17 June 2025
Description

This is a 2.8-carat diamond engagement ring featuring a round brilliant-cut center diamond with VS1 clarity and D color, showcasing exceptional sparkle and no visible color or inclusions to the naked eye. The diamond is set in a 14-karat white gold band, as indicated by the “14K” hallmark, in a solitaire setting with four prongs for secure placement and no additional side stones. Maker/Brand: Crafted by Christine Alesia Design, as indicated by the branded velvet box (Specialists in custom design and repairs). No additional brand markings are visible on the ring itself Additional Features: The ring is size 7, with finely detailed craftsmanship, a smooth band, and secure prong settings. The original Christine Alesia Design velvet box is included. Condition: The ring is in excellent condition due to minimal use. Worn for only one month, it shows no visible chips or damage to the diamond, and the prongs are intact. The band has minor surface scratches from that brief wear period but remains structurally sound. Safely stored in a safe for the past year, preserving its quality. The velvet box shows slight wear (e.g., scuffing on edges), consistent with gentle use. No repairs or resizing noted

Dimensions

Diamond Diameter: A 2.8-carat round diamond typically has a diameter of approximately 9.0–9.3 mm. This varies slightly depending on the cut quality (e.g., Excellent, Very Good) and depth percentage. A well-cut stone (e.g., 60–62% depth) leans toward 9.1–9.2 mm. • Diamond Height/Depth: The total depth (from table to culet) is usually about 60–62% of the diameter, so roughly 5.4–5.7 mm for a 9.1–9.2 mm diameter. • Setting Height: The solitaire setting with four prongs likely raises the diamond 2–3 mm above the band, depending on the prong design. This is a standard height for such rings. • Band Width: The 14K white gold band appears narrow in the photos (common for solitaire settings), likely 1.5–2.0 mm wide at the base, tapering slightly toward the top. • Ring Size 7 Circumference: A size 7 ring has an inner circumference of approximately 54.5–55 mm, with an inner diameter of about 17.3–17.5 mm, based on standard U.S. sizing charts.

I assume it's a lab grown (synthetic) diamond as a natural stone would come with a lab certificate like GIA & in which case a retail cost of $50,000 Retail Value and Market Value $20/25,000. Most natural diamonds are mounted in 18ct white gold or platinum
