Oval Halo Criss-Cross Engagement Ring Setting in 14K White Gold

This engagement ring setting from A. Jaffe is crafted in 14K white gold and designed around an oval halo. The halo frames the center opening with a continuous line of natural round diamonds, while the shoulders cross over one another in a criss-cross motif that carries the diamond work down both sides of the band.

The accent diamonds total 0.55 carats and are set in French pavé. In this style, the metal beneath each stone is cut away in a small V, so light reaches the diamonds from below and the row reads as a clean, continuous line rather than a series of individual settings.

The piece is sold as a mounting, ready to be completed with a center stone of your choosing. The oval halo is shaped to sit close to the finger, and the crossover shoulders give the ring a sense of movement from the side view. White gold keeps the focus on the diamonds and pairs easily with other white metals.
