Sapphire Center and Diamond Halo
At the top of this ring, a three carat oval blue sapphire is cradled in a platinum setting made up of four sets of double talon prongs. These prongs intrude slightly onto the top surface of the stone, adding a hint of contrast as well as some vintage flair to the design. Sapphire Engagement Rings
Surrounding this beautiful stone is a halo of round bright cut set diamonds which are also set in platinum. The halo follows the contours of the center stone, and it angles a bit downward to follow the general curvature of the top of the sapphire as well. Halo Engagement Rings
Two-tone Band Design and Diamond Accents
Although the entire center setting is platinum, the band is made from 18k yellow gold. This begins where the band joins the underside of the halo, and it continues all the way around the bottom to the other side. A yellow gold bridge piece also passes directly below the center sapphire to connect to the two sides of the band, and it’s here that it intersects with the very bottom of the platinum center setting. At that intersection point, a bezel set round diamond sits on each ring front, adding some surprise sparkle to the ring.
Custom Hand Engraving
The entire yellow gold band, on both the top and fronts, is covered with custom hand engraving in an elegant wheat pattern. The exact design is slightly different on the top and ring fronts due to the different amount of space available, but the two are quite complimentary and provide an added vintage flair. This is only reinforced by the milgrain beading that frames the hand engraving, and that also runs along the outer margin of the diamond halo at the top.
