14K Rose Gold Halo Pendant Setting

This custom made pendant setting is offered in 14K rose gold, 14K white gold, 18K white gold, 14K yellow gold, 18K yellow gold, and Platinum 950, and is engineered to accept a central gem choice of sapphire, ruby, emerald, or other fine gemstone, with round brilliant cut diamonds as side stones. For sapphire and ruby centers, faceting recommendations include mixed cuts or brilliant cuts to maximize refractive return, and for emerald centers a step cut or emerald cut is indicated to preserve color saturation and reduce light leakage. The accent stones style uses a closely matched string of smaller diamonds set around the primary gem, each round diamond calibrated by diameter and weight to produce consistent scintillation, improving the apparent size and color contrast of the center stone. The halo style features a continuous ring of round brilliant side diamonds surrounding the center gem, configured in shared prong or microprong seats to minimize metal visibility and maximize exposed table surface, thereby increasing total brilliance and creating a striking, eye catching effect. Typical diamond selections for the halo and accents are chosen in the G to H color range, and within VS1 to SI1 clarity grades, balancing visual performance with value, and ensuring that the round shapes exhibit ideal facet symmetry and precise pavilion angles for optimal fire.

Our artisans bring this design to life through disciplined craftsmanship, beginning with careful CAD modeling to define prong geometry, bezel height, and undergallery clearance, followed by hand finishing of the wax model to refine seat tolerances to within a few hundredths of a millimeter. Casting in the selected metal is followed by hand cutting, filing, and burnishing to create a smooth crown and a properly tensioned gallery. Stone setting employs a combination of shared prong setting for the halo, secure prong seats or collet seats for the center stone depending on cut, and bead setting where appropriate for accent diamonds, all executed under a jeweler microscope to ensure uniformity. Final steps include laser soldering of the bale, high degree polishing with multi stage compounds, and rhodium plating for white gold options, plus a final quality control inspection that verifies stone alignment, crown symmetry, and polish quality. The result is a pendant that combines precise gemological selection, exacting faceting and setting techniques, and a handcrafted finish that celebrates the center gemstone with added sparkle and enduring structural integrity.
