This dress ring follows an elegant curve around the marquise crown collet that is flanked by two small gemstones set in collets. The band is framed by a raised border drawing the eye to the design and adds heft to overall design.

This design is suited to adaptations such as having the band and border both highly polished. Or the band can be textures and the border polished.
