Solitaire Engagement Ring with 0.48 ct Diamond and Pavé Band in 18K Gold

A 0.48 carat round brilliant lab-grown diamond above a 22-stone pavé band — the solitaire given its frame.

The 0.48 carat round brilliant lab-grown diamond sits elevated above a pavé band set with 22 additional lab-grown diamonds in 18K yellow gold. The center stone is the point of the composition; the 22 stones along the band are its frame — present as amplifiers, not as competition.

At 3.1 grams, the ring is precisely weighted for the composition it carries. The pavé band transitions the eye from the plain shank upward to the elevated center stone, the continuous brilliance of the 22 accent diamonds creating a foundation that makes the center stone appear larger than its 0.48 carats alone.

The center stone and its band. Each serving the other.
