A dinner-style ring with a large center gem surrounded by tapered baguette diamonds in a radial pattern is called a

• A. Halo ring
• B. Bezel ring
• C. Ballerina ring
• D. Solitaire ring

Answer: (C)

Think of the visual cue: a large center gemstone with long, narrow baguette diamonds set all around it in a radiating, tutu-like pattern. That distinctive arrangement is what jewelers refer to when they describe a ballerina ring. The radial spokes of tapered baguette diamonds create that burst, elegant look around the central gem. A halo ring would surround the center with small stones in a continuous circle, but not with the long, blade-like baguettes in a spoke pattern. A bezel ring sticks the center stone into a metal rim, with no surrounding diamonds in the same radiating configuration. A solitaire ring features only the single center stone and nothing surrounding it. So the described design fits a ballerina ring best.
