Princess-Cut Halo Style Diamond Engagement Ring

This is a contemporary-styled engagement ring featuring a central princess-cut diamond, or a square composite of diamonds, set within a halo of smaller round brilliant diamonds. The metal appears to be 14k or 18k white gold or platinum, though some warm reflections suggest the possibility of yellow gold or significant wear to a rhodium plating. The ring features a pavé-set split-shoulder or tapered shank, with smaller diamonds extending down the sides of the band to enhance light performance. The craftsmanship reflects modern mass-market or high-end jewelry production techniques common in the early 21st century. Notable features include the raised cathedral-style setting and the halo design which serves to maximize the visual profile of the center stone. Condition-wise, the stones appear secure, but the metal surface shows minor surface scratches and general signs of wear typical for a pre-owned bridal piece. Without internal magnification, the diamond clarity and exact carat weight cannot be determined, but the overall presentation suggests a classic 'bridal' aesthetic popular from 2010 to the present day.
