Solitaire Half Guard Ring in 18K Gold

An 18K gold solitaire with an integrated half guard — form and companion, made as one.

The solitaire with a half guard is one of the most enduring constructions in engagement jewelry — the raised center and the curved protector sharing the same piece rather than requiring two purchases and two wearings. This version, in 18K yellow gold, executes that construction with the precision the combination demands.

The guard arc is shaped to follow the natural curve of a solitaire setting, the two elements reading as a unified design from any angle. Without a stone — the setting here awaits one — the ring's architecture is apparent in its own right.

A ring that knows what it is built for.
