Oval Shape Semi-Mount Diamond Engagement Ring

An oval center setting gives this semi-mount engagement ring its softened length, the seat left open for a stone of 1.65 Ctw to 2.35 Ctw. Set into the shank, 6 straight baguette diamonds carrying weight 1/5 Ctw sit flush with the metal, their rectangular facets reading as one continuous surface of light. Running beside them, 12 round cut diamonds carrying weight 1/20 Ctw are prong set so each stone stays open to reflection from every side. Rose and white gold combine across the 14 karat mounting, the white gold carrying a rhodium finish. The flush and prong settings work against one another deliberately, one keeping the band smooth and the other lifting the stones into the light, so the shank reads differently depending on how it turns. The ring is completed with a total weight of 1/4 Ctw.
