Round Shape Semi-Mount Diamond Engagement Ring

A round center asks nothing of its setting but balance, and this two-tone semi-mount engagement ring provides it simply, the open seat drawn for a stone of 0.85 Ctw to 1.20 Ctw. Along the shoulders, 12 round cut diamonds are prong set in an even line that reads the same whichever way the hand turns. Every stone is left open on each side so light enters the pavilion directly. Simplicity carries its own risk, since there is nothing to distract from the proportions, and the balance struck here between band and seat is what makes it work. Proportion is the only ornament a ring this plain requires. Built in 14 karat yellow and white gold with a rhodium finish on the white gold, it closes with a total weight of 1/20 Ctw.
