Natural diamonds are formed 150–200km below the Earth's surface under extreme heat and pressure over 1–3 billion years. Each natural diamond is unique — a one-of-a-kind creation of nature. For those who value rarity, tradition, and the knowledge that their diamond is a geological marvel billions of years in the making, a natural diamond is the ultimate choice.

Side stone settings feature smaller diamonds set along the band, adding sparkle and visual interest that draws the eye from the centre stone outward. Popular configurations include pavé, channel-set, and shared-prong designs.
