Princess Shape Semi-Mount Halo Diamond Engagement Ring

A larger princess cut asks for a halo drawn to its corners, and this semi-mount engagement ring provides one, the open seat sized for a stone of 4.50 Ctw to 5.50 Ctw. Through the mounting, 56 round cut diamonds are prong set, forming a square frame around the center before descending the shoulders in a graduated line. Each stone sits in open prongs that allow light in from beneath as well as above. Corners are where a princess cut is most vulnerable, and a well drawn halo protects them as much as it flatters them, surrounding each point with metal and stone rather than leaving it exposed at the edge of the setting. The benefit is practical as well as visual. Crafted in 14 karat white gold with a rhodium finish that keeps the metal cool and reflective, the ring closes with a total weight of 3/4 Ctw.
