Honeysuckle: oval halo, rose gold

What this ring is made of

Oval

An elongated brilliant that tends to look larger face-up than a round of the same weight, and the length can make a finger look longer. Some ovals show a darker band across the middle, called a bow-tie, so look at the stone in person or on video.

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 rose gold

18k rose gold gets its pink tint from copper. It is warm and flattering, and the color does not wear off because it runs through the metal.
