Crafted with Intention
Romantic Brilliance, Timeless Glow
The Carina Cushion Cut Diamond Halo Engagement Ring is a celebration of everlasting love — a design that beautifully merges vintage charm with modern sophistication. Crafted in your choice of 18ct or 14ct white, yellow, or rose gold, this ring embodies warmth, romance, and refined luxury.
A Halo of Light That Captures Every Heart
Designed to showcase a GIA-certified cushion cut centre diamond of your choice, the Carina features a halo of claw-set round brilliant accent diamonds that delicately surround the centre stone. The halo enhances the diamond’s natural brilliance, adding breathtaking sparkle and the illusion of a larger carat size. Each accent diamond is carefully selected for its colour and clarity, totalling approximately 0.35 carats, to create a radiant and harmonious glow from every angle.
Choose Your Perfect Diamond
The displayed price is for the ring setting and halo accent diamonds only. Once you select this setting, you’ll be guided to our exclusive diamond database to choose your GIA-certified natural or lab grown centre diamond — available in a range of carat sizes, colours, and clarities. Whether you envision a 1.00 ct or 3.00 ct cushion cut, each diamond is independently graded, laser-inscribed, and hand-matched for exceptional beauty and value.
Crafted for a Lifetime of Elegance
Every Carina ring is hand-finished by Monroe Yorke Diamonds’ master jewellers with meticulous attention to proportion, balance, and detail. The refined halo design enhances the romantic cushion silhouette, while the sleek gold band ensures everyday comfort. Choose white gold for its cool, modern brilliance; yellow gold for a timeless, sun-kissed glow; or rose gold for a soft, romantic blush.
Exceptional Craftsmanship, Lifetime Promise
Each piece is crafted to perfection and covered by our lifetime warranty, a promise of enduring craftsmanship and lasting beauty. The Carina’s graceful silhouette and dazzling halo make it an unforgettable expression of love, designed to shine forever.

Four properties decide whether a diamond performs.
Cut, colour, clarity and certification. Each one is our standard, not the industry's. Together they deliver perfect light return: diamonds that shine brighter than the one next to them.
Colour. D to G natural, D to E lab grown.
Most eyes start seeing warmth around H. Every Monroe Yorke diamond reads as white on the finger. No tint, no apology.
Clarity. FL to VS2 natural, FL to VVS2 lab grown.
Below SI2 you start seeing specks. Hold any of our diamonds up to a lamp. You'll see nothing but light.
Certification. Independently graded, every time.
Every engagement ring centre diamond ships with an independent lab report. GIA for natural, IGI for lab grown. No in-house certificates, ever.

Request Changes ›Frequently asked questions
Does the price include the centre diamond?
No — the price shown is for the setting only, hand-finished in your chosen metal. After you confirm this setting, we'll take you to our diamond search where you can select a GIA or IGI certified centre diamond — natural or lab-grown — that fits this design.
What centre diamonds fit this setting?
The diamond search will be pre-filtered to show only compatible stones — no guesswork, no returns for fit. Check the 'Compatible Diamonds' tab above for exact shape, carat, cut, colour, and clarity specifications.
When will my ring ship?
Every Monroe Yorke ring is hand-finished to order. Standard lead time is 6 weeks from the moment you confirm your centre diamond. Our dispatch days are Monday through Thursday — if the calculated date lands on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday, we dispatch on the following Monday.
Can I customise this ring?
The metal and karat are standard options — just select one above. For custom modifications like a different claw count, wider band, hidden halo, or mixed metals, book a free consultation and our master jewellers will quote the variation.
Are lab-grown and natural diamonds both certified?
