Cushion Tanzanite Diamond Halo Split Shank Ring in 18K White Gold

This gemstone engagement ring centers a cushion-cut tanzanite of 2.79 carats, held within a halo of round natural diamonds. The halo follows the outline of the cushion, so the frame reads as a soft square and keeps the violet-blue of the tanzanite at the center of attention.

The shank splits as it approaches the center, creating two slim bands of 18K white gold that carry round diamonds along the shoulders. Together the halo and shoulders account for 0.51 ctw of natural diamonds. The split shank adds width where the ring meets the hand and leaves open negative space on either side of the halo, which gives the center stone additional height on the finger.

White gold suits the cool tone of tanzanite, keeping the color clear rather than warming it. The piece wears as an engagement ring or as a ring for a right hand, and it pairs with a plain band if you prefer a stacked look. Tanzanite is softer than diamond, so remove the ring during manual work and store it apart from harder stones.
