You’ve accomplished the challenging feat of finding someone you want to spend the rest of your life with. Now comes an equally challenging step: finding the perfect engagement ring. With so many decisions to make — band, setting, stone shape, gem colour, et cetera — and so much industry jargon to wade through, ring shopping is no easy task.

There’s no fast track to procuring the right ring for the love of your life. It may take months of research, rounds of consultation with friends and family, and much agonizing over her stylistic predilections.

Harry Winston’s Micropave Engagement ring is here to end your decision fatigue. Aptly named “The One”, it’s the embodiment of the unique blessing of finding your one in a million in life. We list 4 things you should know about one of the best-selling bands of the jewellery house.

Hand-Made Craftsmanship

Each Micropave ring is meticulously handcrafted using special techniques of the legacy jewellery house. Every platinum setting is constructed by hand — using a minimal amount of metal in order to maximise the fire, brilliance and scintillation of each individual stone. In other words, less metal means more shine on the ring.

Making of a Harry Winston engagement ring

The most peculiar feature of a Micropave ring lies in its center stone. With it lifted a bit higher from the band — where the minimal gold setting technique is also applied — the natural beauty of the diamond is enhanced through the house’s proficient detailing technique.   

All platinum surfaces of the house’s engagement rings are thoroughly polished — including the under-bezel and ajours — to a glistening mirror-like finish, despite the minimal gold setting technique applied.

A Variety of Center Stone Cuttings

One cardinal rule for ring-shopping: The engagement ring should be a reflection of the wearer. To channel the unique tastes of your paramour, a range of center stone cuttings is available for you to choose from.

Seen on the hands of stylish stars — think Gabrielle Union and Kelly Rowland — on and off the red carpet, the cushion-cut is for those with a glamourous and classic flair. Oval-cut, on the other hand, is set to capture the heart of those looking for graceful and intricate details.

The label pays utmost attention to its diamond collection by ensuring that each ring is custom-made for a specific gem. Every diamond, weighing 1/100 of a carat, is carefully handpicked and graded in order to meet the house’s strict quality standards.

These exquisite diamonds will then be set by hand to create a design that enhances the beauty of the center stone.
