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.
Cathedral shoulders
Arches rise from the band to cradle the stone, lifting it and framing it from the side. They add height, so check how the ring sits against a glove or a coat sleeve.
Milgrain
A row of tiny beads along the edges. It is the detail that makes a ring look antique, and it softens the line where metal meets stone.
14k yellow gold
14k yellow gold is 58% pure gold. It is harder than 18k, so it resists scratches and bending better, and the color is slightly paler.
