What is a shield-cut diamond?

It is a elongated, geometric cut with a flat top edge and pointed base, closer to a kite or shield outline than a round. The Keira uses one measuring 10x4.65 mm, so it reads long and narrow on the finger.

Is a VVS lab diamond good?

VVS means very, very slightly included, so inclusions are hard to see even under magnification. That is a high clarity grade for a center stone and leaves little to fault with the naked eye.

Can I get it in white gold or platinum?

Yes. The design is offered in 14k and 18k gold in yellow, white or rose, and in platinum. The ready-to-ship piece is 14k yellow gold in US size 7.5.

Can the center stone be changed?

Capucinne says the design can be made with gemstones of your choosing. You need to contact them before buying to arrange a custom stone.
