Grazia - Princess Cut Diamond Engagement Ring

For the customer who walks in knowing she wants a princess cut

The princess cut is the second-most-popular shape for engagement rings in Australia, after the round brilliant. It has the brilliance of a round (square top, brilliant-cut faceting underneath) with a more modern outline. The Grazia is our most considered princess-cut setting, framing the centre stone with alternating princess and baguette cut diamonds along the shoulders.

The shoulder design is the detail that separates this ring from the standard princess-cut solitaire. Princess diamonds and baguette diamonds alternate down each side of the band, creating a continuous run of light that frames the centre without competing with it. The princess accents echo the centre shape. The baguettes read as architectural breathing space between them. The effect on the finger is a ring with significant visible diamond presence, but read clean rather than busy.

Choose 18ct yellow, white or rose gold, or 950 platinum. The platinum option holds the centre claws tighter than gold and is the right choice if your centre diamond is above 1.5 carats. White gold and platinum read interchangeably to the eye but platinum is the more wearable long-term metal. Yellow and rose gold give the ring a warmer, more traditional palette.

Every Monroe Yorke ring goes through ten distinct stages over four to eight weeks. Design refinement. Three-dimensional modelling. Casting. Stone sourcing. Cleaning. Polishing. Setting. About eight hours of bench-level finishing. Quality control. And the final approval our master jeweller signs off himself. Made in Australia, ten stages, no shortcuts.

The setting starts at $4,539. Your centre diamond is priced separately, GIA or IGI certified, chosen in step two.

Who this ring is for

You've decided on a princess cut. You like the geometry of the square shape but you don't want a plain band. The alternating princess-and-baguette shoulders give you the visual weight of a halo design without an actual halo, which is the right choice for customers who find halos slightly busy.

If you want a simpler princess-cut solitaire setting with no shoulder accents, ask us about the equivalent Daylin variant. If you want this same shoulder-stone treatment but with a round brilliant centre, the Clover is the closest design language.

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.
