Care Level
Low to Medium
We recommend you get this ring inspected as needed, but minimum 1-2 times yearly. Specifically, you should have the following inspected:
• Prongs: to make sure they are tight around your center stone
• Band: to make sure there is no warping, especially around the head area
• Hidden halo: to make sure all the stones are secure
Please keep in mind, if you opt for a pavé band this will increase the care requirements for your design, as multiple small stones are more vulnerable to getting loose or lost over time and will require routine inspections.
We recommend you perform routine cleanings at home and get it professionally cleaned once per year.

Things To Consider
Benefit one
When deciding on your stone size and setting, consider your lifestyle: a larger stone will be set higher and run the risk of getting in the way (caught in fabric, banged on surfaces, etc.)
Benefit two
Although the Harley is structurally strong enough to withstand everyday wear, we encourage those who have more active hands or those who aren't gentle with jewelry to consider the Caroline or a modified flush Harley. The Caroline is identical in design with the exception of added shanks on each side of the center stone for added support.
Benefit three
The hidden halo will require some maintenance in the long term. This means replacing any fallen/lost stones, or having the prongs tightened.

Jasmine
The Jasmine is a lower profile alternative to the Harley design; while they appear identical from the top view, the Jasmine features an invisible gallery (open space under the gem) as opposed to classic X prongs that meet at the base.
Caroline
The Harley and Caroline designs are identical with one exception: the Caroline features cathedral shanks on each side of the head for added support. This is a great alternative for those who need a bit more reinforcement around the centre stone.
Michelle
The Harley and Michelle designs are identical with one exception: the Michelle features a few accent stones on each side of the centre stone for added sparkle. The Michelle is a good alternative for those who want an added detail without committing to a full pavé band.
