This ultra small ring (it's a size 2.5!) has a Prism Lite diamond prong set in a white gold illusion mount that's supported by a yellow gold band. The diamond is 3.75mm wide and weighs approximately 0.20ct. The illusion mount is designed to visually increase a diamond's perceived size by ensconcing it in white metal, blurring its optical boundaries.
HISTORY LESSON: The Prism Lite diamond was a proprietary cut that was first trademarked in 1947. "‘Prism-Lite’ diamonds were in demand for their special brilliance achieved by ‘new scientific diamond cutting process’ and were purchased by jewelry stores & designers to set in their mounting."

How to Wear with Care
Jewelry is meant to be worn, but it's also an expensive ornament. Here are a few suggestions to extend the life of your jewelry:
- We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or another trusted jeweler every six months.
- You should remove your rings before swimming or performing any household cleaning, as harsh chemicals can interact with precious metals and permanently damage some stones.
- Generally, we suggest that you do not wear your jewelry to the gym, in the shower, at the pool, or while sleeping.
