To guarantee its identity forever, each diamond is microscopically laser-inscribed with its unique certificate number, providing you with absolute assurance of its authenticity, quality, and value.
Certified Ethical & Conflict-Free
The beauty of your diamond must be matched by the purity of its journey. We guarantee that our diamonds are ethically sourced in strict accordance with all United Nations resolutions and the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme. This ensures that every natural diamond is confirmed conflict-free, allowing you to wear your personal masterpiece with a clear conscience and absolute confidence in its origin.
A Visibly Brighter Diamond
The result of our meticulous selection process is simple: a diamond that is visibly more radiant and full of life. Our strict standards for cut, colour, and clarity culminate in a stone that outshines the rest, making your engagement ring a truly exceptional symbol of your love.

FAQ - Your Engagement Ring Questions, Answered
Choosing an engagement ring is a significant decision, and it is natural to have questions. Our experts have provided answers to some of the most common inquiries to help guide you on your journey.
How much should I spend on an engagement ring in Australia?
The traditional "two months' salary" rule is outdated. The right amount to spend is what feels comfortable for your personal financial situation.The most important factor is choosing a ring that your partner will love and cherish. At Monroe Yorke, we offer a wide range of options to suit various budgets, as well as flexible financing options to make your dream ring a reality.
What is the difference between a natural and a lab-grown diamond?
Natural diamonds are formed deep within the Earth over billions of years, making them rare and timeless. Lab-grown diamonds are created in a controlled environment using advanced technology that replicates the natural growing process.They are chemically, physically, and optically identical to natural diamonds—they are real diamonds. The primary differences are their origin and price point, with lab-grown diamonds offering exceptional value.
Which metal is best for an engagement ring: Platinum or Gold?
Both platinum and gold are excellent choices. Platinum is a naturally white metal known for its durability and hypoallergenic properties, making it a premium choice that holds diamonds very securely.White gold is an alloy of yellow gold and white metals, plated with rhodium for a brilliant white finish. It offers a classic look at a more accessible price but may require re-plating every few years to maintain its brightness. Yellow and rose gold offer beautiful, warm tones and are also durable choices.
What are the most popular engagement ring styles?
While trends evolve, some styles remain timelessly popular. The Solitaire, featuring a single, stunning diamond, is the epitome of classic elegance.Halo rings, which encircle the centre stone with smaller diamonds, are loved for their immense sparkle and ability to make the main diamond appear larger.Three-Stone rings, representing the past, present, and future, are a deeply symbolic and beautiful choice.
How do I find out my partner's ring size?
If you want to keep the proposal a surprise, you can discreetly borrow a ring they wear on their ring finger and have it measured by a jeweller. Alternatively, you can ask a close friend or family member for help. If you are unsure, it is often better to choose a slightly larger size, as it is generally easier to size a ring down than up. Most engagement rings can be resized.
What are the 4Cs of diamonds?
The 4Cs—Cut, Colour, Clarity, and Carat Weight—are the global standard for assessing the quality of a diamond.
- Cut: Refers to the quality of a diamond's angles and facets, which determines its brilliance. This is arguably the most important 'C'.
- Colour: Grades the absence of colour in a diamond, on a scale from D (colourless) to Z (light yellow).
- Clarity: Measures the absence of internal inclusions or external blemishes.
- Carat: Refers to the diamond's weight, which determines its size.
What does GIA Certification mean and why is it important?
A GIA (Gemological Institute of America) certificate is the most respected and rigorous diamond grading report in the world.It is an independent, unbiased assessment of a diamond's quality based on the 4Cs. A GIA certificate provides definitive proof of your diamond's characteristics and value, ensuring you are getting exactly what you paid for. It is the gold standard of diamond authentication.
