The same diamond, the same certification — at the price it always should have been.
“Caught in a moment, destined for eternity.”
The Aurore de Versailles is built around a 2-carat cushion-cut lab-grown diamond (2 ct total), set in 14K White Gold and IGI-certified — independently graded, permanent, internationally recognised. It is a lab-grown diamond: atom-for-atom identical to a mined stone in fire, hardness and brilliance — the only reason a diamond of this grade reaches you at this price.
Two carats of certified lab-grown diamond, cushion-cut: the soft square the nineteenth century called the old-mine cut, when candlelight was the only stage a diamond had, and the cut was bred to hoard it.
Ours rides a slender pavé band of bright 14K white gold — a corridor of tiny brilliants leading to the throne — with a compass-point four-prong crown that lets the cushion float above the finger.
The diamond is colorless, F range, VS clarity, grown in a laboratory to the same crystal lattice the earth makes — certified, documented, indistinguishable except by its cleaner story.
Our Master Artisans in New York seat the cushion by hand, tuning each prong to the stone's soft corners. A cushion badly held looks round; this one holds its square the way a palace holds its ground.
“Caught in a moment, destined for eternity.”
The cushion was born in candlelight; its rounded corners and broad facets glow warm and alive in any light, a heritage cut with two centuries behind it.
Versailles at first light: gold gates still cold, gardens still silver — and one window already burning. Aurore de Versailles is that window.
The cushion survived electricity for a reason. Its pillowed corners and broad facets throw a slower, warmer sparkle than any round — light that rolls instead of snaps. Romantics call it candlelight in a stone; gemologists just call it inevitable.
Look at the proportions: the band deliberately thin, the stone deliberately generous. That contrast is the entire architecture. Her eye lands on two carats and stays there.
Daylight makes it elegant. Dinner makes it unforgettable. Candlelight — should you arrange some — makes it historic.
This is the ring for the woman who reads Austen without irony and negotiates without mercy. The cushion has always belonged to both.
