The Embrace of Aphorodite | Classic Halo Engagement Ring
Not sure where to begin? Book a consultation and we’ll guide you to the perfect ring.
The Embrace of Aphrodite is a radiant celebration of romance, inspired by the goddess of love herself. At its centre, a brilliant diamond, available as either a natural or lab grown stone, is wrapped in a luminous halo of pavé-set diamonds, echoing the feeling of being held, seen, and adored. The diamond-set shoulders guide the eye to the heart of the ring, creating a cascade of light that shimmers with every movement.
Crafted exclusively in 18k yellow gold, this piece combines timeless warmth with celestial sparkle. Designed for the romantics at heart, it’s a ring that doesn’t just symbolise love, it feels like it.
Choosing a lab grown diamond offers the same dazzling beauty as a mined stone, with greater transparency and a lighter footprint. Ethically created and optically identical to natural diamonds, it’s the modern choice for lasting love.
The Embrace of Aphrodite is perfect for those who love deeply, dream boldly, and want their ring to reflect both emotion and intention.
