It has 360 degree diamonds set into the band and it is extremely spectacular to look at. It can be purchased in different carats, but usually the 25 to 50 carat rings are chosen as they are the most striking.
The classic band hardly needs any introduction as everyone knows what it looks like. If you are having trouble choosing one for women, the classic band will always be a good choice.
