Cartier Destinée

A solitaire circled by a halo of small diamonds set so lightly that they seem to float free of the metal.

Glam'Azone pavé ring in yellow gold: two parallel diamond-set bands joined at the centre by an oval diamond in a pavé halo, on a pale grey ground.

Glam'Azone

Two slim lines of gold cross the finger like an Amazon's arrow and spear and meet at an oval diamond held in a pavé halo, the shield.

Cartier describes the halo of Destinée as a release: small diamonds set so lightly that they seem to burn round the centre stone, free of the metal. Messika's halo on Glam'Azone is a shield, the oval diamond at the meeting point of two thin gold bands drawn as an Amazon's arrow and spear. The same device, a ring of pavé round one stone, reads as pure light in the first ring and as armour in the second, a bride's halo against a warrior's emblem.
