Princess Cut Amethyst Yellow Gold Ring with Halo Set Diamonds

The ring's band doesn't taper or split at the ends and maintains the same width, making it the most basic and common type of ring shank.

The primary gemstone is typically elevated by arches that rise from the band, resembling cathedral architecture. This style can make the centre stone appear larger and more prominent. 

This type of gallery features prongs (or claws) reinforced with a horizontal bar that secures the gemstone in place, creating a 'basket' effect around the gemstone.

The four rounded prongs secure the gemstone while maximizing visibility and reducing the risk of snagging on clothing.

Also known as French pavé, this setting uses tiny, partially split metal beads to secure the gemstones, creating a delicate fishtail appearance. It allows diamonds to sit low in the metal, enhancing their brilliance.

Yellow gold exudes a classic charm ideal for most engagement and wedding rings. It often contains other alloys to achieve its recognisable colour. While it offers a timeless look, it has now become more expensive than even platinum, yet it is softer and can scratch easily, especially in higher karats.

18-karat yellow gold contains 75% pure gold, while its 9k counterpart only contains 37.5% pure gold. The higher the carat, the richer the colour, the more durable and expensive your jewellery will be.

A smooth, shiny surface that reflects light. It's created using abrasive compounds or a polishing wheel to remove imperfections from the metal.
