14K Yellow & White Antique Style Ring Setting

This Custom Made Ring Setting is engineered to balance optical performance and wearability, available in fourteen karat rose gold, eighteen karat rose gold, fourteen karat white gold, eighteen karat white gold, fourteen karat yellow gold, eighteen karat yellow gold, Platinum 950, and mixed white and yellow combinations, with center stone options including sapphire, ruby, emerald, and a wide variety of gemstones, and side stones set as round brilliant diamonds. The Lady Diana style within this collection is characterized by a central oval gemstone that may be either a traditional brilliant faceted oval for maximum scintillation, or a mixed cut to emphasize color and depth, surrounded by a substantial halo of prong set diamonds that read as a secondary optical table, increasing apparent spread without sacrificing finger comfort. In technical terms the halo is designed with calculated inner diameter clearance to the oval girdle to preserve the center stone profile, the prong tips are micro-shaped and burnished to minimize light obstruction, and the prong count around the halo is optimized to match the diameter of the chosen round side stones so that crown height, pavilion angle, and halo symmetry maintain consistent light return from crown facets to the observer. Although commonly associated with oval centers, the Lady Diana interpretation in this setting family is not limited to oval shapes, the architecture supports alternative center cuts while retaining the substantial prong set halo, ensuring that the halo stones are placed on a shared geometric plane to produce a unified scintillation pattern.

The halo style in this offering is executed with rigorous attention to faceting relationships and setting geometries, the halo consists of a concentric ring of round brilliant diamonds whose pavilion angles and table sizes are selected to harmonize with the center gemstone crown angles, thus maximizing integrated brilliance. Side stones are round by specification, and they may be set as single prong, shared prong, or tight grain set depending on the chosen aesthetic and practical requirements, with prong shoulders angled and tapered to reduce metal visibility and to avoid light leakage between stones. Technical recommendations for diamond quality are presented to match metals and gemstones, for example D to F color for white metal settings if ultimate colorless presentation is required, and G to H for warmer metal choices such as rose or yellow gold where a subtle warmth complements the alloy. Clarity grades in the SI1 to VS2 range often yield an optimal balance between visual appearance and value, with higher clarity available upon request. The head construction utilizes modern CAD modeling and finite element analysis to ensure ring stiffness and longevity, and manufacturing incorporates lost wax casting for complex under gallery forms followed by precision CNC finishing, laser welding at critical junctions for structural integrity, and final hand setting and polishing by master setters, so that each halo sits concentric, each prong is aligned and burnished, and the finished internal angles of the gallery minimize snagging while preserving the optical corridor beneath the center gem.

The floral style translates botanical motifs into engineered jewelry, featuring petal and leaf silhouettes that are defined by openwork galleries, scalloped bezels, and delicate pavé or prong placements that accentuate the contours of each petal. From a technical perspective the floral variants employ geometry that controls reflection pathways, the petals act as micro-mirrors when faceted correctly, and filigree or millgrain detailing is used to soften transition points between shank and head while adding tactile interest. In these designs the center stone choice and faceting style are critical, for example an emerald cut center provides contrasting linear reflections against a round brilliant petal halo, whereas a cushion or mixed cut may harmonize with curved petal profiles. Craftsmanship techniques blend traditional hand engraving, sawing and chasing for the openwork, with contemporary processes such as direct metal laser sintering for prototype iteration, and precision laser soldering for delicate joins, allowing us to realize intricate leaf veins and petal separations without compromising structural stability. The narrative behind this ring setting is one of layered craft, old and new, where classical gemological principles guide the selection of facet proportions and color grades, and where modern engineering ensures repeatable symmetry and durable comfort. The outcome is a customizable setting that accepts sapphire, ruby, emerald, or bespoke gemstones at its center, complements them with round brilliant diamond side stones, and offers metal choices tailored to color interaction and wearer preference, all finished with meticulous hand setting and final quality control to deliver both a technically superior and emotionally resonant piece.
