The prongs used in this engagment ring are an important part of the ring's design. The 1.0 carat brilliant cut diamond is held in place by two sets of prongs. One set reaches over the edge of the diamond. The set on the remaining sides of the diamond reaches under its edge.

When you look at the ring from the side, the prongs form the shape of a heart.
