Radiant Yellow Diamond Center
The center of this ring is a 3.50 carat fancy yellow diamond. It is radiant cut and measures 8x10mm. Radiant diamonds have brilliant-cut faceting with clipped corners and a rectangle shape. The color of this unique diamond is particularly vibrant; yellow diamonds can be sourced in all shades with varying levels of lightness and intensity, ranging from "fancy light yellow" to "fancy vivid yellow".

Pavé Setting
The setting holding the yellow diamond is almost entirely covered in pavé diamonds. Pavé is a traditional setting style from France, literally meaning "paved" with diamonds. Not many jewelers can achieve this look because it takes years of experience to master the skill. Using as little metal as possible, melee diamonds are set very close together. Traditionally, there are at least three rows of these tiny diamonds on the setting.
Custom Features
A few features really make this ring unique. First, the shank has a tiny split shank just before the center stone to add a tapering look. A hidden halo resides under the center stone to maximize the light performance, and the bridge under the center stone is set with pavé diamonds to provide a uniform look. Finally, the center stone is held in place by claw prongs: icing on the cake to give an edgy, modern, luxury aesthetic. One of a Kind Engagement Rings
How to Customize
This ring can be customized in many ways. Any shape or color diamond can be set in the center, to start. The band or split shank could be widened, or you could choose to use larger shared-prong set diamonds, instead.
