The band on this ring splits in two just before it reaches the diamond. The polished gold strands cross over each other, creating a small, open space on either side of the four-prong setting.

A single 0.15 carat round brilliant diamond sits at the centre, held by four simple prongs. The 2mm band has a high polish and splits as it approaches the setting. The two strands then cross, one flowing into the prong base from above, the other from below. This creates a little window of open space on the shoulders of the ring. The whole piece is plated in rhodium for a bright, silvery-white finish.

We make this ring in your choice of solid 14K or 18K white gold. 14K gold is 58.3% pure gold mixed with alloys for strength. 18K is 75% pure gold, making it a bit softer with a richer feel. Both are plated with rhodium, a hard, silvery-white metal from the platinum family, which means it has a bright, reflective colour and an added layer of scratch resistance. You can choose a natural (F/G colour) or lab-grown (E/F colour) diamond, both with VVS/VS clarity.

This is for someone who likes the idea of a classic solitaire but wants a small, modern twist. The split shank is a subtle detail that sets it apart from a standard four-prong ring. It's delicate and low-profile, so it won't catch on things as easily as a larger ring might.
