Picture a classic solitaire where the oval form is lifted on delicate prongs so the light pours through and the subtle pinkish purple color breathes freely. See it framed by a halo of sparkling diamonds to magnify its glow and add a touch of vintage glamour. Consider a bezel setting for someone who loves daily adventures, a warm ring of metal that protects the girdle and lends a modern, clean silhouette. Envision a three stone ring with two tapered side sapphires or diamonds, telling a tale of past, present, and future. Think of split shank designs that cradle the oval like a pair of hands, pavé shoulders that add glittering texture, east west orientations for a playful twist, or ornate filigree and milgrain for heirloom character.
