{"product_id":"concept-design-bezel-set-radiant-copy","title":"Concept Design: Halo Marquise","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eA single marquise cut diamond framed by a halo of accent diamonds, set in 18ct white gold on a slim plain band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a marquise cut?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe marquise cut is an elongated stone with curved sides and two pointed ends, originally created in the 18th century. The shape is dramatic and distinctive — it sits longer on the finger than almost any other cut, which makes the diamond appear visually larger than a round of the same carat weight and gives the hand an elongated, sculptural look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eIt's also one of the most underrated diamond shapes we sell. Marquise cuts had a moment in the 80s and 90s, fell out of fashion for a couple of decades, and have come back strongly in the last few years as buyers move away from the more common round and oval cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a halo?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eA halo is a ring of small accent diamonds set around the centre stone. It does two things: it makes the centre diamond look visibly larger by extending its visual footprint, and it adds extra sparkle around the edge of the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eIn this design, the halo follows the elongated marquise silhouette exactly, pointed at the top and bottom, curved on the sides. The shape of the halo is determined by the shape of the stone, which is why a halo marquise reads as distinctly different from a halo round or halo oval.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis concept\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis version pairs a marquise cut diamond with a matching halo in 18ct white gold, set on a slim plain band. The all-white-gold construction keeps the look clean and icy, with no warm tones interrupting the diamond. The V-claws at the top and bottom protect the marquise's pointed tips, where chips happen most easily if left exposed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEverything can be changed\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis is a starting point, not the only option.
