Product Details
The Brooklyn is crafted entirely from solid 14k Yellow, White, or Rose Gold, or Platinum — no base metal fillers, no plating, no shortcuts. The 2mm band is pure precious metal through and through, so it holds its integrity and its beauty for the long haul.
The centerpiece is a 1.2–1.8 ct kite cut natural salt and pepper diamond — chosen for its moody inclusions and silvery, smoky character that no two stones share exactly. Because salt and pepper diamonds are inherently one-of-a-kind, slight variations in color, pattern, and shape are part of what makes yours yours.
The band carries a polished finish that gives it a clean, mirror-like gleam — a sleek contrast to the raw, organic beauty of the salt and pepper diamond. That pairing of refined metal and unconventional stone is exactly the kind of quiet contradiction this ring is built on.
The Brooklyn is standard fit, meaning the inside of the band is flat to sit flush and snugly without discomfort. It's the kind of ring you put on in the morning and genuinely forget you're wearing — until someone asks about it.
Keep your salt and pepper diamond sparkling by soaking the ring briefly in warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap, then gently scrubbing with a soft toothbrush. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, as the natural inclusions in salt and pepper diamonds can make them more sensitive to intense vibration — gentle is always the right move here.
A well-fitting ring should slide over the knuckle with a little resistance and sit comfortably without spinning. Since The Brooklyn is a slender 2mm band, getting your measurement right matters — take a moment to find your size before you order.
Before You Buy
The honest answers
Yes, completely. The salt and pepper diamond in The Brooklyn is a genuine, earth mined natural diamond — the dark speckles and smoky tones are real inclusions formed over billions of years, not treatments or enhancements. That's exactly what makes each stone one-of-a-kind and entirely unrepeatable.
The metal and kite cut silhouette will match closely, but the diamond itself will be uniquely yours — salt and pepper stones vary in their pattern of dark and light inclusions, opacity, and character from stone to stone. Think of it as a feature, not a flaw: no two are identical, which is kind of the whole point.
Yellow gold leans warm and vintage; rose gold is soft and romantic; white gold gives a modern, cooler contrast against the salt and pepper diamond; platinum is the most durable and naturally white option with a subtle weight you'll notice on your finger. If you want the stone to be the undisputed star, white gold or platinum let those moody inclusions really pop.
Solid precious metal — no hollow fill, no plating — means the band ages rather than degrades. Platinum is the hardest of the four options and resists scratching especially well, while 14k gold is alloyed for strength and holds up beautifully to daily life. A 2mm width is delicate by design, so removing it during heavy manual work is always a smart habit.
The polished band creates a striking contrast — sleek and refined metal alongside the moody, raw character of the salt and pepper diamond. In person, that pairing feels intentional and editorial, not precious or fussy. It's a ring that reads cool rather than traditional.
14k gold and platinum are both excellent choices for sensitive skin. Platinum is hypoallergenic and pure by nature. 14k gold is alloyed, so if you have a known nickel sensitivity, consult your doctor before ordering. Rose gold typically uses copper, while white gold alloys vary by maker.
Soak the ring for a few minutes in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap, then gently scrub around the diamond with a soft toothbrush and rinse thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, and ultrasonic cleaners, which can loosen stone settings over time. A quick clean every couple of weeks keeps the diamond's character looking its sharpest.
Getting the size right before ordering is worth the extra few minutes — ring size can fluctuate with temperature, time of day, and other factors. Use our Rosie Ray Ring Sizer to measure accurately: Find your size.
