The La Femme Step Cut is a 1.0 ct. step-cut lab diamond teardrop navel ring. This step cut diamond is in a different class of diamonds.
The size
The step cut measures 8x5mm, the size of our largest La Femme teardrops, and it has the presence of a large stone. As a teardrop shape, it runs the length of the navel and perfectly complements a tall and narrow navel. It works on an oval or T-shaped navel as well. It looks more prominent in a small navel, and in a larger navel it looks delicate. When you sit, your navel closes in on whatever is inside it. If it closes partway, consider the 0.3 ct. pavé teardrop, which is a 5x3mm stone. It shares its size with the 1.0 ct. teardrop and the 1.0 ct. pavé teardrop, the same 8x5mm teardrop without the step cut. For a very active life and a wider navel, the 0.5 ct. pavé teardrop has more room around it.
The design
Our VAULT setting suspends this 8x5mm step-cut lab diamond teardrop so that it's open on all sides, and light can reach it from every angle. The step cut sparkles in broad sleek flashes of light, and its side stones are pavé-set lab diamonds on an outward angle. To us, the La Femme Step Cut is nicer than any of the other diamond navel rings we sell.
The diamonds
Lab diamonds, D color and VS1 to VVS1 clarity: colorless and near flawless. IGI certification is available upon request.
What it's made of
The 1.0 ct. step cut is made in 14k yellow, 14k rose or 18k yellow gold, and also in 14k palladium white gold or 950 platinum. Each one is solid gold, never plated, and nickel-free. 18k has a higher gold purity. If your skin reacts to 14k yellow or rose gold, choose 18k yellow gold. This navel ring is made in Canada, one at a time, and XRF tested in-house before it ships, with a Jolie Co certificate of its alloy composition.
How we personalize it
Set too low in a deeper navel, a stone this size can bury. If your anatomy calls for it, we raise the step cut a touch and angle it to face out, and with a step cut, light is everything. The pavé adds just about 1mm total all around, and we allow for it in the fitting. We make bar lengths as short as 4mm, because some piercings just settle lower, and in every half size up to 16mm. For a shallow piercing, we can adjust the curve so the stone rests well when you put it on. It's made in 14g, the navel piercing standard, and in 16g or 12g to match the gauge you were pierced at. The fitting takes a few minutes by text with our Piercing Concierge®, private and complimentary, and before you order, we can help you choose your piece. We guarantee the fit when we consult, and if it ever needs a change, the refit is on us.
Giving it as a gift? 10mm in 14 gauge is our standard size, and it fits most piercings. To ensure it's perfectly fitted to your loved one's anatomy, choose "Gift" under the bar length. Our gift package ships the next day, and we make the piece after their fitting.
Versatility
La Femme is made for every piercing: navel, ear and nipple.
04Common questionstap a topic
Ordering
Which bar length do I choose for the La Femme Step Cut?
Most piercings measure 8 to 9mm, which is why 10mm is the standard bar length. We make your jewelry in 14 gauge (14g), the navel piercing standard, and also in 16g, which is thinner, and 12g, which is thicker. Choose the gauge you wear now. Bar lengths come in every half size from 4 to 16mm, starting at 4 because some piercings just settle lower.
If you know your piercing's length (not your current bar length), add 1mm when it's under 8mm. When it's 8 to 10mm, add 1 to 1.5mm. When it's over 10mm, add 1.5 to 2mm.
If you don't know it, measure from the exit hole at the top to the entry hole or the ridge of your navel. The jewelry you wear now is a reference too. If it sticks out or moves around, go a little shorter, and if it presses, go a little longer.
Or choose "Piercing Concierge®" as your bar length, and we'll fit it to you.
How is the La Femme Step Cut fitted to me?
We fit more than the bar length. We also fit the curve of the bar, the height of the stone and the angle it faces. In a deeper navel, an 8x5mm stone can settle in and point down, and we can raise it a touch and angle it forward. If you're comfortable, snap a quick pic of your piercing from the front, and one from the side. Hold a ruler beside it if you can. No ruler? A coin works, just for scale. With just a couple of photos, we can quickly tell how to refine the fit to your anatomy. It's a few-minute chat by text with our Piercing Concierge®, private and complimentary, before you order or after. Choosing Piercing Concierge® doesn't change your ship date.
How do I gift the La Femme Step Cut without knowing the bar length?
10mm in 14 gauge is our standard size, and it fits most piercings. If you want to gift this La Femme Step Cut and ensure it's perfectly fitted to your loved one's anatomy, choose "Gift" under the bar length. Our gift package ships the next day, ready to give, and the jewelry follows their fitting. The package is a gorgeous die-cut purse with a gift card and our proprietary Luna Ruler inside. Your loved one texts our Piercing Concierge® for a complimentary fitting, and we make their custom step cut after that fitting. They have 90 days from your order to exchange it for another style, with a $106 AUD fee plus any difference in cost. The perfect gift deserves the perfect fit.
Which gold should I choose for the La Femme Step Cut?
18k has a higher gold purity. If your skin reacts to 14k yellow or rose gold, choose 18k yellow gold. We make this step cut in platinum and 14k white gold as well. Our 14k yellow, 14k rose and 18k yellow gold are all solid gold, never plated, and nickel-free.
When will the La Femme Step Cut arrive?
Made for you: we make it in about two weeks, ready to ship by Nov 30. Need it by a certain date? Reach out to us so we can plan.
Shipping: up to 5 days to Australia.
Fully insured: if your package goes missing, we'll replace it. You're fully protected, both in transit and after it's delivered. Buy with confidence 😉
What's certified on the La Femme Step Cut?
The metal
Your gold is XRF tested in-house right before your step cut ships, and you receive a Jolie Co certificate of its alloy composition. Not an annual test, not a batch. Yours.
The stone
Your step-cut lab diamond is D color and VS1 to VVS1: colorless and near flawless. IGI certification is available upon request.
Is the La Femme Step Cut covered for life?
Yes. Our lifetime warranty covers manufacturing defects, such as the integrity of the threading, for the life of your jewelry's intended use. It doesn't cover damage from wear and tear or improper use. After years of wear, we can refinish your step cut for a small fee.
What if the La Femme Step Cut doesn't fit?
We guarantee the fit when we consult, and if it ever needs a change, the refit is on us. If you chose your own bar length without a fitting, we can refit it any time for $106 AUD plus shipping. Style not quite right? Have no worries. Within 90 days of your order, your purchase can go toward another style of equal or greater value, plus a $106 AUD fee and any difference in cost. Occasionally a request goes beyond a standard refit, such as adapting your jewelry to a unique anatomy, and that can cost more. We'll always confirm pricing with you first. We don't stop until you're thrilled. Period.
Why don’t you accept returns?
We make everything to order. Whether it appears to be a standard selection or something uniquely yours, our process doesn’t change. Your jewelry doesn’t come off a shelf. It’s made specifically for your order.
Because of that, we can’t accept traditional returns. But you’re not stuck.
If your jewelry doesn’t fit quite right or doesn’t feel the way you imagined, contact us. We’ll work with you to refine it until you’re thrilled to wear it. That’s what makes Jolie Co unique.
Will I pay tariffs on my order?
If you're in Australia, there are no duties or taxes. The price you see is what you pay. Buy with confidence.
Fit · La Femme Step Cut
Why does fit matter so much?
It’s one of those things that’s difficult to appreciate until you experience it.
Most people can’t immediately explain why they love it. They just know it feels right. And once you’ve experienced it, you begin noticing things you never noticed before. A stone that could sit slightly higher. A shape that complements your anatomy better. Small details that suddenly matter.
You start seeing the difference between jewelry that simply fits and jewelry that feels like it belongs. That’s when you understand why we obsess over fit.
Will the 8x5mm step cut bury in my navel?
When you stand, it can happen on a long piercing, or in a deep navel even on a short piercing. A buried 8x5mm step cut points downward and looks off. We can set the step cut a touch higher and tilt it a few degrees, so it points forward and gets seen. And we can adjust the curve of the bar at the base, or even make the whole setting taller. All of this is planned based on your specific anatomy. Choose "Piercing Concierge®" as your bar length for a complimentary fitting. If your navel partly closes or collapses, a smaller stone or a floating navel ring may suit you better.
Can I wear the 8x5mm step cut every day?
Yes, if your navel has the room for it. At the gym and through the day, what matters is the room around the bottom of the stone as you bend and twist. The La Femme Step Cut is a statement piece, but if your anatomy allows, you can wear it to the gym just as easily.
Can I wear the 8x5mm step cut with a shallow piercing?
Yes. For piercings that just settle lower, we make bar lengths as short as 4mm. With a standard curve on a bar that short, the step cut can push out of your navel, and we make the curve a little flatter so it rests well. Choose "Piercing Concierge®" as your bar length, and we'll set the length and the curve together. The fitting and its adjustments are complimentary.
How does the La Femme Step Cut fit when I sit?
How a stone sits comes down to your anatomy, not its size. When you sit, your navel can close in around your jewelry. You may not feel it, but there may be pressure. Use the jewelry you wear now as your guide. While you're sitting, does your navel stay open around it, close partway or close completely? In a navel that stays open, the step cut has room. If it closes partway, you may also consider the 0.5 ct. pavé teardrop at 6x4mm or the 0.3 ct. pavé teardrop at 5x3mm. For a navel that closes completely, a floating navel ring is the choice, with the stone at the top of your navel instead of inside it. Not sure which? Text our Piercing Concierge® a photo of your navel while you're sitting, and we'll help you choose.
Which navel shape suits the La Femme Step Cut?
A tall and narrow navel is the ideal, since the teardrop shape runs top to bottom, and it also suits an oval navel or a T-shape. We have ideals and no hard restrictions. It comes down to the height of your navel against the 8mm stone. If you're comfortable, snap a quick pic of your piercing for our Piercing Concierge®, and we'll start there.
Is the La Femme Step Cut a different diamond from the 1.0 ct. teardrop?
Yes. Both are 8x5mm lab diamond teardrops, and the step cut is a different cut, with broad sleek flashes of light. Its side stones are lab diamond pavé, where the 1.0 ct. teardrop has a mirror-polished wall.

The dome. The charm that sits flush. The vault basket. The Piercing Concierge® — a perfect fit in a few texts. None of these existed until Alyssa. She gets navel anatomy and obsesses over the finest details, like how jewelry wears and feels as you go about your day. Thousands of consultations have taught her how to personalize jewelry in ways most never thought possible. Any design can be beautiful. It only becomes personal once it's fitted to you.

Mirror Polish Check
HAND-FINISHED UNDER THE MICROSCOPE
You don't always know what makes jewelry special. The design draws you in, but you fall for the finishes, the details the eye can't see. Magnified 20 times, even a polish that looks perfect can show scratches, cast marks and dull spots. We work at that magnification from raw cast to final finish, right down to prongs set tight so nothing catches. Before it ships, it's certified to a flawless mirror polish, the kind that makes a stone shine. Most jewelers would call this excessive. We call it exquisite craftsmanship.

Individually Certified

Know exactly what you're wearing. Your jewelry, once finished, is tested on laboratory-grade XRF equipment before it ships. Not an annual sample. Not a random cast batch. Your jewelry certified to show what the metal is made of, down to the trace elements. No nickel. No cadmium. This way you can wear it with confidence.
Fitted. Worn. Loved.
