Shai
an emerald cut, held in a compass of light
The story
Shai was created for someone who wanted presence without pretense, a ring that feels quietly bold, sculptural and deeply considered. The 3ct emerald-cut diamond at the centre has a calm, architectural beauty; long, clean facets that reflect light in slow flashes rather than glitter.
To honour that character, the stone is set in warm 18k yellow gold, lifted just enough from the band to breathe, with a hidden halo and pavé shoulders that add light without disturbing the simplicity. The overall feeling is confident, modern and enduring.
Design details
3ct emerald-cut centre diamond
Long, mirrored facets; cut corners; a strong, graphic silhouette that flatters the finger.Compass-style setting
Four refined claws at the north, south, east and west points of the stone, deliberately exposing the cut corners and celebrating the emerald cut’s geometry.Hidden diamond halo
A fine ring of pavé diamonds tucked beneath the centre stone, out of direct sight from above but catching light from every angle as the hand moves.Pavé-set shoulders
Round brilliant diamonds along the slim 18k yellow-gold band, creating a delicate, continuous line of sparkle that leads the eye straight to the centre stone.18k yellow-gold band and setting
Warm, rich metal that frames the diamond and gives the ring a contemporary yet timeless character.Low profile for wearability
The head is designed to sit close to the finger, making the ring comfortable, secure and easy to wear every day, despite the generous 3ct centre.
Craftsmanship
Shai is all about precision and proportion:
The emerald cut is oriented and set so that each corner is perfectly revealed within the compass claws.
The hidden halo is engineered to sit neatly under the stone, with each tiny diamond aligned under magnification for a smooth, uninterrupted circle of light.
Pavé along the shoulders is bead-set with care so the band feels smooth to the touch and visually seamless.
The low setting height is carefully judged: enough air and light beneath the diamond to keep it bright, but low enough for day-to-day ease.
The result is a ring that feels as considered on the inside as it looks from the outside, serious craftsmanship, quietly expressed.
Why Shai stands out
Architectural elegance: the emerald cut + compass setting give strong, graphic lines without feeling harsh.
Warm modern luxury: 18k yellow gold brings softness and depth to the clean geometry.
Secret sparkle: the hidden halo is a private detail, glowing from beneath rather than shouting from above.
Designed to be lived in: a low profile and slim pavé band make it easy to wear every day while still feeling like a true statement piece.
