.80 Cushion Salt & Pepper Diamond in 14k Yellow Gold

This solitaire engagement ring features a .80 carat cushion cut salt and pepper diamond in a four-prong basket setting with 14K yellow gold filigree metalwork. Salt and pepper diamonds contain visible black and white inclusions throughout the stone, creating a speckled, cloudy appearance that makes each diamond unique. The cushion cut has rounded corners and larger facets than modern brilliants, producing softer flashes of light that work well with the salt and pepper inclusions by incorporating them into the overall look of the stone.

The filigree mounting features delicate openwork metalwork in the antique style, with curling patterns and scrollwork visible from the side profile of the ring. The four-prong basket holds the cushion diamond securely while keeping the profile low enough for comfortable everyday wear. The yellow gold complements the warmer tones often present in salt and pepper diamonds.
