What this ring is made of

Pear
A teardrop with one point. Worn with the point toward the fingertip it lengthens the hand. The point is the most fragile part of the stone, so pears are usually protected there with a prong or a V-shaped tip.
Prongs
Small metal claws hold the stone from above. They let in the most light and show the most of the stone, and they should be checked by a jeweler every year or so.
Hidden halo
A ring of small diamonds set under the center stone, visible from the side but not from above. From the top it looks like a plain solitaire.
Pavé shoulders
Tiny diamonds set flush into the band, leaving the back of the band plain so it can still be resized.
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.
