Stone Origins
Lab-Grown &
Natural Diamonds
Both are real diamonds with the same crystal structure, hardness and optical properties. The difference is origin, rarity and the story you want the stone to carry.
Lab-Grown
Created in a controlled environment, usually offering a larger or higher-grade stone for the same budget. Best when size, precision and value lead the decision.
Natural
Formed in the earth over immense time and naturally finite. Best when geological rarity, provenance and traditional collectability matter most.
Starlume noteChoose by meaning, not appearance: without specialist equipment, a comparable lab-grown and natural diamond look the same.
Light & Fire
Moissanite &
Diamond
Moissanite is a different gemstone, known for vivid rainbow fire. Diamond reflects a more balanced mix of white brilliance and coloured dispersion.
Brilliance
Moissanite shows stronger rainbow flashes; diamond gives crisper white light.
Hardness
Diamond is 10 on the Mohs scale; moissanite is about 9.25. Both suit daily wear.
Price
Moissanite costs considerably less at a similar visual size.
Character
Choose diamond for classic restraint; moissanite for expressive fire and scale.
The Right Fit
Ring Size
Guide
The most reliable method is to have your finger measured by a jeweller using a band close to the width of your chosen ring.
- 01
Measure at the right time
Measure near the end of the day, when hands are warm. Avoid measuring immediately after exercise, travel or exposure to cold.
- 02
Use a ring that already fits
Measure its inside diameter across the widest point. Do not include the metal edge.
- 03
Allow for band width
Wide bands feel tighter than fine bands. For a wider design, a quarter to half size larger may feel more comfortable.
Before orderingEternity bands and highly detailed settings can be difficult to resize. Confirm the size before production whenever possible.

Care
Remove jewellery before sport, showering, swimming, cleaning or applying lotion and perfume.
Soak most diamond and gold pieces briefly in warm water with mild soap, brush gently with a very soft brush, rinse and pat dry.
Store pieces separately in soft pouches so stones and metal do not scratch one another.
Have prongs, clasps and settings checked by a jeweller, especially for pieces worn every day.
Take careDo not use home ultrasonic cleaners on emeralds, opals, pearls or pieces with uncertain treatments. Ask us first.
