Note: this is made-to-order. Production time is typically 4-8 weeks. Message Gabrielle to further customize your piece. We work closely with you during the design process to ensure your piece is perfect before its cast. Because each piece is uniquely handcrafted to your specifications, all sales are final.
Turned on its side, and all the stronger for it.
Why follow tradition when you can lead? The Margot reimagines the classic solitaire by rotating it ninety degrees. Set east-west, the oval spans the width of the finger rather than running along it — a bolder, flatter, more graphic silhouette that reads as architecture rather than ornament.
Underneath it sits a substantial high-polish cigar band, roughly 6mm and hand-tapered so the weight sits comfortably. The bezel frames the diamond and holds it flush to the hand, protecting the girdle and keeping the whole ring snag-free. This is jewelry built for someone who wears it through a working day, not one that lives in a box.
Why this one
- A silhouette nobody else has. East-west orientation is still rare, and instantly recognizable on the hand.
- Weighted, not hollow. A true cigar band has real gold in it — you feel the difference immediately.
- Low and secure. The bezel sits the stone flush: no snagging on knitwear, no catching on a child's hair.
- Works three ways. An engagement ring, a right-hand power ring, or an anniversary upgrade.
Choosing your center stone
Because the Margot depends on the oval's length-to-width ratio, the stone is chosen rather than ordered. I hand-select three lab diamonds that meet the Cleo Lens standard for light performance, send you high-definition tweezer videos of each in natural light, then render your actual stone in your chosen metal so you can approve the proportions before we cast.
The details
- Center stone: hand-selected oval lab diamond, 1–5ct (1.5–3ct suits the proportions best)
- Setting: hand-cast bezel, tailored to your diamond's exact dimensions
- Band: approximately 6mm cigar band, hand-tapered
- Metal: 14k or 18k yellow, rose or white gold
- Made to order in the USA · CAD approval before casting
Select your metal, size and carat weight and add it to your bag to open your sourcing session. Nothing is cast until you have seen your stone and approved the CAD.
