Platinum Channel Set Round Brilliant Diamond Engagement Ring Setting (3/8 ct tw, I, I1)

Setting Description
This dramatic setting with ten brilliant round sidestones will beautifully highlight your center diamond. Two diamonds are set into prongs, one on either side of the center diamond. These generous diamonds are larger than the eight round diamonds surrounding them. Set four on each side, these sidestones are channel-set into the band. The effect is that the larger diamonds provide a seamlessly sparkling transition from the center diamond to the band. In profile, the prongs that hold the larger diamonds sit higher than the band, with graceful curving gallery work beneath the stones. The channel holds the accent diamonds securely flush with the top edge of the band, which is softly squared and has a thickness of 1.8mm and a width of 2.7mm. The metal is polished to a bright mirror finish that enhances the brilliance of the diamonds.

The diamonds in the setting are a minimum of I in color, I1 in clarity. Since the diamonds are in the near-colorless range, they should appear beautifully white in the setting. This color should blend well with the color of the center diamond, particularly diamonds with an F to J color grade. A center diamond with a D or E color grade may show a slight color difference to the I color diamonds in this setting, but it should not be very noticeable to the casual observer. The I1 clarity grade means that it might be possible to see the internal inclusions in the diamonds with the unaided eye, but it is unlikely that the inclusions would be seen with the diamonds mounted in the setting. The diamonds are well cut, with proportions and polish designed to capture the light and sparkle beautifully in the setting.

This setting is made of platinum, a beautiful and popular precious metal for diamond jewelry. This pure white metal is the ultimate complement to the clear brilliance of diamonds. Platinum is typically 90 to 95% pure platinum, with the remaining percentage being alloys of other platinum group metals such as iridium and ruthenium for surface strength. Platinum does not splinter or wear away easily, making it the most durable choice for everyday wear. It is valued for its extreme rarity and incredible luster. As a precious metal, platinum will naturally patina, or scratch lightly on the surface, but the original bright polished luster can be maintained through an occasional cleaning and polishing.
