Marquise Shape Semi-Mount Diamond Engagement Ring

Two metals give a ring a depth that one alone cannot, and this marquise shape semi-mount engagement ring works that idea across 14 karat yellow and white gold, the white gold carrying a rhodium finish for added contrast. The center seat stays open for a stone of 0.85 Ctw to 1.20 Ctw. Flush in the band, 6 straight baguette diamonds carrying weight 1/5 Ctw sit level with the metal, while 12 round cut diamonds carrying weight 1/20 Ctw are prong set above them in a fine, even line. The pointed silhouette of a marquise asks for a band that stays slender, and the fine scale of the side stones here does exactly that, keeping the shank narrow so the center reads as long as possible on the finger. Nothing in the mounting competes for attention. The ring arrives with a total weight of 1/4 Ctw.
