A butterfly lab-grown diamond ring is very different from a conventional solitaire engagement ring.
Instead of using one large center diamond, the design creates its visual impact by arranging several fancy-shaped diamonds into a recognizable butterfly silhouette.
MISSISSI currently offers a 2.98 CTW Butterfly Ring formed by two pear-shaped and two marquise-cut lab-grown diamonds, set in 9K white gold.

How Is a Diamond Butterfly Ring Created?
A butterfly motif can be created using fancy-shaped diamonds positioned to resemble wings. In the current MISSISSI design, the main motif uses two pear-shaped diamonds plus two marquise-cut diamonds.

What Does 2.98 CTW Mean?
CTW means carat total weight. In a multi-stone ring, the number refers to the combined weight of the diamonds rather than one single 2.98 carat center stone.
Why Use Pear and Marquise Diamonds Together?
Pear-Shaped Diamonds
Pear cuts combine a rounded end with one pointed tip and bring softness and width to the butterfly motif.
Marquise-Cut Diamonds
Marquise cuts have two pointed ends and create sharper, more directional lines.
Why Symmetry Matters So Much
Because the design is based on recognizable symmetry, the left and right wings should appear balanced in size, angle and brightness.
Do the Pear Diamonds Need to Match Exactly?
They should look closely matched in outline, length-to-width ratio, brightness and face-up size. The same applies to the two marquise diamonds.
Why Diamond Orientation Matters
Fancy-shaped diamonds can look dramatically different depending on orientation. Small changes in angle can make the wings look more open, compact, dramatic or delicate.
Is a Butterfly Ring an Engagement Ring or a Statement Ring?
It can be worn either way, but its strongest identity is as statement jewelry for buyers who prefer a distinctive design rather than a conventional single-center ring.
Does a Multi-Stone Ring Look Larger Than a Solitaire?
It can create more overall visible coverage because the diamonds are distributed over a wider area of the finger.
Why White Gold Works Well for This Design
White metal creates a neutral background around colorless diamonds and helps the prongs and pavé visually blend with the stones.
Is 9K White Gold Suitable for a Diamond Ring?
Yes, depending on the buyer's priorities and the construction of the piece. It can provide practical durability and a lower overall metal cost.
Can the Ring Be Made in 14K or 18K Gold?
A custom version can be discussed in alternative metal specifications. Changing metal may affect price, weight and final CAD.
What About Pavé?
Pavé can extend sparkle beyond the four principal diamonds and visually connect the butterfly motif to the band.
How Comfortable Is a Butterfly Ring?
Comfort depends on the width and height of the complete design. Check overall width, height above the finger, outer-stone position and band thickness.
How Much Does a Butterfly Lab-Grown Diamond Ring Cost?
As of September 30, 2026, the current MISSISSI 2.98 CTW Butterfly Ring in 9K white gold starts at approximately US$1,690.
