0.96ctw Seven-Stone Marquise Diamond Anniversary Band in 14k Yellow Gold

Seven marquise diamonds east-west-set in a continuous row across the top of a 14k yellow gold band. The seven-stone layout runs longer across the finger than a traditional five-stone — the whole top of the hand reads as one long ribbon of fire, with each marquise throwing the sharp, pointed kind of flash that only this cut produces. Flat-set shoulder to shoulder so the stones sit close to the skin and nothing catches. The warm yellow gold picks up the warm undertones in the diamonds; the full row carries across nearly the whole finger. A classic anniversary silhouette at nearly-one-carat weight.

Seven marquise stones run longer across the hand than the traditional five — a full top-of-finger line of the sharp, pointed flash only this cut throws. Flat-set shoulder to shoulder means nothing snags and the fire sits right against the skin, which means it wears as easily as it shows. One stone per milestone, with room to count. Isn't that a better way to mark the years?
