This beautiful ring is a romantic way to recognize an engagement, anniversary, or any other special occasion. The 14k white gold cathedral-style band is wide with shoulders that branch up to rest right below the diamond’s girdle. These two extensions beyond the band’s diameter give the ring a regal appearance when viewed from the side. The gorgeous centerpiece princess-cut solitaire diamond is held securely in a 4-prong setting and has a 1 carat total weight. The 14k white gold band has a high polish finish and a comfortable fit.
This is a fine quality diamond, with exceptional brilliance. They are near-colorless, with a minimum color rating of H, and appear white to the eye. The clarity rating of these diamonds is Sl1-2, meaning there are small inclusions that can be seen somewhat easily under 10x magnification. These inclusions are not visible to the unaided eye, however, and the diamonds appear clear in the mounting.
The cut, proportions, and symmetry of the diamonds--characteristics which determine their brilliance--are good to very good. Most to nearly all of the light that enters through the table, or top facet, of the diamond will reflect back out, creating the deep brightness, or brilliance, that gives diamonds their special allure. The table percentage for these diamonds, meaning the width of the table compared to the diamond’s total width, is 55-83%, and the depth percentage, or total height of the diamond compared to its total width, is 57-83%. Optimal table and depth percentages maximize a diamond’s ability to reflect and refract light, but they also require a great deal of the diamond to be cut away, leaving less carat weight. While the table and depth percentages here span a slightly broader range than those of higher quality diamonds, they still allow the diamond to handle the light beautifully, and they have the advantage of offering a beautiful balance of size and quality for the value. |
