Fewer stones, placed well, can carry a design further than many placed densely. This round shape semi-mount engagement ring proves the point with 8 round cut diamonds carrying weight 1/20 Ctw prong set in a sparing line along the shoulders, leaving clean metal between them. Flush in the band, 6 straight baguette diamonds carrying weight 1/5 Ctw lie level with the surface. The center seat is drawn for a stone of 0.85 Ctw to 1.20 Ctw. A sparser line of side stones gives the metal room to be seen, which suits a two-tone mounting particularly well, since the contrast between the warm and cool sections becomes part of the design rather than a background to it. Crafted in 14 karat yellow and white gold with a rhodium finish over the white gold, it closes with a total weight of 1/4 Ctw.
