Description
The Kitty is a statement of pure, uncompromising brilliance. This Ready to Wear solitaire features a 2.56ct round brilliant cut lab-grown diamond — D colour, VS1 clarity, IGI certified — set in a clean four-claw solitaire in 18ct yellow gold. No distractions, no embellishment. Just one of the finest diamond specifications available, in the most enduring ring design ever created.
At 2.56 carats, this is a diamond that announces itself. Measuring 8.81mm x 8.85mm in diameter, it sits on the finger with a presence that is immediately, unmistakably impressive — large enough to command attention, refined enough to wear every single day. The round brilliant cut, with its 58 perfectly aligned facets, is the most brilliant diamond shape in existence, engineered to return the maximum amount of light to the eye in an intense, captivating display of fire and sparkle.
D colour is the highest grade on the international diamond colour scale — completely colourless, with exceptional light transmission that amplifies the round brilliant’s natural brilliance to its absolute peak. At VS1 clarity, the stone is entirely eye-clean, with no inclusions visible to the naked eye under any conditions. The combination of D colour, VS1 clarity, and 2.56 carats is an exceptional specification by any measure.
As an IGI certified lab-grown diamond, this stone is chemically, physically, and optically identical to a natural diamond — graded and certified to exactly the same standards, with the same Mohs 10 hardness, the same atomic structure, and the same breathtaking brilliance. The only difference is the price. A natural D VS1 round brilliant of 2.56 carats would cost significantly more. This ring makes that specification a reality, in stock, today.
The Kitty’s slim 2.30mm band keeps the design pure and architectural, directing every eye straight to the diamond. Finished inside with the Alan Bick hallmark (750), confirming its 18ct yellow gold purity, it sits flush against any wedding band — including the 2mm court band as shown — for a seamless and elegant bridal pairing.
