Golden Hour

Set on its side rather than upright, this solitaire gives a classic cut a modern posture. The elongated rectangular stone sits horizontally across the band in an east-west orientation, its clipped corners and long clean lines reading architectural rather than traditional.

The stone is held in a smooth full bezel that wraps the entire perimeter and protects the girdle, keeping the ring low and close to the hand. No raised claws to catch on clothing — comfortable enough for everyday wear.

The shank is a slender rounded band in warm polished gold, flowing smoothly into the head so the profile stays flat and uninterrupted from every angle. Under directional light the facets throw bright internal flashes across the table.
