Marquise Shape Semi-Mount Halo Diamond Engagement Ring

The marquise has moved in and out of favor for a century and returned again, which says something about how well it wears. This semi-mount halo engagement ring is drawn for one, the center seat left open for a stone of 1.65 Ctw to 2.35 Ctw. Through the mounting, 56 round cut diamonds are prong set, tracing the pointed outline in a halo before flowing into the shoulders in a tapering line. Every stone sits in open metalwork so brilliance enters freely from all directions. The halo follows the outline to both points rather than rounding the frame into an oval, which preserves the cut's signature instead of disguising it. That fidelity to the shape is the mark of a considered setting. Crafted in 14 karat white gold and given a rhodium finish for a bright, even tone, the ring is completed with a total weight of 1/2 Ctw.
