A customer asked me to make a platinum engagement ring using a high quality princess cut diamond weighing between .75 and one carat. I located a really nice .81 carat diamond. Since a princess cut diamond doesn't have standard dimensions, I had to have the particular diamond in hand before setting to work making a wax model.

In a somewhat different manner than many of the other rings I make, this approach to setting the diamond causes the ring to look in many ways like a tension set ring. A minimally visible portion of metal passes directly beneath the stone and ties the two sides of the ring together. The princess cut diamond is in reality channel set, a much safer method of securing a stone than tension set. This type of ring has the added advantage of being able to be re-sized where a tension set ring cannot. ***Please note that a similar ring could be made of gold.
