A pear cut has a direction to it. It points down the finger, which makes a hand look longer and a diamond look larger than its weight suggests. Iris takes that shape, wraps it in a halo of round brilliants, then runs more diamonds up the sweep of the band to meet it, so the light doesn't stop at the centre stone.
Seven metals, one design
Iris 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 you choose, the ring is the same ring. The metal changes the colour and the weight, not the design.
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 from pear cut diamonds we've 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 halo and the band
Between them, the halo and the band carry 0.40 to 0.50 carats of round brilliants, micro claw set so there's as little metal as possible standing between the stones and the light. You can have these in natural or lab grown as well. Natural sits at F to G colour, lab grown at D to E, both VS clarity.
Made to order in our Australian workshop
We don't keep Iris on a shelf. Each one is made to order and hand-finished by our master jeweller. The band is kept low and even along the finger so a wedding ring can sit flat against it later, which is worth thinking about now rather than in a year's time.
Iris arrives with our Lifetime Warranty and free insured shipping anywhere in Australia.
