The band splits gracefully as it rises toward the center, one line running smooth and polished, the other set with a row of prong-set diamonds along its length. A white gold head crowns the piece, built to hold a 2.00 carat round center securely above the crossover design.

Twenty diamonds bring .12 carats to the piece (G color, SI1 clarity), adding movement without overwhelming the line of the ring. Center stone not included — a setting with quiet complexity, more interesting the longer you look at it.
