An oval looks bigger than a round of the same weight, because the shape spreads the stone along the finger instead of down into it. That's most of why people choose it. Elodie holds one in a plain four-claw setting and runs small diamonds along the band, so the centre stone stays the thing you look at.
Seven metals, one design
Elodie 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.
Whichever band colour you choose, the setting holding your centre diamond is white gold or platinum. White metal disappears against a colourless stone, so the diamond looks whiter and larger than it would in yellow claws.
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. Elodie takes an oval, round or cushion cut, all 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.
The band
Sixteen round brilliants run along the band, 0.32 carats in total, 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. Natural sits at F to G colour, lab grown at D to E, both VS clarity.
