Four-Prong Cathedral Solitaire Engagement Ring Setting

The band rises in smooth cathedral arches on each side of the head, so the center stone sits high and catches more light. Four prongs hold the stone; a marquise gets six, with two guarding its points. The band is plain and polished, 2mm wide, with no side diamonds, so the center stone is the whole look. It takes all ten shapes: round, cushion, oval, princess, emerald, radiant, pear, asscher, marquise or heart.
