Center Setting
The main setting of this ring rises up from a point on the inner margin of the band, and it opens a space fully between the two shank shoulders as it does so. This leaves a clear view through the center setting from both ring fronts, and the prongs emerge from the top of the band to cradle the one carat round diamond that is the centerpiece of this ring.

Diamond Accents and Band Design
The band is widest right where it meets the center setting, and it tapers smoothly down each side, eventually reaching its narrowest point across the bottom. It’s also thickest at the top, although tapering down in this direction happens more quickly than it does for the width of the top of the band.
On each side of the center, there are six sections of pave set diamond accents that wrap around from the middle of the top across the ring fronts. These sections alternate sides on the way down, and they get progressively smaller moving away from the center due to the narrowing of the band. Diamond Engagement Rings
Customizing Your Piece
There are quite a few ways to modify a ring like this during the customization process. For starters, you could use a princess or radiant cut diamond in the center to accentuate the clean lines found in the pattern on the band. Or you could work in some different colored gemstones in the accent positions. Sapphires are particularly popular for use in this type of ring, and they come in many different shades.
