18ct White Gold
How to choose your metal

Every option is hand-finished in our Australian workshop. The difference comes down to purity, weight and longevity.

  • 950 platinum · 95% pure · Naturally white and hypoallergenic. Never needs plating. The densest metal we work with, so it feels heaviest on the hand. Most enduring choice for daily wear.
  • 18ct gold · 75% pure gold · The traditional standard for fine Australian jewellery. Richer colour, heftier feel. Our recommendation for engagement rings and heirloom pieces.
  • 14ct gold · 58% pure gold · Slightly harder alloy than 18ct, priced a step below. A practical middle ground when durability matters as much as purity.
  • 9ct gold · 37.5% pure gold · The hardest gold in the range and the most affordable. Ideal for everyday chains, pendants and pieces that take heavier knocks.

On colour

  • Yellow gold deepens naturally with age and needs no plating.
  • White gold is rhodium-plated for its bright finish. Re-plate every 2 to 3 years at our workshop.
  • Rose gold deepens slightly with wear. No plating needed.

Which to pick if...

  • Wedding ring worn daily: 950 platinum
  • Engagement ring: 18ct gold, or platinum if you want maximum enduring wear
  • Everyday chain or pendant: 9ct for durability, 18ct for finer finish
  • Sensitive skin: platinum or high-karat yellow gold (avoid rhodium-plated white gold if you react to nickel; some rose gold alloys can react to copper sensitivity)

Natural
Natural vs Lab
Natural and lab-grown, both are real diamonds.

Same crystal structure, same hardness, same brilliance. The difference is origin.

  • Natural diamonds, formed deep in the earth over billions of years. Retain resale value longer.
  • Lab-grown diamonds, grown above ground in months, chemically identical. Often lets you fit a larger or higher-grade stone within the same budget.
iThis choice applies to the 34 - 40 pavé diamonds on this setting (0.45 - 0.60ct total). Your centre diamond, natural or lab, is chosen separately in Step 2.

A halo, and something underneath it

The Lana is a round brilliant in a diamond halo on a diamond set band. That much you can see from the front. The detail worth knowing sits underneath.

Beneath the centre setting is a bezel set diamond held in an angel-wing motif. It is invisible when the ring is worn and visible only when the hand turns. We put it there because the underside of a halo setting is the one surface a wearer sees more often than anyone else does, and leaving it plain is a wasted opportunity.

The halo and shoulders carry 34 to 40 round brilliants, 0.45 to 0.60ct in total, micro claw set. Choose natural or lab-grown for the accents at Step 1.

Available in 14ct or 18ct white, yellow or rose gold, or 950 platinum. The centre setting is always white gold or platinum, which keeps the halo reading as one continuous ring of light rather than a warm outline around a cool stone.

Platinum is the heaviest option at around 7g against 5g in gold, and holds the halo claws tighter over time. If your centre stone is above 1.5 carats it is the one we would point you to.

Choose your centre diamond at Step 2, then we hand-finish the ring in our Australian workshop.

Our Diamond Standard

Cut for perfect light return.

The single standard every diamond we set has to meet, whether it's your centre stone or an accent.

Excellent cut

Excellent cut natural or Ideal cut lab. The single most important factor in how a diamond returns light. A great cut in a modest colour outperforms a poor cut in a top colour every time.

Symmetry & polish

Excellent symmetry, excellent polish. The finishing decisions the cutter makes after the cut is done. Determines whether the light comes out clean or scattered.

No fluorescence

None or Faint only. Strong fluorescence can make a diamond look milky or hazy in daylight. We hand-select stones with clean fluor grading.

Colour, honest

D to G natural. D to E lab-grown. The colour range where a diamond reads white to the naked eye without paying for grades you cannot see.

Common Questions

Your questions, answered.

Ring information reviewed August 2026

Why is the centre diamond bought separately?

Two reasons. Choice, the centre diamond is the single biggest variable in the ring's final look and price. Buying setting and diamond as one bundle means compromising on one to save on the other. This way you match the diamond exactly to your budget, taste, and the recipient's preference.

And speed, the setting can start being made the moment you order Step 1, while you take your time choosing the diamond.

Why do larger ring sizes cost extra?

More precious metal, more setting time. Sizes above the standard range use noticeably more gold or platinum and need extra finishing hours to keep proportions right. The exact supplement shows next to the size the moment you select it, and again as its own line in the running total.

What if I pick the wrong centre shape now?

You can change it up until you commit to a specific diamond in Step 2. Your shape choice on this page pre-filters the diamond search to speed things up. If you land on the search and change your mind, change the filter and the setting adapts.

Can I mix natural and lab-grown diamonds?

Yes. Your centre diamond can be natural or lab-grown regardless of any accent diamonds on the setting. All combinations are supported.

Can I see this ring in person?

Yes. Book a private appointment at any of our four Australian showrooms, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane or Perth.

How long from order to delivery?

Six weeks from the moment your order is confirmed. Includes the six workshop stages plus insured overnight shipping.
