This custom made ring setting is conceived to showcase a colored center gemstone with refined support from linear diamond accents, and is offered in a full range of precious metals for exacting personalization. The setting is compatible with sapphires, rubies, emeralds, and other fine gemstones, and presents a raised basket and four prong cathedral head that secures the primary gem while allowing light to enter from all directions. Accent stones are baguette cut diamonds set in straight channels along each shoulder, positioned to flank the center stone and to introduce a measured, architectural play of light. The accent stones style places smaller gemstones in deliberate relation to the center gem, enhancing its perceived size and color saturation, and adding linear brilliance that complements both antique inspired proportions and contemporary clean lines. Materials options include 14K rose gold, 18K rose gold, 14K white gold, 18K white gold, 14K yellow gold, 18K yellow gold, platinum 950, 14K white and yellow, 18K white and yellow, 14K yellow and white, 18K yellow and white, and each metal is finished to a high polish that emphasizes the contrast between the warm or cool tone of the mounting and the icy clarity of the baguette diamonds.

The journey from initial sketch to finished ring is methodical and quality driven, beginning with proportion studies and scaled drawings that define prong height, basket depth, and the relationship of each baguette to the center profile. Once the layout is finalized, CAD models are produced to verify fit for the chosen center gemstone and to confirm precise channel dimensions for the straight baguettes. Wax models and castings are inspected under magnification before setting, and skilled setters place each baguette with exacting alignment to preserve the architectural rhythm of the shoulder. Final polishing and, when requested, hand engraving or subtle antiquing is applied to honor the antique design cues while maintaining modern durability. Each finished setting undergoes a final quality check for prong security, stone symmetry, and surface finish, ensuring the ring is prepared to receive a center gem and to perform for years of wear.
