What this ring is made of

Emerald and oval
A rectangular step cut with long, straight facets. It flashes light in broad bands rather than sparkling, and it shows clarity clearly, so the quality of the stone matters more than with a brilliant cut.
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.
Platinum
Platinum is naturally white, dense and hard-wearing, and it does not need replating. It costs more than white gold and picks up a soft, frosted patina over time that some people love and others polish away.
