond's edges and has no prongs to snag, which makes it one of the most practical settings there is.
