The geometric precision of the princess cut
The princess cut was devised in the 1960s to maximise the brilliance of a rough diamond whilst emphasising clean, square lines. This aesthetic choice breaks with the classic rounded shape to offer a more structured look. This pre-owned ring by the Swiss jeweller Christian showcases a central natural diamond weighing 0.26 carats, graded H for colour and SI for clarity. The 18K yellow gold setting creates a well-proportioned design, intended to celebrate an engagement. This pre-owned solitaire is crafted in the finest jewellery-making tradition. The reference number RI-100961-GG-52 attests to its traceability.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The centre stone is securely held in place by an openwork setting featuring four angular prongs. This open structure allows light to pass beneath the bezel. The setting is raised and encircled by a continuous geometric pavé. This peripheral halo comprises 16 brilliant-cut diamonds totalling 0.06 carats. These accent stones are held in place by a discreet grain setting. The body of the ring features shoulders that flow smoothly into the head of the setting. This technique creates a balanced volume whilst maintaining a sense of lightness when worn. The yellow alloy has a fully polished finish.
Why choose this second-hand engagement ring
Choosing a pre-owned halo solitaire is a considered decision. The corolla-style design, set with peripheral diamonds, enhances the perceived volume of the centre stone. This design offers a striking presence for a sensible investment. Opting for a piece by an established jeweller guarantees consistent technical rigour in the selection of gemstones and the precision of the setting. It is difficult to achieve such a level of detail in contemporary bespoke creations under similar purchase conditions.
