The ring is ornamented with a feature 3.25ct Old European cushion cut diamond, 18ct white gold collet set in relief to the centre of the design.
The diamond is encircled by sixteen 18ct yellow gold channel set square and trapezium cut emeralds, totalling 1.92cts.

The ring is supplied with an independent diamond grading certificate for the feature diamond in addition to an independent diamond grading report card for the supporting stones.
"Rather than regarding inclusions in coloured stones as harmful, in small sizes and numbers that do not in any way detract from their beauty, they should be regarded as adding to desirability, for they provide identifying characteristics."
