Emerald Shape Semi-Mount Halo Diamond Engagement Ring

Scaled for a larger emerald cut, this semi-mount halo engagement ring holds its center open for a stone of 1.65 Ctw to 2.35 Ctw. Across the mounting, 48 round cut diamonds are prong set, framing the rectangular center in a close halo and then descending the shoulders in a graduated run. The open settings leave every stone clear on all sides, which keeps the frame bright at its corners where a heavier setting would go dull. A step cut asks for a mounting that respects its lines rather than interrupting them. Corners are where a rectangular halo is most easily got wrong, since every stone has to align with the center's own edges or the frame looks askew, and the precision here is worth a close look. Crafted in 14 karat white gold with a rhodium finish for even reflectivity, it arrives with a total weight of 1/2 Ctw.
