Engagement & Bridal
Engagement & Bridal is the work that brought Aurelia into being. A decade of design refined into a small, considered selection - solitaire, halo, three-stone, eternity - each available with a lab-grown or ethically-sourced natural center stone.
6 pieces · Lab-grown from $1,800 · Natural from $4,500
From the atelier
Every ring in this room is hand-set by a single master goldsmith from wax to polish. Bands are GIA-informed, hallmarked, and signed inside in the year of completion.
Three forms · One sensibility
Form 01
One stone, four prongs, one decision. The Aurelia 1.0ct is our bestseller for a reason - the knife-edge band catches a tracked-out gold line on the side profile that no halo or three-stone matches.

A smaller center stone, surrounded by twelve more - reads brighter from across the room, denser up close. The Estelle is our halo of choice; sunburst or tight micro-pavé, with optional shoulder pavé.
View the hero piece →Form 03
For anniversaries, vow renewals, and re-engagements. The Valencia carries three diamonds (or two sapphires); the Marais wraps the full finger in channel-set light. Both pair flush against a solitaire.

From the bench · GIA gemologist's note
We grade every Aurelia stone to GIA-informed standards (and certify against IGI, GCAL, or GIA, depending on stone). Here are the four spec lines that actually decide how a stone reads on the hand - in the order they matter.
Cut - the only one of the four that matters most
Cut is the only one of the 4Cs that humans can grade for. Color and clarity are measurable; cut is craft. A G/VS1 with an ideal cut outshines a D/IF with a poor cut at the same carat. Every Aurelia stone is ideal-cut, no exceptions.
Color - G is our floor for a reason
D-F is colorless. G-J is near-colorless. We grade to G as our floor - half a grade above where the eye can see warmth in a 1.0ct round-brilliant. Past G, you pay for a grade you can't see. Below G, the stone reads warm against white gold and platinum.
Clarity - VS1 is the sweet spot
VS1 means the inclusions are not visible to the eye, even under 10x magnification by a trained gemologist working at speed. VVS or IF clarity is real, but the price-per-grade jumps and the visible-to-eye difference is nil. VS1 is where the value lives.
Carat - buy the size, not the number
Carat is a measure of weight, not size. A well-cut 0.95ct can look larger on the hand than a poorly-cut 1.1ct. Don't chase the round number - chase the proportion that sits right on the finger you're buying for.
A piece of one
Every engagement form can be reshaped - different stone, scale, metal, or finish. Or begin entirely from a sketch. Eight to twelve weeks at the bench from first sketch to ship.
