Moval-Cut Diamond Ring with Tulip Petals

Table of Contents

    The tulip setting (we call it the tulip basket) holds your diamond in petals of gold, like a flower holding its bloom. This one is a 6 petal tulip turned east west, built around a moval cut diamond. Here's how Sam's own sketch became his ring.

    Classic Moval Cut Diamond Ring

    A refined moval-cut diamond set in platinum, featuring tulip petal details, a split shank flowing into the setting, and a distinctive northstar design beneath the bridge. Thoughtfully crafted with mixed claw prongs, this design offers a balance of elegance and unique character.

    Featuring:

    • 2.05ct moval-cut diamond

    • D colour, VVS2 clarity

    • Ratio: 1.70

    • 6 tulip petals (east/west orientation)

    • Double claw prongs on corners, single claw prongs on sides

    • Cathedral with split-shank setting

    • Platinum

    At first glance, Sam was instantly captivated by the moval-cut diamond, admired for its graceful elongation and balanced silhouette. Chosen for its exceptional brilliance and ideal characteristics, it became the defining centerpiece of the design.

    Why east west petals on a moval?

    Because a moval has corners worth showing off. Turning the petals east west leaves the top and bottom of the stone open, so you actually see them. The traditional petal layout covers those corners and makes a moval read more like a marquise stone. Small call, big difference.

    The Vision

    With a clear vision in mind, Sam took a personal approach by sketching his own design, capturing every detail he wanted in the ring. His ideas guided the process, from proportions to intricate elements.

    The design sketch that started the moval tulip ring

    At Smiro Studio, we carefully translated his concept into a finished piece, honoring his vision with precision and craftsmanship. The result is a design that feels deeply personal, true to his idea and beautifully realized.

    A north star, just for her

    Sam wanted a connection to her built right into the ring. So beneath the bridge, where only they know to look, we hand engraved a north star. One hundred percent carved by hand.

    We built it in platinum. It's stronger than white gold and holds up better over a lifetime of wear.

    Thinking about a tulip of your own?

    Custom tulip rings start around $4,000 USD and take about 11 weeks from deposit to your door (we quote 10 to 14). If you'd rather not wait, our ready to order 6 petal tulip ships in about eight weeks. Either way, the tulip basket guide is the best place to start, and our moval guide covers ratios and settings.
