The story

Destinée is Cartier's halo engagement ring, made with a brilliant, pear, oval or emerald-cut diamond or an oval emerald, in platinum or gold. Cartier describes the setting as releasing the diamonds from the metal so the halo burns around the centre stone. The house does not publish a launch year or designer.
