Better loving through chemistry

When you think of history's great romantics, who comes to mind? Marie Curie? Linus Pauling? Einstein? Probably not. But maybe they should, because scientists have been responsible for some of the most romantic breakthroughs of the last 100 years.

Take the groundbreaking process behind DiamondAura®. Using rare minerals heated close to an unbelievable 5,000˚F inside some very impressive (and expensive) laboratory equipment, our gemologists have created a stone that is optically brighter and more reflective than a naturally-mined diamond. And the labs can even reproduce the stunning look of the world's rarest colored diamonds-including the coveted canary, which is 10,000 times rarer than its brilliant white cousins.

The star of this show is an emerald-cut, lab-created Canary DiamondAura (4-½ ctw). The bold yellow beauty is tucked snugly in a .925 sterling silver bed, surrounded by sparkling white DiamondAura. But just as breathtaking as the golden hue of the centerpiece are the exquisite embellishments on the setting. Nearly every surface is adorned with delicate granulation, from the ornate, ivy-covered shoulders to the elegant, rectangular frame. Appointing the ring with more affordable stones allows us to splurge on the handmade setting, leaving you with a frame as extraordinary as the work of art inside!
