1.80 GIA Oval Step Cut Diamond Engagement Ring 14k

This solitaire engagement ring features a GIA-certified 1.80 carat oval step cut diamond with VS2 clarity and M color, set in 14 karat yellow gold. The step cut creates parallel rows of facets that produce long, clean flashes of light rather than the sparkle of brilliant cuts, emphasizing the diamond's clarity and giving it a hall-of-mirrors effect.

M color means the diamond has noticeable warmth—a light yellow tint that's visible to the eye, though the yellow gold setting helps the stone blend rather than contrast. VS2 clarity indicates very small inclusions that are difficult to see without magnification, keeping the stone eye-clean in most cases.

The diamond sits in a collet setting with a low profile, keeping it close to the hand for practical everyday wear, and the 1.7mm band provides a delicate frame. Filigree details add decorative openwork to the mounting.
