ILLUSION
Metal surrounding a stone making it appear larger than it is, by working the metal in such a way that it looks like an extension of the stone.
OLD CUT DIAMOND
Refers to a stone cut with a circular shape and large culet. These stones were cut to maximise light return in low light conditions predominantly prior to 1910. Also called an old European cut.
PLATINUM
Platinum is the hardest precious metal. It is lighter, harder and stronger than gold or silver which it superseded as a setting for diamonds making finer intricate settings possible. Platinum was first hallmarked in the UK in 1975.
Shank
The part of the ring that encircles the finger, not including the top piece or head.
