Crafted with Intention
Romantic Brilliance, Eternal Grace
The Carina Cushion Cut Diamond Halo Engagement Ring in platinum embodies timeless romance and modern refinement. Designed to celebrate life’s most meaningful moments, this exquisite setting combines the soft curves of the cushion cut with the icy radiance of platinum — a pairing that feels both classic and contemporary.
A Halo of Light, A Symbol of Love
Crafted to hold a GIA-certified cushion cut centre diamond of your choice, the Carina features a delicate halo of claw-set round brilliant accent diamonds encircling the centre stone. The halo enhances the diamond’s natural fire and brilliance, creating a captivating illusion of greater size and sparkle. Each diamond in the halo is meticulously selected for its superior cut, colour and clarity, resulting in a breathtaking display of light from every angle.
Select Your Centre Diamond
The listed price is for the ring setting and halo accent diamonds only. Your centre diamond can be chosen separately from our curated database of GIA-certified natural or lab grown diamonds, with a wide range of carat sizes, colours and clarities to suit your preferences. Once this setting is selected, you’ll be guided to browse our exclusive diamond selection and create a ring that is uniquely yours.
Platinum — The Ultimate Expression of Strength and Purity
Hand finished in 950 platinum, the Carina exudes enduring strength and luminosity. Platinum’s naturally white lustre perfectly complements the brilliance of the diamonds, ensuring your ring retains its beauty for generations. Its durability, hypoallergenic properties, and luxurious weight make it the ultimate choice for those who seek perfection in every detail.
Exceptional Craftsmanship, Lifetime Promise
Each Monroe Yorke Diamonds creation is hand-finished in Australia by master jewellers who combine artistry and precision. The result is a ring that feels as exceptional as it looks — a masterpiece of light, balance and enduring beauty, backed by our lifetime warranty.

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?
Yes. Every diamond we supply is independently graded — GIA for natural diamonds, and GIA or IGI for lab-grown. The original lab report is shipped with your ring.
