The setting of the ring is beautiful. It has an open work basket setting on the mount and the band is bypass design coming up on on side and down on the other side. The ring mount still sits center on the finger. It is hard to describe and difficult to see in the photos but it is lovely sweeping effect. The ring is marked 14k for gold purity and has been safely tested to be so. This ring has a nice weight to it at 4.1 grams including the stones. The ring is also marked ROMANY inside the band.
