Center Setting
At the top of this piece, a round brilliant cut diamond is cradled by four talon prongs that curl around its sides at the compass positions. The placement of the prongs gives the center setting a vaguely star-like quality, and it adds dynamic movement to the design. The prongs stay close to the diamond at the top of the setting, but as they move down, the take a straighter route, leaving the diamond unencumbered and providing a clear view of it from all angles.

Diamond and Milgrain Accents
The shank shoulders hold eight round bright cut set diamond accents each, and these are grouped together to fit within the S shapes running down both sides. Each grouping tucks into one of the curves of an S, and it’s made up of one larger accent diamond and one smaller. The S shapes themselves are highlighted by a line of milgrain beading, which also adds a touch of vintage flair to the design. Vintage Engagement Rings Seattle
Custom Filigree
Below the shank shoulders, each ring front features an elegant curl of hand-made filigree to fill the space leading up to the main setting. This complements the S design on top nicely, and it adds a classy touch to the piece.

The amount the filigree in this piece could be customized is only dependent on the amount of space available, and our design team can work with you to evaluate your options in that regard.
