What is a salt-and-pepper diamond?

It is a diamond with visible dark and light inclusions rather than a clear white look. Each stone's pattern is unique, so the grey hexagon center will differ somewhat from any photo.

Can I choose a different center stone?

Yes. Capucinne says the design can be made with gemstones of your choosing, and asks that you contact them before purchase to arrange a custom ring.

What metals and ring sizes are offered?

The ring comes in 14k or 18k gold in yellow, white or rose, and in platinum. Sizing follows the US ring size chart, and you pick material and size when ordering.

How wide is the band?

The band is 1.6 mm wide. That is on the slim side, which keeps the cluster comfortable and easy to stack, but it is not a heavy everyday band.

Is it good as an engagement ring?

It can be, if you want something other than a white solitaire. The cluster setting and grey hexagon stone read as a statement, though the slim band and small side stones call for gentler daily wear.

How does it compare with a plain solitaire?

The Meadow gives you several stones and mixed cuts in one cluster, so it looks more detailed and less classic than a single-stone solitaire. A solitaire is simpler to resize and easier to match to a plain wedding band.
