It has been set with a rock crystal within a claw settingA series of precious metal prongs, or “claws”, designed to hold a gemstone securely in place whilst allowing maximum light to reach it. that has been facetedA faceted stone has small, flat-cut surfaces that make a sparkling effect on transparent stones. Facets act as both mirrors and windows. Reflecting light and channelling light into a stone where it refracts and re-emerges. to imitate a diamondA precious, lustrous gemstone made of highly compressed carbon. Diamonds are one of the hardest materials known to mankind. Colours of diamonds range from colourless, yellow, orange and brown to almost black. Natural coloured (or ‘fancy’) diamonds can be extremely rare. The cut, colour, clarity and carat weight of a diamond are the criteria jewellers use…. The name Rock crystal or ice crystal, from the Greek word “krystallos”, means “ice”, because the crystal was thought to be frozen water, so hard that it could never thaw. It is smart and looks great when worn. This ring can be resized, though please note there may be an additional charge to increase by more than three sizes.
