An emerald-cut diamond turned east-west across the finger, keeping the geometry of the stone but changing its posture completely.
The horizontal orientation gives the ring a low, graphic presence. Clean gold and restrained setting work allow the step-cut diamond to stay sharp and architectural, without adding unnecessary detail.
Minimal, but not conventional.

Each centre diamond is selected individually for cut, proportion and how it presents on the hand.
An emerald cut is about clarity of line rather than sparkle, and set horizontally that line becomes the whole design. The step facets show as broad, calm flashes instead of scintillation, so the stone rewards a closer look rather than a distant one. We select for even step cutting, an open table and a colour that stays consistent across the length.
Every MARLII LAB engagement ring is made to order and crafted by hand in Australia. Please allow 10-12 weeks once your design and centre diamond are confirmed.
The setting is made around the proportions of your chosen diamond rather than pulled from stock or adapted from a finished ring. The timeframe gives the workshop room to make and finish the piece properly, without rushing the details that matter.
If you are working to an earlier proposal, travel or celebration date, an express making service may be available for an additional $1,100, subject to workshop capacity. Please let us know your required date before ordering so we can confirm what is possible.
