Round Shape Semi-Mount Halo Diamond Engagement Ring

White metal is the most neutral ground available beneath a diamond, letting the stone's own color show without interference. This round shape semi-mount halo engagement ring takes that approach throughout, leaving its center open for a stone of 0.85 Ctw to 1.20 Ctw and setting 45 round cut diamonds in prong settings around it, first as a halo and then along the shoulders in a narrowing line. Each is left open so light enters directly. Rhodium is not only cosmetic here, since it gives the white gold a harder outer surface and helps the ring hold its brightness through years of constant wear. On a ring rarely taken off, that matters. Crafted in 14 karat white gold with a rhodium finish for added brightness and durability, it closes with a total weight of 1/2 Ctw.
