A plain crown, and a band full of light
The Sophia holds your centre diamond in a simple four claw crown and saves the detail for the band. Thirty-six pavé diamonds run along the shoulders and taper as they approach the centre, so the band reads as carrying light toward the stone rather than just holding it up.
We make it in 14ct and 18ct white, yellow and rose gold, and in 950 platinum. The claws stay white on every band colour, so your centre stone always sits in a white frame.
You choose the centre diamond yourself from our diamond search, natural or lab grown, each one GIA or IGI certified and cut for perfect light return.

Wearing it
Pavé is what people notice second. From across a table the Sophia reads as a clean solitaire; up close the band turns out to be full of diamonds. That suits a ring worn every day, because it doesn't announce itself but it rewards a closer look.

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.
