What this ring is made of

Marquise
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.
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.
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.
