What this ring is made of

Round and pear
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.
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.
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.
