Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

In this elegant setting, ten well-matched round diamonds are channel-set with five diamonds on either side of the center stone. The minimum total weight for the setting is 0.48 carat. The channel setting is great for everyday wear, as it holds the diamonds flush and secure without sharp edges or points. In profile, the sides of the setting rise up to meet the center diamond in a cathedral style which somewhat protects the center stone and provides an integrated look. When the setting is on the finger, the diamonds sparkle from one side of the setting to the other, with the effect that you see only diamonds, not the metal of the band itself. The metal is highly polished to a mirror finish and the edges of the band are a softened square in profile. The setting has a substantial feel, with the band tapering towards the back for comfort. This setting complements the center diamond with clean lines and beautiful sparkle.

The diamonds in the setting are a minimum of I in color, I1 in clarity. The diamonds are in the near-colorless range, so they should appear beautifully white in color in the setting. This color grade 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.

This setting is made of 14k yellow gold, which is a popular and durable precious metal for jewelry. Yellow gold has been a classic choice for many generations of diamond rings, and 14k has a wonderful luster combined with great value. 14k yellow gold is very well-suited for a ring that will be worn everyday. As a precious metal, it will naturally patina, or scratch lightly on the surface, but the original bright polished luster can be maintained through an occasional cleaning and polishing.
