The contrast is lovely: the yellow diamond is held in 18k yellow gold, which brings out the yellow color of the diamond, while the white diamonds are set into the 18k white gold band, keeping the white and yellow diamonds in sync with the metals they are set in. The central diamond is oval, which has become a popular shape in engagement rings. The ring makes a great classic engagement ring, or could be worn for any occasion to bring beauty and sparkle to the hand.

On the inside of the band, the ring is marked 2000, 750, D1.00, d0.35. The ring weighs 2.91 grams.
