May keeps the centre diamond high and clear of the band, so it reads as floating rather than sitting in the metal. The band rises to a shallow peak beneath it, set with twenty small diamonds that draw the eye up to the centre stone rather than competing with it. It's a quiet design. That's the point of it.
Seven metals, one design
May 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 claws holding your centre diamond are 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. May takes a round, oval 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.
The band
Twenty round brilliants run up the peak of the band, 0.10 carats in total, micro claw and pavé set. Natural sits at F to G colour, lab grown at D to E, both VS clarity. The profile stays slim, which is why May pairs cleanly with almost any wedding ring.
