Product Details
The Monique is crafted entirely from solid 14k gold — not plated, not filled — available in your choice of warm Yellow Gold, bright White Gold, or romantic Rose Gold. Each alloy is durable enough for everyday wear while still feeling delicate and refined on the finger.
This ring features 1/2 ct. tw. of 1.4mm round lab grown white diamonds set in a pave configuration, meaning tiny beads of gold hold each stone flush and close together for a continuous glittering surface. Lab grown diamonds are chemically and optically identical to mined stones — the sparkle is absolutely real.
The pave bypass design means the two diamond-studded bands gracefully overlap and cross at the center rather than meeting in a closed shank — creating an open, sculptural look that's eye-catching from every angle. At just 1.75mm wide, it's slender enough to stack beautifully with other bands or shine perfectly on its own.
The Monique's polished finish gives the gold a mirror-like shine that amplifies the brilliance of the surrounding diamonds. This sleek finish pairs effortlessly with both casual and dressed-up looks, making it as at home with a blazer as it is with a little black dress.
Keep The Monique sparkling by soaking it briefly in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap, then gently scrubbing the pave settings with a soft-bristled toothbrush to lift any buildup. Pat dry with a lint-free cloth and avoid exposing the ring to harsh chemicals, chlorine, or abrasive cleaners, which can dull gold and loosen delicate pave prongs over time.
For the most accurate fit, measure your finger at the end of the day when it's at its largest — ring size can fluctuate with temperature and time of day. Our Rosie Ray Ring Sizer takes the guesswork out of ordering. Find your size.
Before You Buy
The honest answers
Yes — The Monique features 1/2 ct. tw. of real lab grown white diamonds, which are chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds. Lab-grown simply means they were created in a controlled environment rather than extracted from the earth, with no compromise on brilliance or quality.
The pavé bypass design means tiny diamonds are set flush and edge-to-edge along the band, so in person the ring catches light from almost every angle — it reads as a continuous ribbon of sparkle. The polished gold finish amplifies that effect, making it look even more brilliant in natural light than in flat product photos.
14k Yellow Gold gives the most classic, warm look and contrasts beautifully with the white diamonds. 14k White Gold is sleek and modern, making the diamonds nearly disappear into the band. 14k Rose Gold adds a romantic, rosy warmth that flatters a wide range of skin tones — it's our most popular choice for pavé styles like this one.
14k gold is more durable than 18k or 24k because the alloy mix makes it harder, but it can still develop fine surface scratches with daily wear over time. The polished finish can be professionally re-polished to restore its original luster, so everyday wear is totally fine — just remove it for heavy manual work.
14k gold is generally well-tolerated by people with sensitive skin, as the higher alloy content compared to pure gold is balanced with skin-safe metals. If you have a known allergy to nickel, consult your doctor before ordering.
Soak the ring in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap for a few minutes, then gently scrub the pavé settings with a soft toothbrush to dislodge any buildup — lotions and oils are the main culprits that dull diamond sparkle. Rinse thoroughly, pat dry, and avoid ultrasonic cleaners at home, as they can loosen small pavé stones over time.
The Monique is a standard fit, meaning the interior is flat rather than domed — it sits close and secure on the finger, which works beautifully for a delicate 1.75mm band like this. If your fingers tend to swell in heat or after activity, it's worth measuring at different times of day to find the size that feels right across conditions.
Fit matters a lot on a narrow 1.75mm band — even a small variance can affect how it sits on your finger. We recommend taking a few careful measurements before ordering using our Rosie Ray Ring Sizer. Find your size.
