What this ring is made of

Princess
A square brilliant with sharp corners. The corners are the weak point, so princess cuts are normally held with a prong at each one.
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.
Halo
A ring of small diamonds right around the center stone. It makes the center read larger and adds sparkle, but it also adds width and makes the head of the ring busier.
Pavé shoulders
Tiny diamonds set flush into the band, leaving the back of the band plain so it can still be resized.
18k white gold
18k white gold is gold alloyed with white metals, usually plated with rhodium for a bright finish. The plating wears off over the years and is renewed at a jeweler’s, which is a small, routine cost.
