A halo does something useful as well as pretty. Ringing the centre diamond with a circle of small stones makes it read bigger on the hand than its weight alone would buy you. Ariana does that, then keeps going, running diamonds down the sweep of the cathedral band so the whole ring catches light rather than just the top of it.
Seven metals, one design
Ariana is made in 14ct and 18ct white gold, yellow gold and rose gold, and in 950 platinum. 14ct is harder and costs less. 18ct carries more colour, which shows most in yellow and rose. Platinum is the heaviest on the hand, and it's naturally white rather than plated white, so it doesn't fade.
The metal changes the colour and the weight. It doesn't change the ring.
The centre diamond is yours to choose
The centre stone isn't included in this price, and that's deliberate. You choose it at the next step from round brilliant diamonds we've hand-selected against our light-performance standard. Natural stones come GIA certified, lab grown come IGI certified, and every one is graded Excellent or Ideal for cut. Nothing below that gets into a Monroe Yorke ring, because cut is what decides whether a diamond gives the light back or lets it fall through the bottom.
A halo suits a smaller centre stone particularly well, so this is a design where your budget can go further than you'd expect.
The halo and the band
Between them, the halo and the band carry 0.48 to 0.58 carats of round brilliants across 28 to 34 stones, micro claw set so there's as little metal as possible standing between them and the light. You can have these in natural or lab grown as well. Natural sits at F to G colour, lab grown at D to E, both VS clarity.
Underneath, the band is shaped with an under-rail so a straight wedding ring sits flat against it instead of leaving a gap. Nobody thinks about that until they're buying the second ring.
