What this ring is made of

Emerald
A rectangular step cut with long, straight facets. It flashes light in broad bands rather than sparkling, and it shows clarity clearly, so the quality of the stone matters more than with a brilliant cut.
Paired prongs
Each corner is held by two claws instead of one. It looks more architectural and gives the corners extra protection.
Bypass band
The two ends of the band slip past each other instead of meeting, so the stone appears to float between them.
Platinum
Platinum is naturally white, dense and hard-wearing, and it does not need replating. It costs more than white gold and picks up a soft, frosted patina over time that some people love and others polish away.
