This braid is woven in all 18k yellow gold and platinum. Usually when this braid is woven in two colors, it is split with half ring as one color and the other half as another, but in this design, the colors are intermingled. Todd Alan’s Six Strand Open Weave is a beautiful ring made with six strands of metal that are woven together in a branching, flowing design. The open-basket weave style of this ring creates a beautiful balance between closed and open space, making it both elegant and sophisticated. The ring is available in a variety of metals and sizes, making it a perfect choice for couples looking to make their rings from the same braid. The ring is also a great choice for those who are looking for a mid-sized ring that is not too small or too large. The open-weave design makes the ring feel light and airy, while the sturdy construction ensures that it will last for years to come.

We believe that everyone has the right to choose diamonds that are conflict-free and ethically sourced. We are proud to offer a wide selection of diamonds that meet these standards. We hope that you will choose to purchase your diamonds from us, knowing that you are making a responsible choice.

Lab-Grown Diamonds:

Lab-grown diamonds are not fake diamonds. They are real diamonds that are created in a lab, rather than mined from the earth. They are created by starting with a rough crystal and then using either HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature) or CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) to grow the diamond. Sometimes both methods are used.

One of the great things about lab-grown diamonds is that they are conflict-free. This means that they have not been mined in a way that has caused harm to people or the environment. Additionally, all lab-grown diamonds are VS quality or above, and F+ color. This means that they are very clear and have a high color grade.
