Whether you prefer to meet with us in person in our Bellevue, WA showroom to discuss your ideas, or you’d like to communicate with our team predominantly online, we have the skills and experience to help you produce a piece of heirloom-quality fine jewelry you’ll always cherish.

Center Diamond and Halo
The centerpiece of this ring is a large princess cut diamond prong set in the middle of a contoured halo of round bright cut set diamonds. The halo angles down slightly, and its corners are cropped, which diverges slightly from the perfectly square cut of the stone. The shape of the halo helps reinforce the vintage style, however, and it adds a subtle contrast to the elegant cut of the center diamond. Diamond Engagement Rings
Diamond and Milgrain Accents
Bright cut set diamonds also run all the way around the sides of the halo, and they continue down onto the band. All of the accents in this piece are lined with milgrain beading, which brings some added vintage flair, and the diamonds on the shank extend down to the mid-point on each side.

Customization Options
If you’re interested in modifying this design, you may want to begin by choosing a different color metal such as rose or yellow gold. Both of these can help reinforce the vintage aesthetic of the design by bringing some warmth, and the way they contrast with the brilliant sparkle of the diamonds helps to enhance the beauty of both elements.
Alternately, you could consider using a different type of gemstone, either in the center or in place of the diamond accents on the band. Using colored sapphires or diamonds in any of these positions is a great way to integrate a color or type of gemstone with special meaning to you and your partner, and it can add a nice contrast as well.
