The diamonds on the band aren't just set into the gold. We cut away tiny V-shapes of metal on each side, so light can hit the stones from every angle. It creates an almost continuous line of sparkle up the side of your finger.

A square princess-cut diamond sits at the centre, lifted high by four corner prongs. It's a clean, geometric shape. The band is polished white gold, about 2 mm wide, and lined with a single row of 40 small, round diamonds that go halfway around. From the side, you can see how each little diamond is held in a tiny U-shaped cradle, which is a French pavé setting.

We make this ring from solid 14K or 18K gold. We use 14K gold for a lot of our rings because it's 58.3% pure gold, but the other alloys give it the strength needed for a lifetime of wear. To get that bright, mirror-like white colour, we plate the gold with rhodium. Rhodium is a hard, silvery metal from the platinum family, which means it helps protect against scratches and won't tarnish. The forty small diamonds are all round brilliant cuts, chosen for their sparkle.

People pick this ring for the pavé. Specifically, the French pavé. By cutting away the metal on the sides of the small diamonds, we let in way more light than other setting styles. You get a band that looks like it's made almost entirely of sparkle, drawing your eye right to the centre stone.
