This contemporary solitaire engagement ring features a 1.70 carat emerald cut diamond in a fancy brown color, set in 14 karat yellow gold. Fancy brown diamonds have a warm, cognac-like tone that pairs particularly well with yellow gold. 

Emerald cuts produce long, mirror-like flashes rather than intense sparkle. The band has tapered shoulders that narrow toward the center stone, keeping the focus on the diamond. Four prongs hold everything securely in place.
