A ring like Alexandra Leclerc's: the Durance elongated oval with pavé
Alexandra Leclerc's engagement ring from Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc is an elongated oval solitaire on a thin pavé band. The closest Kove design is the Durance Pavé Solitaire Oval (DDLR-946-OV): the same elongated oval and pavé band, with a stone of about 2.5 ct instead of an estimated 5 to 6 ct. Gold 14k or 18k, diamond lab-grown or natural.
Charles Leclerc announced his engagement to Alexandra Saint Mleux in November 2025 in a joint Instagram post, and they married in Monaco in February 2026. Rapaport reports that jewellers estimate her oval at 5 to 6 ct. The photo shows an oval with no side stones on a thin band of small diamonds in white metal, according to jewellers platinum with four prongs. The Durance Pavé Solitaire Oval has the same build. The difference: a stone of about 2.5 ct.

Why an elongated oval
An elongated oval is about half again as long as it is wide. On the hand it looks larger than a round stone of the same weight and makes the finger look longer. That is why so many brides have chosen it in recent years: elegant, not showy.
With an oval, watch for the so-called bow tie, a darker shadow across the middle of the stone. On the model page you pick from certified stones with a photo, so you see the stone before you order it.
What a pavé band does
Pavé means small diamonds set close together in the band. The Durance has 37 of them at 1.4 mm, running almost all the way around the finger. The band stays thin, so the main stone stands out and the pavé only adds sparkle.
How big a stone
The design is built for an oval of about 11.1 × 7.35 mm, which is about 2.5 ct. The small diamonds in the band weigh about 0.44 ct together.
By jewellers' estimates Alexandra Leclerc's stone is about twice as heavy. If you want a larger stone than the page offers, write to us with the inquiry button at the end of this article.
Lab-grown or natural diamond
Both are real diamonds with the same composition, hardness and brilliance, they differ in origin. Lab-grown stones come with an IGI certificate, natural ones with GIA, and you can check the certificate of your stone online. For the same budget a lab-grown diamond gets you a larger or cleaner stone.
Which metal
According to jewellers her ring is platinum. Closest in colour is 14k or 18k white gold: in white metal the pavé blends with the diamond. In yellow gold the same ring looks warmer.
14k gold (585 fineness) is harder and holds the small pavé stones better in everyday wear. 18k (750) has a richer colour.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it the same ring Alexandra Leclerc wears?
- No. It is a Kove design of its own with the same build: an elongated oval with no side stones on a thin pavé band. The stone is smaller, about 2.5 ct instead of an estimated 5 to 6 ct.
- How many carats is Alexandra Leclerc's ring?
- It has not been published officially. Jewellers quoted by Rapaport estimate it at 5 to 6 ct.
- Does pavé last in everyday wear?
- Yes, the small stones are set in the metal. Choose 14k gold and take the ring off for gardening or the gym, so a knock does not loosen a stone.
- How long does production take?
- Up to 21 business days from the order, often sooner. Shipping within the EU is insured and tracked.
- How much does it cost?
- The "from" price is on the model page of Durance Pavé Solitaire Oval. The final price depends on the stone (size, lab-grown or natural) and the metal (14k or 18k, gold colour). Once you choose them, the page recalculates the price straight away.Durance Pavé Solitaire Oval
