14ct Yellow Gold
How to choose your metal

Every option is hand-finished in our Australian workshop. The difference comes down to purity, weight and longevity.

  • 950 platinum · 95% pure · Naturally white and hypoallergenic. Never needs plating. The densest metal we work with, so it feels heaviest on the hand. Most enduring choice for daily wear.
  • 18ct gold · 75% pure gold · The traditional standard for fine Australian jewellery. Richer colour, heftier feel. Our recommendation for engagement rings and heirloom pieces.
  • 14ct gold · 58% pure gold · Slightly harder alloy than 18ct, priced a step below. A practical middle ground when durability matters as much as purity.
  • 9ct gold · 37.5% pure gold · The hardest gold in the range and the most affordable. Ideal for everyday chains, pendants and pieces that take heavier knocks.

On colour

  • Yellow gold deepens naturally with age and needs no plating.
  • White gold is rhodium-plated for its bright finish. Re-plate every 2 to 3 years at our workshop.
  • Rose gold deepens slightly with wear. No plating needed.

Which to pick if...

  • Wedding ring worn daily: 950 platinum
  • Engagement ring: 18ct gold, or platinum if you want maximum enduring wear
  • Everyday chain or pendant: 9ct for durability, 18ct for finer finish
  • Sensitive skin: platinum or high-karat yellow gold (avoid rhodium-plated white gold if you react to nickel; some rose gold alloys can react to copper sensitivity)

Natural vs Lab
Natural and lab-grown, both are real diamonds.

Same crystal structure, same hardness, same brilliance. The difference is origin.

  • Natural diamonds, formed deep in the earth over billions of years. Retain resale value longer.
  • Lab-grown diamonds, grown above ground in months, chemically identical. Often lets you fit a larger or higher-grade stone within the same budget.
iThis choice applies to the 24 pavé diamonds on this setting (0.24ct total). Your centre diamond, natural or lab, is chosen separately in Step 2.

A Warm Glow of Luxury and Everlasting Romance

Bathed in the gentle radiance of yellow gold, the Blake Engagement Ring is a celebration of golden light and eternal devotion.
Hand-finished and crafted in your choice of 14 ct or 18 ct yellow gold, this exceptional ring combines timeless design with modern grace — the perfect symbol of a love that glows from within.

At its heart rests your choice of a certified cushion cut diamond, selected from our curated collection of independently graded natural or lab-grown diamonds. Each diamond is cut to ideal proportions to reveal its full brilliance, fire, and scintillation — producing a soft, romantic sparkle that captures every emotion.

The basket-style centre setting gently lifts the diamond above a polished yellow-gold band, its warmth beautifully offset by a line of round brilliant accent diamonds set along the shoulders. Together they create a golden harmony — radiant, elegant, and effortlessly timeless.

Why You’ll Love the Blake

  • Available in 14 ct & 18 ct Yellow Gold: Rich, classic tones that radiate warmth and sophistication.

  • Certified Cushion Cut Centre: Select your certified natural or lab-grown diamond from our curated collection.

  • Round Brilliant Accents: Approximately 0.40 carats of diamonds illuminate the band with refined brilliance.

  • Basket Setting: Designed to secure the diamond while maximising light performance.

  • Hand-Finished and Crafted in Australia: A masterful expression of quality and precision.

Our Diamond Standard

Cut for perfect light return.

The single standard every diamond we set has to meet, whether it's your centre stone or an accent.

Excellent cut

Excellent cut natural or Ideal cut lab. The single most important factor in how a diamond returns light. A great cut in a modest colour outperforms a poor cut in a top colour every time.

Symmetry & polish

Excellent symmetry, excellent polish. The finishing decisions the cutter makes after the cut is done. Determines whether the light comes out clean or scattered.

No fluorescence

None or Faint only. Strong fluorescence can make a diamond look milky or hazy in daylight. We hand-select stones with clean fluor grading.

Colour, honest

D to G natural. D to E lab-grown. The colour range where a diamond reads white to the naked eye without paying for grades you cannot see.

Common Questions

Your questions, answered.

Ring information reviewed August 2026

Why is the centre diamond bought separately?

Two reasons. Choice, the centre diamond is the single biggest variable in the ring's final look and price. Buying setting and diamond as one bundle means compromising on one to save on the other. This way you match the diamond exactly to your budget, taste, and the recipient's preference.

And speed, the setting can start being made the moment you order Step 1, while you take your time choosing the diamond.

Why do larger ring sizes cost extra?

More precious metal, more setting time. Sizes above the standard range use noticeably more gold or platinum and need extra finishing hours to keep proportions right. The exact supplement shows next to the size the moment you select it, and again as its own line in the running total.

What if I pick the wrong centre shape now?

You can change it up until you commit to a specific diamond in Step 2. Your shape choice on this page pre-filters the diamond search to speed things up. If you land on the search and change your mind, change the filter and the setting adapts.

Can I mix natural and lab-grown diamonds?

Yes. Your centre diamond can be natural or lab-grown regardless of any accent diamonds on the setting. All combinations are supported.

Can I see this ring in person?

Yes. Book a private appointment at any of our four Australian showrooms, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane or Perth.

How long from order to delivery?

Six weeks from the moment your order is confirmed. Includes the six workshop stages plus insured overnight shipping.
