Where this lab-grown diamond sits, on the scales the industry grades by.
D is completely colorless, the first letter of the scale. The common retail standard is F or G.
Every certificate reads VVS1 or VVS2. The two grades above look identical to the eye and sell for roughly twice the price. VS and SI, below, are where most retailers set their standard.
The top of the polish and symmetry scale, and both read Excellent on every certificate.

The light, live
What you’re seeing when it catches the light.
- Brilliancethe white light it returns to your eye
- Firewhite light split into sparks of color
- Scintillationthe flicker of the facets as it moves
This round brilliant carries 57 facets, placed to send the light back to you.
The science of the combination
Four grades, each taken to its physical limit.
- Diamond, the given n = 2.42 · θc ≈ 24.4° light enters, and cannot fall out
- Dispersion, the given nF − nC = 0.044 white light tears into fire
- D color absorption → 0 the spectrum returns whole
- VVS clarity scattering → 0 nothing in the ray’s path
- Excellent polish & symmetry roughness → 0 · Δθ → 0 mirrors true beyond the eye
- Excellent cut 57 facets vs θc built to send light back
- Lab-grown C · sp³ identical lattice, identical light
Past these grades, refinement exists only on paper.
The Design
The band is 2.5mm, two slim strands wound around each other along its length. The pave sits on the upper band and turns with the strands rather than running in a straight row: thirty-six stones, about an eighth of a carat in total, kept fine enough that the band still reads as two strands and not one solid line. The Round brilliant center stone sits above them with no halo and no side stones, held clear so the twist runs underneath it unbroken. The displayed price is the complete ring, center stone and setting together.
The Story of Nara
Wisteria over the lantern rows, an unlogged hill behind
The Basin Floor
The Nara Basin is roughly 300 square kilometers of flat alluvial floor, with the ranges set back at its rim: Ikoma and Kongo west, the Narayama hills north, Ryumon south, and east the Yamato Plateau, lifted along the Kasuga fault scarp. Mount Wakakusa marks that eastern edge at 342 meters, grass rather than forest, its dead growth burned off on the fourth Saturday of each January. None of that relief reaches the middle of the floor; it stands off at the rim with the plain between. This ring keeps its center stone the same way: no halo, nothing set beside it, the small stones kept down on the band.
The Twining Stem
Kasuga Taisha was established in 768 at the foot of Mount Mikasa, with Kasugayama behind it, where hunting and logging have been prohibited since 841, leaving about 300 hectares of forest never cut. Wisteria is the shrine's crest, and its most famous vine, the Sunazuri no Fuji, is named for clusters that hang low enough to brush the sand. Japanese wisteria has no tendrils and nothing that grips. It climbs by growing in a helix, winding clockwise around whatever it climbs, and with age those stems thicken into heavy trunks. This band is built by the same motion, one strand turning around another down the shank.
The Diamond
A Round brilliant is circular in outline, with no long axis and no short axis. It carries a standard facet plan, which most shapes do not: above the girdle, a table, eight bezel facets, eight stars and sixteen upper girdle facets; below it, eight pavilion mains and sixteen lower girdle facets. Fifty-seven in all, or fifty-eight when the pavilion ends in a small flat culet rather than a point. Every center stone we set is lab-grown and IGI-certified, D color, VVS clarity. Those grades describe the center stone only. The pave diamonds are lab-grown as well, held to the same D and VVS standard, and set as a group rather than certified one by one.
The Lantern Rows
The shrine holds over 3,000 lanterns, about 2,000 of stone and about 1,000 of bronze. The bronze ones hang in rows from the buildings; the stone ones stand along the approaches, one after another for the length of the walk up from the park. All of them are lit together twice a year, in early February and in mid August. They line the approaches and they line the edges of the buildings, set in rows that follow the lines of the place. The pave on this ring is set the same way: it follows the line of the twist along the upper band and stops short of the center stone.
The Eight-Sided Hall
Kofuku-ji's northern hall, the Hokuendo, is an octagonal hall and a National Treasure. The building standing now dates to 1210, on a site first built in 721. Eight heavy pillars carry an octagonal interior of eight bays, and an eight-sectioned roof rises from them to a single ornament at the peak: eight around one center, gathered to one point above. The stone this ring is built around is arranged on that same count, eight around one center, gathered to one point below.

Ask us anything
The diamonds
Is a lab-grown diamond actually a diamond?
Yes. A lab-grown diamond is pure crystallized carbon with the same physical, chemical and optical properties as one formed in the earth: the same fire, the same brilliance, the same hardness. It tests as a diamond on a jeweler’s tester, and every Beylora center stone is independently certified, so it is verified, not just promised.
Will anyone be able to tell?
No. To the eye, a lab-grown diamond is indistinguishable from a natural one. They share the same structure and catch light the same way. Telling them apart takes specialized equipment in a gemological laboratory, not a glance across a room.
Are they ethical and conflict-free?
Yes. Your diamond was grown in a lab, not pulled from the earth. No mine, no conflict, and nothing in its history you’d rather not know. For many of the people who choose Beylora, knowing exactly where their diamond came from is part of why it means so much.
What is your diamond quality standard?
Every Beylora center diamond is D color and VVS clarity, with Excellent polish and Excellent symmetry, and on round brilliants an Excellent cut grade as well. D is the highest color grade a diamond can receive, completely colorless. VVS means any inclusions are so slight that a trained grader has to work to find them under ten times magnification, and to your eye there is nothing to see. Your certificate will read VVS1 or VVS2, both inside the VVS band, and VVS2 is the floor we never go below. Excellent is what the report reads for both polish and symmetry.
D is the top of the color scale, and VVS sits high on the clarity scale, above VS and SI where most rings are set. We hold them on every ring, at every carat. Two carats, lab-grown, D color, VVS clarity, Excellent polish and Excellent symmetry, IGI certified: that is not our best ring, that is our smallest one.
Every center stone is hand-selected and checked before it is set, then independently certified by IGI, so the quality is documented, not just described. Your report number is checkable on igi.org.
The small accent diamonds, the pavé along a band or the stones in a hidden halo, are lab-grown too, and held to the same D and VVS standard. Diamonds that small are bought and set as a matched group rather than certified one at a time, so your IGI report is for the center stone, the way it is at every jeweler.
Which laboratory grades your diamonds, and can I check it myself?
Every Beylora center diamond carries its own IGI certificate, graded independently, stone by stone. IGI is independent of us: it has no ownership in Beylora and no stake in whether you buy. It is the laboratory the lab-grown trade grades to, and because the report is issued to the stone rather than to us, you are reading exactly the same grades we did. And your certificate is checkable, not just included: enter its report number on igi.org and IGI itself confirms your stone’s grades. How to read an IGI report.
Why do you show a cut grade on some rings and not others?
Because IGI issues an overall cut grade for round brilliants only. The round is the one shape cut to a fixed formula, so it can be graded against that formula. Fancy shapes have no such formula, so no oval, emerald or pear report carries one. What every report does carry is polish and symmetry, which grade how cleanly the stone was finished and how precisely its facets line up. Ours come back Excellent on both, and we call them what they are.
Your report will show the same thing, which is the point of having one.
The price
Is the price I see really the whole ring, or do costs get added later?
The price you see is the complete ring. The center stone, any accent stones, and the setting are all included together, with nothing added to the ring at checkout or after. We price it this way on purpose: no one should get to checkout and watch the number climb. The only things checkout can add are sales tax and, only if you choose it, $300 Rush delivery. What a complete-ring price includes.
The price seems low for a diamond ring. Is it too good to be true?
It’s a fair question, and the answer is simple: growing a diamond costs a fraction of what it takes to find and mine one, so the same D color, VVS clarity stone reaches you for less, with nothing about the diamond compromised. We did not choose a price and then find a diamond to fit it. We chose the grade first and then built the ring around it. Our rings start at $1,800 for the complete ring, stone and setting together. What a 2 carat lab-grown ring costs.
Can I pay over time?
Yes. Rings finance through Shop Pay Installments in 3, 6, or 12 monthly payments. Most ring plans carry interest; your rate comes from a quick eligibility check that does not affect your credit score (Shop Pay’s full range is 0 to 36% APR, and interest-free split payments apply only to items under $1,000). You’ll see your exact rate and monthly payment at checkout before you commit, and you can pay it off early at any time. Paying over time changes nothing about her ring: we make it with the same care, and it ships complete, never held back waiting on a final payment.
Your ring
How long until I receive my ring?
Each ring is made to order, which takes about 30 days from the day you order to the day it arrives: the time it takes to set your diamond into the metal you chose, made for you rather than pulled from a shelf. If you need it by a certain day, choose Rush at checkout: your ring is made and delivered by express in about 15 days, for $300. A Rush ring is the same ring, made to the same standards; your order simply goes first.
Which metals can I choose from?
Every ring is offered in white gold, yellow gold, and platinum, so you can match the metal to her everyday style. White gold and platinum read cool and bright; yellow gold is warmer and classic. If you’re unsure which she’d love, reach out and we’ll help.
How do I get the ring size right?
If the ring is for your own hand, any jeweler can size you in minutes, or use the measurement chart in our ring sizing guide. Buying it as a surprise? The same guide has three quiet ways to find her size without asking, and conversions from other countries’ sizing systems. Get as close as you can and don’t let it worry you: a size that’s slightly off is a small adjustment, and your first resize comes with $100 from us.
What if it doesn’t fit? Can it be resized?
Yes. If the fit isn’t quite right, the ring can be resized, and we send you $100 toward it at any jeweler you choose, one resize per ring. A trusted local jeweler is usually the quickest. Sizing a surprise is tricky for everyone, so get as close as you can and don’t let it worry you: a size that’s slightly off is a small adjustment, not a mistake. See our policies for the details.
After you order
What if my ring breaks?
If something goes wrong (a bent prong, a loose stone, a worn finish), stop wearing it and email us that day; a loose stone is how a diamond gets lost. Send the ring back and we’ll take care of it. Every Beylora ring carries a lifetime warranty. If a ring arrives damaged or is not what you ordered, we put it right at no cost. See our policies for the full details.
Can I track my order while I wait?
Yes. You can follow your ring the whole way: open Track Order at the bottom of any page, sign in with your email, and your order and its status are right there. Check in as often as you like.
What is your return policy?
If your ring isn’t quite right, you can return it within 30 days of the day it arrives, with a 20% restocking fee deducted from the refund. That fee is for a change of mind: if anything is wrong with the ring when it reaches you, we repair it, replace it, or refund you in full, and no fee is taken. We want you to see it in person, in your own light, before you decide it’s the one. Just reach out and we’ll walk you through it. The full details, including your prepaid return label, are in our refund policy.
How does my ring ship?
Your ring ships within the United States with full tracking, so you can follow it the whole way to your door. Standard shipping is free and fully insured, and your ring arrives about 30 days from the day you order; with Rush at checkout, about 15. We ask for a signature at delivery, so it’s never left sitting on a doorstep.
