Why You'll Love It

The Draven Square Diamond Band is the most commanding piece in our collection — a 5.5mm solid 14K gold band set with 1.00 ctw of princess cut lab-grown diamonds, flush-set across the face of the band in a continuous, evenly spaced row. The princess cut is the most geometric of all diamond shapes: its perfectly square form and cross-facet pattern produce a brilliance that is angular, directional, and unmistakably modern. Flush-set into the surface of the gold, each stone sits perfectly level with the band — no prongs, no elevation, no vulnerability. The result is a band that is simultaneously the most diamond-forward and the most wearable piece we make: the stones are protected completely by the surrounding gold, yet they catch light from every angle with every movement of the hand.

Why Princess Cut?

The princess cut is the most modern diamond shape — and the most geometric. Its perfectly square form and cross-facet pattern produce a brilliance that is more angular and directional than a round brilliant, with flashes of light that move with the hand rather than radiating in all directions. In a flush setting on a wedding band, the princess cut's square form creates a clean, grid-like pattern across the face of the band — each stone a perfect square of light, evenly spaced, perfectly aligned. It is a band that reads as architectural from a distance and reveals extraordinary diamond quality up close.

Why Flush Setting?

The flush setting — also called a gypsy or burnish setting — is the most protective diamond setting in fine jewelry. Each stone is set into a precisely drilled seat in the gold, then the surrounding metal is burnished over the girdle of the stone, locking it in place with no exposed prongs or elevated settings. The result is a band where the diamonds are completely protected by the surrounding gold, yet fully visible from above. For a daily-wear wedding band, the flush setting is the only setting that makes complete sense: the stones cannot snag, cannot loosen from prong wear, and cannot be damaged by impact. The Draven is a diamond band built to be worn every day, for decades, without anxiety.

Our Story

In our Queens atelier, the Draven was designed for the person who wants diamonds in their wedding band but refuses to compromise on wearability. Every other diamond band we considered had prongs — elevated settings that catch on fabric, loosen over time, and require regular maintenance. The Draven has none of that. Its princess cut diamonds are set flush into the gold, protected on all four sides, level with the surface, and completely secure. The beveled edges were added to give the band a sense of weight and presence without increasing the width — a subtle architectural detail that elevates the entire piece. Named for the Old English word for one who endures — the Draven is a band built to last.

Styling Notes

The Draven is most powerful worn alone — the row of princess cut diamonds commands the finger completely. As a wedding band, it pairs beautifully with any solitaire engagement ring in our bezel collection: the Draven's flush-set squares create a rich dialogue with the clean, continuous gold of a bezel setting. In white gold, the princess cut diamonds appear icy and brilliant against the cool metal — the most classic diamond band aesthetic. In yellow gold, the warm metal gives the stones a rich, vintage-adjacent depth. In rose gold, the contrast between the warm metal and the cool geometric stones is striking and deeply modern.
