What this ring is made of

Marquise, set east-west
Long and pointed at both ends, with one of the largest face-up spreads for its weight. The two points are vulnerable and need prongs or a protective tip, and the shape can show a bow-tie like an oval.
East-west
The stone lies across the finger instead of along it, which gives a wider, lower look and suits long shapes like ovals, marquises and emerald cuts.
Bezel
A smooth rim of metal wraps the whole stone. It is the most secure and the lowest setting, with nothing to catch on knitwear or hair, though it covers a little of the stone’s edge.
18k yellow gold
18k yellow gold is 75% pure gold, so the color is rich and warm. It is softer than 14k, which means it scratches a little more easily and can wear at the prongs sooner.
