Embrace by Trouvaille Hidden Halo Semi-Mount for Oval Center

At dinner Saturday, your buddy's fiancée held her hand out under the table light. Everyone said gorgeous. Your girl asked what color grade the diamond was. The table went quiet, because nobody else had thought to ask.

She isn't trying to embarrass anyone. She doesn't buy on the word gorgeous. She buys on the number, and she wants that number in writing. A stone nobody can verify isn't a stone she trusts. This setting works the same way: forty-eight round diamonds, graded G/H in color and VS1 in clarity, stated plainly instead of sold to her on a feeling. The halo sits hidden beneath the center stone you'll choose for her, out of sight until she tilts her hand, and even the part she can't see meets the standard.

This setting is 14-karat white gold with a diamond hidden halo beneath an oval head built to hold a center stone of about 1.5 carats, sold separately. Thirty-six round diamonds line the shank and halo, G/H in color, VS1 in clarity, 0.44 ct total weight. Twelve more round diamonds, same G/H color and VS1 clarity, add 0.05 ct total weight around the head. The shank is the Embrace collection's Tradition profile, polished throughout.

Every diamond in this setting is graded, stated, and accounted for, down to the ones she'll never see without turning her hand over. That's the answer she's been asking for.
