Framed within a clean geometric bezel setting, the stone contrasts beautifully against the delicately engraved floral band—bringing together modern structure and timeless ornamental detail.
Elegant yet understated, The Core Ring was created as a wearable tribute to growth, perseverance, and the memories carried beyond graduation day.

Additional information
Diestruck vs. Cast
The way a ring is made directly impacts its strength, detail, and longevity.
Our cast pieces begin with a hand-carved master hub, where each detail is carefully sculpted by hand. From this original, molds are created to produce each piece—preserving the integrity and character of the design.
Our die struck pieces are formed by compressing solid metal under intense pressure using traditional tooling. This creates a denser, stronger ring with crisp detail and a refined finish.
The result is a piece that feels more substantial, holds its detail over time, and is made to be worn for a lifetime—and beyond.
Shipping & Production
Every piece is made to order, crafted specifically for you using traditional techniques and solid precious metals.
This approach ensures a higher level of quality and attention to detail, but also means production time is required before shipment.
Once your jewelry is complete, it will be carefully packaged and shipped to you.
If you’re working with a timeline—such as a proposal or special occasion—please reach out before ordering. We’ll do everything we can to accommodate your date.
Return Policy
Because each piece is made to order, we encourage you to reach out with any questions before purchasing to ensure the perfect selection.
We accept returns within 7 days of delivery, provided the item is in its original condition and packaging.
Exchanges are available within 30 days of delivery.
Items that show signs of wear, alteration, or damage may not be eligible. All returns and exchanges must be initiated within the timeframes listed above.
Size Guide

You can use our printable sizing guide at home—click here to view and print your sizing guide.
For the most precise fit, we also recommend being sized by a local jeweler.
Please note that wider bands may fit more snugly than thinner rings. If you’re between sizes, we’re happy to help you choose the best option.
Diamond Selection
Our engagement rings feature carefully selected diamonds chosen for their balance of beauty, quality, and lasting value.
As a standard, we use diamonds in the G–H color range, offering a near-colorless appearance that looks bright and white in any setting. This ensures your diamond maintains a clean, luminous look without the premium of higher color grades.
We select diamonds with SI1 clarity, meaning any natural inclusions are minimal and typically not visible to the naked eye. This allows for exceptional brilliance while maintaining a more accessible price point.
Each diamond is chosen for its overall brilliance, fire, and visual performance—not just its grading. We prioritize stones that appear lively and radiant in real-world lighting, ensuring your ring looks as stunning in everyday wear as it does in the showcase.
Depending on the design, diamonds may be natural or lab-grown, always clearly specified in the product details. Both options are selected to meet our strict standards for beauty and craftsmanship.
