9 diamonds to create the look of a solitaire
This 18-carat white gold ring features a round setting in which 9 brilliant-cut diamonds, ranging from 0.01 to 0.03 carats, are arranged to create the illusion of a single, larger stone. One diamond sits at the centre, surrounded by 8 others in a circle, totalling 0.12 carats. It is available second-hand in size 49.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The nine diamonds are set as close together as possible, minimising the amount of visible gold between them. The disc holding them is secured by four prongs and raised above the band, in the style of a solitaire. The band is slender, smooth and polished, tapering slightly towards the head. Viewed from the front, the head appears as a disc of light.
Why this second-hand ring
Grouping several small diamonds to create the appearance of a larger stone is a technique used by gem-setters, which gives the head a generous surface area without the need for a large diamond. This pre-owned ring thus retains the look of a solitaire, featuring 0.12 carats of diamonds set on a slender 18-carat white gold band.
