An Art Nouveau Heirloom, Made New
The marquise sits north-south, and the design extends its lines: a crowned diamond point rises above the tip, a mirrored point descends below, and the whole face reads as a single elongated compass star. The openwork gallery carries the airy, pierced character of antique Art Nouveau jewelry — lotus petals cradling the center, butterfly wings unfolding at the shoulders, a shank twisting like a vine. In white gold with a colorless diamond, it looks like something inherited from a very stylish great-grandmother — except the stone is graded, certified, and brand new.
The Lab-Grown Diamond: D Color, VVS, IGI Certified
The center is a genuine lab-grown diamond — chemically, physically, and optically identical to a mined diamond, simply created under lab conditions. At D color it is completely colorless, and at VVS clarity any inclusions are invisible to the naked eye. The round accents are lab-grown diamonds as well, so the entire ring carries matching diamond brilliance.
Every ring ships with its certificate from IGI, the International Gemological Institute, independently documenting the diamond's cut, color, clarity, and exact carat weight. If you're new to these stones, our complete guide to lab-grown diamonds walks through how they're grown, graded, and certified.
Why the Marquise Cut
The marquise has the largest face-up spread of any diamond cut per carat — its long, pointed silhouette stretches across the finger, making the stone look remarkably generous while elongating the hand. Beloved in antique and vintage jewelry, it's the natural centerpiece for an Art Nouveau-inspired design.
Choose your metal: 10K, 14K, 18K white gold, or platinum
Every ring is cast to order in your choice of solid white gold or platinum, each finished with bright rhodium for the mirror-silver luster white gold is loved for. 10K is the most durable and the most affordable. 14K is the classic balance of durability and gold content — our default and the most popular choice. 18K carries the highest gold content for a richer, more luxurious feel. Platinum is our premium option: naturally white, denser and heavier in the hand, hypoallergenic, and it never needs re-plating. Whichever you choose, the color is permanent — it will never fade and will never turn your skin green. See our 10K vs 14K vs 18K gold karat comparison guide for the full breakdown, and note that yellow and rose gold are available on request. The piece belongs to our lab-grown diamond engagement rings and solid gold engagement rings collections, and sits among our wider range of women's engagement rings.

Care & Craftsmanship
Each ring is made to order over 2–6 weeks — cast, set, and finished for your order specifically. Diamond and gold ask very little: warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush restore full brilliance. Store the ring in its velvet box when not worn, and remove it before heavy lifting or abrasive work.
Marquise Diamond White Gold Ring FAQs
Is this a real diamond?
Yes — the center is a genuine lab-grown diamond, chemically, physically, and optically identical to a mined diamond. It is not a simulant like cubic zirconia; it is true diamond, created under lab conditions.
What does IGI certified mean?
IGI (the International Gemological Institute) is an independent gemological laboratory. Your diamond's D color, VVS clarity, cut, and exact carat weight are graded and documented on the IGI certificate included with your ring.
Are the accent stones diamonds too?
Yes — the crown points and shoulder accents are round lab-grown diamonds, matching the center stone throughout the ring.
What do the butterfly and lotus symbolize?
The butterfly represents transformation and new beginnings; the lotus represents love that blooms through every season. Together with the twisted vine shank, the design tells the story of two lives growing and changing together.
Will a lab-grown diamond pass a diamond tester?
Yes — because it is a diamond. Lab-grown diamonds have the same thermal and electrical properties as mined diamonds and test as diamond on any standard tester.
Is a lab-grown diamond worth less than a mined one?
Lab-grown diamonds cost significantly less at purchase while being physically identical — a larger, higher-grade stone for the same budget, with independent IGI certification.
Will the diamond cloud or dull over time?
No. Diamond is a perfect 10 on the Mohs hardness scale — the hardest material in jewelry. Its brilliance is permanent with basic care.
Is this a vintage or antique style ring?
Yes — the pierced openwork gallery, marquise center, and botanical motifs are drawn from Art Nouveau jewelry of the early 1900s, reinterpreted with certified lab-grown stones and modern craftsmanship.
Which metal should I choose?
All four options are solid and built for everyday wear. 10K is the most durable and most affordable; 14K is our most popular, balancing durability with a rich gold content, and it's our default; 18K has the highest gold content for the most luxurious feel; and platinum is the premium choice — naturally white, denser, hypoallergenic, and it never needs re-plating. You can't go wrong, but 14K white gold is the classic pick. See our karat comparison guide if you'd like the full detail.
Is 14K white gold good for everyday wear?
Yes. 14K white gold is the standard for heirloom jewelry — durable, with a rhodium finish that gives it a bright mirror luster, and it will never turn skin green. 10K, 18K, and platinum are all offered as well and are equally suited to daily wear.
Can I pair it with a wedding band?
Yes — the ring wears beautifully alone, and it stacks well with a simple straight band or a gently curved band in matching white gold.
How long does made to order take?
Each ring is cast and set to order over 2–6 weeks. You'll receive tracking as soon as your ring ships.
Is this ring conflict-free?
Yes. Lab-grown diamonds are inherently conflict-free, and all materials are ethically sourced.
Does it come in other stones or metals?
Yes — the identical design is available with a GRA-certified moissanite center at a more accessible price, and in solid 14K yellow gold with either stone.
