Marquise Shape Semi-Mount Diamond Engagement Ring

An elongated center seat shapes this marquise semi-mount engagement ring, proportioned for a stone of 1.65 Ctw to 2.35 Ctw. Set into the band, 6 straight baguette diamonds carrying weight 1/5 Ctw lie flush with the metal, their facets holding light in a steady plane. Above them, 14 round cut diamonds carrying weight 1/10 Ctw are prong set with each stone left open on every side so brilliance enters from below as well as above. Yellow and white gold combine across the 14 karat mounting, the white gold given a rhodium finish. Warm and cool metal together also give the ring a practical advantage, since it will sit comfortably beside almost any wedding band the wearer chooses later, whichever tone that turns out to be. It closes with a total weight of 1/4 Ctw.
