14K White Solid Gold Diamond Engagement Ring 7.31 Ctw

DESCRIPTION:

Sixteen round cut diamonds are prong set across the band of this ring rather than pave set, which is why the sides read as a row of distinct stones with metal between them instead of one continuous glittering surface. Those sixteen stones weigh 3.20 carats together and are G in color and VS1 in clarity.

The center diamond is a 4.11 carat round brilliant, EGL certified at I color and SI3 clarity. Total diamond weight across the ring is 7.31 carats. The center measures 3/8 of an inch, or 10 mm, across and the 14K white gold mounting weighs approximately 9.7 grams.

SI3 sits below SI2, and it is the grade where an inclusion can become visible to a careful eye at close range, usually as a small dark point rather than anything cloudy. It is also the main reason a stone of this size is available at this price: at VS clarity the same 4.11 carats would cost a multiple of it. The side stones are a cleaner and whiter grade than the center at VS1 and G, which keeps the frame bright around it.
