Deep emotion rests at the core of ring such as this.

If the ring will be worn daily as an engagement ring, the decision comes with a lifetime of commitment and a desire for "the" perfect ring - and this one leaves no doubts.

The dream ring's factual side possesses an impressive center diamond, an old European brilliant-cut of 1.64 carats. Its color of I looks as white as snowfall on fresh ground.

The achievement here is a perfect balance of not too high a color grade yet not too low. Knowing that the price jumps exponentially for higher colors, this I color looks to everyone (except maybe a diamond expert brandishing a loupe), as icy as one would want and its price point, for its size, a true value.

As to clarity, it is also very fine at an SI1. That clarity grade means it requires powerful magnification to even see its tiny internal inclusions and even then takes some searching. The diamond comes with a GIA Certificate.

Accompanying the center are 36 additional old single diamonds with a total weight of .49 carats (H-I color; VS2-SI1 clarity). All are set within a superb platinum mounting.

A noteworthy setting in platinum filigree supports such an elegant cast of diamonds. Crafted with four bow motifs set with diamonds, its details and construction display a masterful creation.

The lines are just right, sloping gradually up the sides and overall forms a shape that is one of the most coveted. A total of 2.13 carats makes the perfect proposal.
