Round Shape Semi-Mount Diamond Engagement Ring

Symmetry governs this round shape semi-mount engagement ring, its open center setting sized for a stone of 3.65 Ctw to 4.50 Ctw. Along the shoulders and through the gallery, 20 round cut diamonds are prong set in even succession, each held clear on every side so light enters the stone directly and the line stays bright where the band tapers. The mounting keeps a deliberately restrained profile, built to frame rather than compete with the diamond it will one day hold. The round brilliant remains the most forgiving of center stones, returning light from any direction, and a mounting this clean lets it do exactly that. Everything here is in service of the stone still to come. Crafted in 14 karat white gold and finished with rhodium for a bright, even surface, it closes with a total weight of 1/8 Ctw.
