SKU RIN-22-0203
An illusion setting is a prong setting designed to make a diamond look bigger than it actually is. This is accomplished by a ring of metal surrounding the girdle of the diamond that is often bright cut. This ring diffuses the outline of the stone causing it to look larger.
According to history, Oscar Massin, a French jeweller born in the early 19th Century, invented the illusion setting.
He was a jeweller’s apprentice, who was promoted and given his own work bench when his employer discovered some of his jewellery design drawings. Massin came up with the illusion style, back then called the “illusiory setting”, precisely with the intention of emphasizing the size of small diamonds.
This ring has an intricate gold pattern that is cut to also reflect the light. The diamond measures 2.5mm round and is estimated to weigh 0.05 cts.
The ring is not hallmarked for gold purity, however it tests as 14K White Gold.
Ring Size: 6 US
Item Weight: 2.75 g
