Lab-grown diamond quality
D–F colour · VS1 clarity or better
Every lab-grown diamond is D–F colour and VS1 clarity or better. Round brilliant lab-grown diamonds can receive a formal cut grade; fancy shapes are assessed through their proportions, polish, symmetry and overall make. Any piece whose centre stone, on its own, weighs 1.00ct or more includes an individual IGI grading report as standard. Total carat weight does not count towards this.
A heart does not need to close to feel complete. Cara lets two slim lines approach across the finger, shaping an open heart within a soft bypass curve. One side carries round brilliant lab-grown diamonds, while the other stays plain and polished, giving affection a quieter, more grown-up expression.
The contrast is the design. Fourteen micro prong-set stones, measuring 1.00mm, 1.10mm and 1.20mm, travel along only one side of the swirl. The unpaved gold answers them from the other direction. This deliberate one-sided treatment keeps the open heart clear and allows light, polished metal and negative space to share equal importance.
Also in sterling silver. Cara is available in 925 sterling silver — see the silver version.
Cara offers romance through balance, pairing one paved curve with one polished curve instead of filling the whole heart. Fourteen round brilliant lab-grown diamonds total 0.08ct, with three sizes following one side of the open bypass form. Choose 14kt for the harder, more scratch-resistant gold, or 18kt for more pure gold and a heavier feel. White, Yellow or Rose Gold changes the tone while preserving that defining contrast.

Cara's open band can sit comfortably alongside other stacking rings without crowding them. A plain band picks up its polished side, while a lightly set ring can answer the paved curve. It is equally clear worn alone, where the open heart and the contrast between gold and stones can be seen fully.
Are both sides of Cara's heart set with stones?
Cara places round brilliant lab-grown diamonds along one side of the open heart and leaves the other side plain and polished. This contrast is intentional and gives the bypass design its balanced, softly romantic character.
What sizes are Cara's fourteen stones?
Cara has seven 1.00mm, five 1.10mm and two 1.20mm round brilliant lab-grown diamonds. They are micro prong set along one curve and total approximately 0.08ct across the complete design.
Can Cara be worn in a ring stack?
Yes. Cara's open band is designed to sit comfortably beside other stacking rings without crowding them. A simple band works particularly well because it keeps the open heart and its polished and paved contrast easy to see.
