The Calida splits the band in two. One half stays plain and polished, the other carries a fine line of claw set round brilliants running up toward the centre stone. From above you read a single ring. From the side you see two.
The join is the difficult part. Both halves have to meet the centre setting at the same height or the ring rocks on the finger, and the diamond-set half has to be finished before it is shaped because bending a set band afterwards loosens the stones. Our master jeweller builds the two halves as a pair and checks them against each other before either is set.
The accent line carries 34 round brilliants, 0.15ct in total, micro claw set so there is almost no metal visible between them. Choose natural or lab-grown for the accents at Step 1.
Available in 14ct or 18ct white, yellow or rose gold, or 950 platinum. The centre setting is always white gold or platinum, which keeps the centre diamond reading neutral against a warmer band.
Choose your centre diamond at Step 2, then we hand-finish the ring in our Australian workshop.

Care & warranty
Everyday wear
Your ring is hand-finished for daily wear. Take it off for the gym, contact sports, gardening, and heavy manual work. Diamonds are the hardest natural material but can chip on impact against another diamond or a metal surface. Chlorine from pools accelerates gold's oxidation over years, rinse the ring after swimming.
Cleaning at home
Weekly: warm water, a drop of mild dish soap, a soft toothbrush, and pat dry. Focus on the underside of the centre diamond and behind the setting, where skin oils collect and dull the light return.
Professional maintenance
Every 12 to 18 months at any of our four showrooms. Included in the lifetime warranty at no cost. We ultrasonic-clean, re-tip any worn prongs, polish the band, and inspect the setting under 10x loupe.
Resize policy
Complimentary resize within 60 days of delivery. After 60 days, resizes are $180 within Australia (we cover return shipping both ways). Turnaround is five to seven business days.
Warranty scope
Lifetime warranty covers workmanship, prong integrity, and metal wear. Does not cover accidental damage, loss, theft, or wear from harsh chemicals. Every warranty claim starts with a free inspection at any of our four showrooms or by mail-in.
