The La Femme Step Cut is a 1.0 ct. step-cut lab diamond teardrop navel ring, for when you want something that's just completely unexpected on a navel.
The size
At 8x5mm, the step cut is made in the size of our largest La Femme teardrops. The stone is just that borderline stand out and not huge. Its teardrop shape runs the length of the navel and perfectly complements a tall and narrow navel, and it works in an oval or T-shaped navel too. On a smaller navel the step cut looks more prominent, and on a larger navel more delicate. Sit down and 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. If you lead a very active life and your navel is wider, the 0.5 ct. pavé teardrop is a smaller stone with 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. Each shape sparkles its own way, and the step cut sparkles in broad sleek flashes of light. Its side stones are lab diamond pavé, set on an angle so the sparkle goes out to the sides. You don't have to try hard to see it.
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 palladium white gold or 950 platinum, both nickel-free, and also in 14k yellow, 14k rose or 18k yellow gold. Our 14k white gold is made with about 13% palladium, a platinum-family metal, instead of nickel, and it needs no rhodium plating. Platinum is naturally white to its core and one of the most hypoallergenic materials. If your skin reacts to 14k white gold, choose platinum. 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
In a deeper navel or on a long piercing, an 8x5mm stone can sink in, and a buried step cut doesn't catch the light. If your anatomy calls for it, we build the setting a touch taller and angle the step cut to face out. The pavé adds just about 1mm total all around, and we allow for it in the fitting. Bar lengths start at 4mm, for piercings that just settle lower, and go up in half sizes to 16mm. On a shallow piercing, we can adjust the curve so the step cut rests well. It is made in 14g, the navel piercing standard, and in 16g (thinner) and 12g (thicker). If you're comfortable, snap a quick pic of your piercing for our Piercing Concierge®. It's 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.
Not sure? Choose "Piercing Concierge®" as your bar length and we'll fit it to you.
How is the La Femme Step Cut fitted to me?
Fitting it to you means more than the bar length. It also means the curve of the bar, how high the stone sits and the angle it faces. If your navel is deep or your piercing is long, an 8x5mm stone can bury, and we can build the setting taller and angle it forward. The pavé adds just about 1mm total all around, and we allow for it in the fitting. 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 $75 USD fee plus any difference in cost. The perfect gift deserves the perfect fit.
Which metal should I choose for the La Femme Step Cut?
Both our white metals are nickel-free. If your skin reacts to 14k white gold, choose platinum: it's one of the most hypoallergenic materials, and it's naturally white to its core. In navel jewelry, platinum only adds under half a gram to the weight, not something you'll feel, and its look and feel are luxurious. Our 14k white gold is made with about 13% palladium, a platinum-family metal, instead of nickel. It needs no rhodium plating, and it polishes like a dream.
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: just 1 to 3 days to the US.
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 step cut is XRF tested in-house right before it ships, and it comes with a Jolie Co certificate of its alloy composition. Not an annual test, not a batch. Yours.
The stone
Your 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 $75 USD 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 $75 USD 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 the US, you won't incur any tariffs. Not at checkout. Not as a surprise invoice later. In most states, there's no sales tax at checkout either, so 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?
At 8x5mm, it can when you stand. It depends on how deep your navel is and how long your piercing is. In a deep navel, it can happen even on a short piercing. At this size, a buried stone points downward and looks off. We can raise the step cut a touch and angle it forward. 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. Day to day, it should be comfortably there as you bend and sit, with room around the bottom of the stone. 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. Bar lengths go down to 4mm, and on a short bar, we set a flatter curve so the step cut rests well in your navel. Choose "Piercing Concierge®" as your bar length, and we'll set the length and the curve together. The fitting and its adjustments are complimentary.
Can I wear the La Femme Step Cut if my navel closes 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? If it 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. If it closes completely, choose a floating navel ring, with the stone at the top of your navel rather than 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 navels does the La Femme Step Cut suit best?
Tall and narrow is the ideal, since its teardrop shape runs the length of the navel, and it works in an oval or T-shaped navel too. It comes down to the height of your navel against the 8mm length of the step cut. If your navel is wider than it is tall, the 0.5 ct. pavé teardrop is shorter, with more room around it. 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. It's an 8x5mm lab diamond teardrop like the 1.0 ct. teardrop, cut differently. A step cut sparkles in broad sleek flashes of light rather than many small ones, and its side stones are lab diamond pavé.

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.
