Monroe Yorke Diamonds

20/10/2026

A cushion cut diamond on its own can read as one heavy square. Put a round brilliant either side and something unexpected happens. The eye reads the whole head as a single long shape instead of three separate stones, and the centre looks bigger, not smaller.

That’s the whole engineering of the Meghan. A GIA certified natural or IGI-graded lab-grown cushion cut centre, with two 0.15 carat round brilliants held in white gold claws either side of it. The white gold claws are not cosmetic. On a yellow or rose gold band, they keep the side stones bright, and the three diamonds read as a continuous line of light.

Three stones have carried the “past, present, future” meaning for a hundred years, which is lovely, but the reason this design actually works has nothing to do with the story. It works because of geometry.

Choose your centre carat and shape (cushion, round, oval, or pear) at Step 2. 14ct or 18ct white, yellow, or rose gold, or 950 platinum. From $2,519 for the setting.

Three stones or one. Which story would you want to wear?

The same ring, from 1 carat to 10.

This is the Angel, our clean oval solitaire built around a single idea. Don’t make the design do the work. Make the stone do the work. A four-claw head cradles the centre diamond and lets every facet catch light. The band is tapered and polished. Nothing else.

Choose your centre carat and the ring scales to it. 1 carat sits around $2,859. 3 carats around $4,879. 5 carats around $8,199. The design is the same. Only the stone grows.

Every Angel centre is a Monroe Yorke Signature Diamond. D colour, VVS2 clarity, ideal cut, IGI individually certified with a laser inscription on the girdle. That’s the top tier of lab grown grading. Nothing above it.

Hand-finished in our Sydney workshop with a lifetime warranty. Six weeks make time. 18ct, 14ct, or 10ct white, yellow, or rose gold, or 950 platinum.

If you could pick any carat from 1 to 10, where would you land?

The Maria doesn’t try to be interesting. That’s the point.

A round brilliant diamond. Four claws. A plain band. No pavé, no halo, no hidden design detail you only see from the side. It’s the shape of engagement ring your grandmother would recognise and that your great-grandchildren will too, because it never changed.

There’s a reason the plain-band solitaire has been the single most-made engagement ring in the world for the last hundred years. It wears without fighting your other jewellery. It photographs the same from any angle. It never clashes with anything. And the stone is doing all the work, so the stone had better be good.

Ours is IGI-graded lab-grown throughout, from 1 carat ($3,295) to 3 carats ($7,195). In 18ct white, yellow, or rose gold, or 950 platinum.

If you could only pick one ring to wear for the rest of your life, would it be the one that tries hardest, or the one that doesn’t need to?

The Alcina is the ring most people land on after they’ve looked at everything else.

They start with a halo. Decide it’s too much. Try a trilogy. Decide it’s too old. Try a hidden halo. Decide it’s beautiful but busy. Try a bezel. Decide it’s too modern. Then they come back to a four-claw oval solitaire and realise the shape they wanted all along was the one with nothing in the way.

This is that ring. An IGI-graded lab-grown oval centre, held in four fine claws on a tapered polished band. No pavé, no halo, no side stones. Just the stone and the finger.

Priced by carat so there’s no mystery. One carat from $2,479. Two carats from $3,479. Three carats from $4,499. In 10ct, 14ct, or 18ct white, yellow, or rose gold.

After all the shopping, what would make you stop?

The marquise cut has the biggest face-up presence of any diamond shape. Carat for carat, there's nothing that covers more of the finger.

Add a halo of smaller diamonds framing the point and the body, and the ring doesn't just look big. It looks engineered to be seen.

The shape itself has a story. In the 1740s, King Louis XV of France commissioned a diamond cut to match the shape of his favourite's smile. The cutter delivered a pointed oval, lengthwise, elegant and sharp. The name stuck. Three hundred years later, it's still the cut you choose when you want a ring that elongates the finger and holds a room at the same time.

This design is a marquise centre held by six fine claws, framed by a hand-set halo of brilliants, on a slim pavé band. We can build it around your centre carat from 1 to 3, in white, yellow, or rose gold, or platinum. GIA certified natural or IGI-graded lab-grown centre.

This specific ring is a design piece. We can make another, built around a centre stone from our range and finished in your choice of metal.

Would you choose a shape that was designed to flatter a smile 300 years ago?

The Capri is not the first engagement ring most people look at. It's the second.

The first ring most people look at is a round brilliant solitaire. Clean, classic, impossible to argue with. People try it on, love it, and then start to feel like it's the ring everyone else has. That feeling is what brings them to a ring like the Capri.

It's a round brilliant too, so the clean classic silhouette stays. But the setting is a two-tone split shank, with white gold claws holding the stone and a yellow gold frame running pavé around it. The round brilliant everyone recognises, held in a setting almost no one else is wearing.

GIA certified natural or IGI-graded lab-grown centre, from 0.5 to 1.6 carats. The setting is engineered around that range because that's where a round brilliant looks most in proportion on this specific design.

14ct or 18ct white, yellow, or rose gold, or 950 platinum. From $4,519.

Would you buy the ring everyone recognises, or the one that makes them look twice?

Our gold chains start their life in the Australian ground and finish it in an Italian workshop. The combination is deliberate.

Australian gold is some of the world's most traceable. Every ounce can be followed from mine to refinery, and the country's mining standards are among the strictest anywhere. It also happens to produce exceptional purity, which is why so much of the world's investment-grade bullion comes out of Perth.

Italian goldsmithing is the global benchmark. The chains in our range are made in Italy by workshops that have been doing this for centuries, and every single one of them is solid gold. Not hollow, not plated. Solid, through and through. A solid gold chain holds its shape, holds its value, and can be repaired decades from now. Most of what the mass market sells is hollow because it's cheaper to make. We don't carry hollow.

Australian gold, Italian craftsmanship, solid throughout. Chains that look premium because they are, not because of marketing.

Available in a range of styles, weights, and lengths, in 9ct, 14ct, and 18ct yellow, white, and rose gold. From the delicate everyday chain to the serious statement piece.

Thin and understated, or thick and seen. Which one is you?
