The same carbon crystal. The same hardness. The same fire and brilliance as a mined stone, identical in every way a gemologist can measure.
What is The 2N Graded Premium Lab Grown Diamond?
Before a stone carries the 2N Graded name, we examine it by hand under the loupe, and if an inclusion is visible to the eye, it is turned away. We then judge its cut and brilliance, and keep only stones with Excellent polish and symmetry, graded Ideal for cut wherever a cut grade applies. Each one is IGI certified and arrives with its report. Only the top 30% pass, and we turn away the other 70%.
Your piece is delivered with its IGI report card.
Bench made in New York by our Master Artisans, with new gold only, never melted down or recast. Delivered in 10–14 days.

StoneCushion Cut, The 2N Graded Premium Lab Grown Diamond
The Story of Cratere Antico
A late afternoon in a sunlit Lisbon tram, the tiles flashing past and the river appearing between the houses. A boy offers you a ripe fig and you take it. Worked in 18K Yellow Gold, its cushion-cut 2N Graded Premium Lab Grown Diamond rests against your skin as the bell rings and the tram climbs into the light.
