Description
This stunning engagement ring features a round brilliant cut diamond center, set in lovely yellow gold and surrounded by a modified halo of other diamonds. It was created for a client from Mukilteo, WA, who worked with us both online and in person in our Bellevue, WA showroom until we got all of the details she wanted exactly right.

Solitaire Diamond
The main diamond in this ring is a 0.45 carat round brilliant cut stone, and it’s displayed beautifully in a four prong setting. The sparkle of the diamond contrasts nicely with the warm glow of the yellow gold to give the ring a classic look and feel. A round brilliant cut diamond is a popular and traditional choice for an engagement ring, and this one keeps with that tradition while also adding a unique twist with the modified halo below the center stone.

Modified Halo
The halo here uses both baguette and round diamonds to create almost a starburst pattern around the center stone. These accent diamonds help accentuate the sparkle of the diamond solitaire by reflecting light back up onto it. They also help the piece stand out due to their unconventional configuration, and they’re all held in place with rounded prongs rising up from the basket below.
Design Considerations
Although we made this ring independent of a wedding band, the client already knew she wanted one that would sit flush against the engagement ring. This meant we had to raise the basket up above the shank, which we did. The client also had concerns about the way the shank moved up into the main setting and about the thickness of the band which we were able to address thanks to open communication through the online workroom and adjustments to our 3D proofs.
Whether you’d like to create a ring a lot like this one, or you have a different type of design in mind, our professional team is ready to assist you. We’ll use all of the tools at our disposal to ensure you come away with exactly the piece you’ve always wanted, and we’re happy to work with you online, in person, or both.
