Emerald Cut Lotus Prong Milgrain Lab-Grown Diamond Engagement Ring in Solid 14K Gold
A 1ct emerald-cut Lab-Grown Diamond in a sculpted lotus prong basket — four double prongs curve inward like petals around the stone's corners, a milgrain-edged gallery set with Lab-Grown Diamond accents beneath. The emerald cut is the quiet flex of fine jewelry: a wide open table and long step-cut facets that trade bright fire for a hall-of-mirrors flash and clarity you can actually see. The lotus basket gives it a setting with the same understated confidence. Handcrafted to order in our Woodside, Queens workshop.
The center stone
A 1ct emerald-cut Lab-Grown Diamond — the most architectural of the step cuts, with a rectangular silhouette, cropped corners, and long open facets that favor clarity and depth over brilliance. Because the emerald cut's broad table leaves nowhere to hide, it shows off a clean stone in a way round and princess cuts don't — what you see is exactly what you get. Lab-Grown Diamonds are physically, chemically, and optically identical to mined diamonds: same hardness (10 on the Mohs scale), same refractive index, same brilliance — grown in a controlled environment, graded by the same 4Cs.
The lotus prong basket
Four double prongs — each splitting into two tips — anchor the emerald cut's cropped corners and curve gently inward like lotus petals closing around the stone. The split prong design protects the emerald cut's exposed corners, its most vulnerable point, while giving the setting a sculptural quality that plain claw prongs don't have. Below the stone, a milgrain-edged gallery is set with a row of Lab-Grown Diamond accents visible from the side profile — the detail that rewards the second look. A fine milgrain border traces the gallery edge throughout.
The band
A tapered cathedral shank rises gently to meet the basket — slightly wider at the shoulders, narrowing toward the back — echoing the emerald cut's clean lines while keeping the ring comfortable for daily wear. High-polish finish throughout; the milgrain is confined to the gallery so it reads as intentional detail rather than all-over texture.
The metal
Available in solid 14K yellow gold, 14K white gold, and 14K rose gold — all nickel-free, solid throughout, never plated or gold-filled. White gold sharpens the emerald cut's cool, glassy clarity. Yellow gold gives the lotus basket warmth and Art Deco character, the classic pairing for a step cut. Rose gold softens the emerald cut's geometry into something more romantic.
