Cushion Void
A 0.35-carat antique cushion-cut lab diamond at D color, VVS2 clarity — one of three top-grade center stones in the drop — set into negative space between two shanks. The shank parts around the stone, letting the architecture do what a halo usually does. The absence of the metal is the presence of the design.

Care
Solid gold is durable enough for daily wear, including water exposure. For longevity, we recommend removing the ring during high-impact activity (weight training, rock climbing, manual labor) and avoiding direct contact with harsh chemicals including chlorine, bleach, and acidic cleaners. A soft-bristled brush and mild soap in warm water is sufficient for home cleaning. Note: Cushion Void’s claw prongs can catch on fabric; we recommend extra care around knitwear. Complimentary cleaning, polishing, and inspection within the first year of purchase — see our Warranty & Repairs page for full coverage details.
