A Ring That Grows With You
The Madeline Oval Engagement Ring isn’t just made to sparkle — it’s made to evolve with your story. With her elongated 3.5ct oval lab-grown diamond and signature hammered halo, Madeline was designed for the woman who craves effortless elegance with a soulful, artisan twist.
This ring shines beautifully on her own, but she’s even more radiant in a stack — a symbol of how love deepens, expands, and becomes more beautiful over time.
Where Timeless Meets Handcrafted
The Madeline’s silhouette is inspired by the grace of vintage solitaires but reimagined through an organic lens. Each ring is handcrafted in recycled gold, shaped and hammered by hand in our coastal North Carolina studio.
Our hammered halo — a Melissa Tyson Designs signature — softly reflects light in every direction, giving the piece a natural, ocean-swept glow. No two halos are ever exactly alike, making every Madeline ring one-of-a-kind.
This handcrafted process transforms recycled gold into something living and soulful — an heirloom made not just for beauty, but for meaning.
The Oval Diamond: Modern, Elegant, and Inherently Romantic
The elongated oval cut is beloved for its graceful proportions and captivating sparkle. It creates the illusion of length on the finger while maintaining a timeless, feminine feel.
We chose a 3.5ct lab-grown diamond for Madeline — not only for its brilliance, but for its ethics. Lab-grown diamonds offer the same fire, durability, and structure as mined diamonds, but with a lighter environmental footprint.
It’s beauty without compromise — modern luxury for the conscious bride.
Designed for the Stack
Madeline was intentionally created to play well with others. Her low-profile setting and hammered halo make her perfect for stacking — from textured gold bands to diamond eternity rings.
She’s the heart of a ring stack that grows and transforms with your love. Whether it’s your wedding band, anniversary ring, or a symbolic milestone piece, each addition adds another layer of your shared story.
Popular stacking companions for Madeline include:
-
Hammered gold wedding bands — organic texture meets timeless beauty
-
Diamond contour bands — shaped to nestle perfectly around the halo
-
Mixed metal stacks — combine rose, yellow, and white gold for a free-spirited contrast
Sustainable from the Start
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we create. The Madeline is crafted using recycled 14k or 18k gold, responsibly sourced from existing materials — no new mining required.
Every stone we use — whether lab-grown, natural, or moissanite — is selected with care to align with your values and your vision.
Each ring is made to order, so nothing goes to waste. Every detail is intentionally chosen for you.
