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."

The Scale
Virtual Try-on Info.
When visible, the Virtual Try-on button (located above the Add to Cart button) lets you see this piece at true size beside a US quarter, a ruler, or a credit card; on a model's hand, ear, wrist, or lapel; or on you, using just your phone or computer. No account or app is needed.
Every piece is measured and checked by a person before it gets the button, and the size shown is calculated from that measurement. On the model views, the hand wears a size 7 on the ring finger, the wrist is 6.5 inches around, and the ear is an average adult ear. On you, the scale comes from the ring size you enter or from a bank card in the photo.
Your photo is processed in your browser and is never uploaded to us. New pieces receive the button within a few days of being listed.
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.
