What this ring is made of

Round
The classic brilliant cut, and the shape that returns the most light. It hides the least and costs the most per carat, because more of the rough stone is lost in cutting it.
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.
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.
