The Meridian Solitaire

Modern Engineering Meets Timeless Security

The Design Experience the perfect blend of contemporary aesthetics and everyday practicality with our The Meridian Solitaire setting. This two-tone masterpiece features a precision-crafted white gold bezel that seamlessly frames your center stone, creating an illusion of greater size and brilliance. The sleek, yellow gold shank provides a warm, classic contrast that transitions effortlessly into the setting’s structural heart.

The Architecture At the base of the setting lies our signature "donut"—a rounded metal stabilizer designed to sit flush against the finger. This unique foundation provides unmatched lateral stability, ensuring your ring stays centered and secure. Unlike traditional high-set rings, this low-profile design is engineered to be snag-resistant, making it the ideal choice for an active lifestyle.

The Details

• Open Gallery: The elevated bezel features an open-air "window," allowing you to admire the pavilion of your diamond while maximizing light entry for superior sparkle.

• Two-Tone Sophistication: A warm 18k Yellow Gold band paired with a Platinum or White Gold head to ensure your diamond remains bright and colorless.

• Comfort-First Fit: The smooth, rounded interior and low-set "donut" base offer a seamless feel for all-day wear.

3. Styling Note for Customers

Note: Because of the stabilizing "donut" at the base, this ring is best paired with a curved or contoured wedding band. This ensures your bridal set sits perfectly flush, creating a unified, stackable look.

Technical Specifications

1. Metal & Composition

• Dual-Metal Architecture: Features a high-contrast two-tone design with a white metal head to keep the diamond bright and a warm yellow gold shank.

• Shank Metal Options: Available in 14k or 18k Yellow Gold.

• Bezel Head Metal Options: Available in 14k/18k White Gold or Platinum for maximum durability.

• Karat Consistency: Both metals are matched in karat weight (e.g., 18k/18k) to prevent uneven wear or scratching between components.

2. Setting Architecture

• Primary Style: Full bezel setting that encircles the entire perimeter of the gemstone for maximum security.

• Base Design: Features a integrated "donut" stabilizer at the base of the head, providing multiple points of contact with the band for enhanced structural integrity.

• Open Gallery: The head is designed with an "open" side profile, revealing the diamond’s pavilion and allowing light to enter the stone from all angles to maximize brilliance.

• Bezel Overlap: The metal rim extends approximately 0.2mm – 0.3mm over the stone’s surface to create a secure, protective barrier.

3. Dimensions & Fit

• Shank Width: A refined 2.0mm – 2.2mm band width, optimized for a sleek "minimalist" look while maintaining daily-wear durability.

• Shank Thickness: Minimum 1.8mm thickness for resistance to bending and long-term metal fatigue.

• Setting Height: Low-profile design sits 4.5mm – 6.5mm from the finger to the top of the stone, ensuring it is snag-free and comfortable.

• Bezel Wall Thickness: Typically 0.5mm – 1.0mm, depending on center stone size, providing a bold framing effect.

4. Compatibility

• Center Stone Shapes: While optimized for Round Brilliant cuts, the architectural bezel can be customized for Oval, Cushion, or Emerald shapes.

• Wedding Band Pairing: Designed for a flush-fit with curved, contoured, or "open gap" wedding bands to accommodate the protruding donut base.

Structural Benefits

Note to Customers: This "Donut" architecture is specifically engineered for active lifestyles. By connecting the band directly to the low-profile base, the setting is significantly more resistant to shearing or accidental impact compared to a traditional high-set peg head.
