What this ring is made of

Marquise and pear
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.
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.
Split band
The band divides into two arms as it reaches the stone. It makes the top of the ring look wider and more intricate without making the stone itself bigger.
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.
