The tradition of the six-prong solitaire
The six-prong setting first appeared in the late 19th century to meet a specific technical requirement. It raises the gemstone above the band to free up the pavilion and maximise the flow of light. This second-hand ring is part of this heritage. It features a central lab-grown diamond weighing 0.50 carats. The brilliant cut ensures balanced geometric proportions. The piece is crafted from 18-carat white gold.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The design of this piece centres on a central setting designed to showcase the stone. The corolla-style setting uses six straight prongs to secure the lab-grown diamond to its base. This design protects the gem’s cladding whilst allowing light to pass through the facets. The band tapers towards the ring head to emphasise the volume of the central stone. The metal has a uniform mirror-polished finish.
Why choose this second-hand solitaire
Purchasing this pre-owned piece of jewellery is a wise decision. This choice allows you to enjoy a half-carat stone and an 18-carat gold setting, whilst keeping costs under control. The lab-grown diamond offers optical characteristics identical to those of naturally mined stones.
