Gemma splits the band into two rows that sweep up and cross underneath the centre stone. That crossover does the structural work, holding the setting clear of the finger, and it's also the bit people turn the ring over to look at. A princess cut sits on top of it, all straight lines against all curves.
Seven metals, one design
Gemma 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. Gemma takes a princess, emerald or radiant 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 split band
Thirty-six round brilliants run up the two rows of the band, 0.36 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.
