Cut. Perfect proportions, perfect light return.

Our expert jewellers create stunning custom designs — from subtle modifications to completely bespoke creations.
The Spring is a solitaire engagement ring with quiet detail. A round brilliant centre diamond, four-claw set, elevated above the band so the light enters cleanly. Down each shoulder of the band, a row of small accent diamonds runs about two centimetres before disappearing into the polished metal. From a distance, this reads as a solitaire. Up close, the band catches light along its length.
The shoulder accents are micro-claw set so they sit flush with the metal. No raised stones, no catching on clothing or hair. Each accent is F or G colour, VS clarity, chosen so they match the centre stone's grade. The eye reads them as a continuous run of brightness rather than as separate diamonds.
Available in 14ct or 18ct gold (white, yellow or rose) or 950 platinum. Choose natural diamonds (GIA certified) or lab grown (IGI certified) for the centre. Both are sourced at the highest cut grade their respective labs award. The price difference between natural and lab grown is typically forty to sixty per cent at the same carat weight.
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.
You want a solitaire but not just any solitaire. The shoulder accents are the detail that separates this ring from the plain-band versions. They give the band visible diamond presence without competing with the centre stone. Customers who choose Spring tend to value design considered for the long view, not the obvious one.
If you want the pure solitaire with no shoulder accents, look at Love or Maria. If you want the diamonds to run further down the band, see Clover. If you want the platinum version, see Spring in Premium Platinum.
