Setting Description
This most classic solitaire design displays the center diamond with simple grace and elegance. The design is comfortable and secure with a low profile and superb fit on the finger. The top of the band is softly domed, tapering in width toward the back of the finger. Highlighting the center diamond, the band pinches in subtly where it meets the center prongs. The band has a thickness of 1.66mm and a width of 1.92mm. The setting has a highly polished finish, allowing the light to play beautifully upon the contours of the design and reflect the sparkle of the diamond. This setting is made of 14 karat yellow gold, which is a popular and durable precious metal for jewelry. Yellow gold has been a classic choice for many generations of diamond rings, and 14k has a wonderful luster combined with great value. 14k gold is 58.3% pure 24 karat gold, with the remaining percentage usually being alloy metals of silver, copper, nickel, and zinc. The alloys add strength to the pure gold, which would be too soft for everyday wear on its own. 14k yellow gold is very well-suited for a ring that will be worn everyday. As a precious metal, it will naturally patina, or scratch lightly on the surface, but the original bright polished luster can be maintained through an occasional cleaning and polishing.
