Esme Lab-Grown Diamond Engagement Ring in 14K Solid Yellow Gold (IGI Certified)
The Esme vintage oval diamond engagement ring centers an IGI-certified lab-grown oval diamond — D color, VVS clarity, ~1.65ct — in an intricately detailed, fairy-core vintage setting with lab-grown diamond accents, in warm solid yellow gold. Old-world romance, modern brilliance: the charm of yesteryear with a certified, sustainable diamond at its heart.
The diamond
The oval center is a genuine lab-grown diamond — chemically, physically, and optically identical to a mined diamond (same carbon structure, same 10 Mohs hardness, same brilliance), grown in a lab and clearly disclosed. It's D color (the top, completely colorless grade) and VVS clarity, and every ring ships with an IGI certificate and unique serial number. To learn more, see our complete guide to lab-grown diamonds, how lab-grown diamonds are made, and IGI vs GIA certification.
The vintage design
Intricate old-world detailing frames the oval diamond — fairy-core vintage aesthetics that read as heirloom romance rather than modern minimalism. In warm yellow gold, the detailing glows like antique filigree in candlelight. A matching wedding band can be custom made to order — message us. See our non-traditional engagement ring guide, then explore more fairy engagement rings and lab-grown diamond engagement rings.
Choose your karat
This ring is solid yellow gold — the metal itself, not plating or vermeil over a base metal. Pick the karat that fits your budget and durability preference. All three are genuine solid gold; the higher the karat, the richer and warmer the gold tone. See our 10K vs 14K vs 18K karat comparison guide for the full breakdown.
The warm gold gives the colorless diamond a rich, vintage-classic glow. Prefer a different color? This design is also available in white or rose gold on request, and can be upgraded to platinum. Whichever karat you choose, the color is permanent — it won't wear off and won't turn your skin green.

Vintage oval diamond engagement ring FAQs
Is the diamond real?
Yes — a genuine lab-grown diamond, chemically and optically identical to a mined diamond, with the same 10 Mohs hardness and brilliance. Real diamond with a lab origin, clearly disclosed — not moissanite or CZ.
What do D color, VVS, and IGI certified mean?
D is the highest color grade — completely colorless. VVS means inclusions are virtually invisible under 10× magnification. IGI is one of the leading diamond grading labs; your certificate documents the stone's exact weight and grades with a unique serial number.
Which karat should I choose?
All three are genuine solid yellow gold. 10K is the hardest and most affordable with a lighter tone; 14K is our most popular for its balance of warm color, durability, and value; 18K has the highest gold content and the richest, warmest tone. See our karat comparison guide for details.
Is there a matching wedding band?
Yes — a matching band can be custom made to order. Message us before or after ordering and we'll design it to nest with the Esme.
Is this real solid yellow gold?
Yes. The ring is solid yellow gold throughout — the metal itself, not plating or vermeil. The color is permanent, won't wear off, and won't turn skin green.
