Marquise Shape Semi-Mount Halo Diamond Engagement Ring

A marquise center placed in warm metal takes on a softer character than the cut usually carries, and this semi-mount halo engagement ring is built around that, the open seat drawn for a stone of 3.65 Ctw to 4.50 Ctw. Across the mounting, 58 round cut diamonds are prong set, forming a halo that follows the outline to both points before descending the shoulders in a graduated line. Every stone is held open on all sides so light enters directly. Increasing the side stone count alongside a larger center keeps the halo proportionate rather than merely enlarged, which is what separates a well drawn family of mountings from a single design scaled up and down. The difference shows across the shoulders. Crafted in rhodium finish 14 karat yellow gold, the ring is finished with a total weight of 3/4 Ctw.
