The center stone is a 1.07ct princess cut diamond that is set in such a way that it appears to be floating, which optimizes light reflection. The band itself, which I custom designed, has 100 pave set diamonds totaling 1.5cts. The top of the band has 3 rows of pave set diamonds (the middle row is princess cut, slightly bigger and higher than the two surrounding round diamond rows). The sides of the band also have round pave set diamonds, as well as a suprise diamond on each side. The prongs are also covered in tiny diamonds. The total carat weight of my engagement ring is approximately 2.57cts. This ring is an upgrade from the original proposal ring (same center stone, different setting). The last picture here is the original ring in which the center stone was placed on a diagonal "compass" setting.
