Description
This stunning engagement ring features a marquise cut diamond bezel set in the center and surrounded by a halo of black diamonds, with filigree and hand engraved accents on the band. The design was developed in consultation with a client from Breckenridge, CO, who came to us with a number of specific ideas about what features she wanted to include in her ring.
Read the full description
We took all of the information and examples she shared with us and developed a unique design that she loved. Working with our team, she explored a few different options for tweaking the piece to get in all of the features she wanted. Although she never visited our Bellevue, WA showroom personally, our custom design system ensured that the ring we finally produced for her was just what she was looking for.

Center Diamond and Halo
The diamond in the center of this ring is a 0.74 carat marquise cut stone. It’s bezel set in 14k white gold, and milgrain beading runs all the way around the setting as well, framing it beautifully and adding to the diamond’s sparkle. A halo of black diamonds encircles the center white diamond, and this band is broken in the middle of each side by a round bezel set white diamond. Diamond Engagement Rings
Our client had originally wanted the center diamond to be black, but after discussing the design with her fiance and exploring the various options regarding different types and combinations of stones, she settled on this configuration. The contrast between the black and white diamonds adds wonderful depth to the piece, and it makes for a truly eye-catching display. Halo Engagement Rings
Accent Stones and Band Design
Bezel set peek-a-boo emeralds appear on each ring front, adding a flash of color and bringing a nice balance to the piece. They are integrated into the filigree design that fills the space below the main setting, and this matches the filigree that fills the center of the shank shoulders as well.
Custom hand engraving covers the remainder of the band down to the three-quarter point, and this is lined with milgrain as well, which helps to tie back into the center setting and give the ring a nice sense of completion.
