Uh oh, he's being summoned. With one last glance at the ring in the case, he strolls back towards Lissa and Ishimitsu.
"Bunta-kun!" Ishimitsu says in delighted surprise as two and two finally come together. "You're the lucky guy? Why didn't you say something?!"
"Well, it's a bit of a secret right now..."
"I see, I see! Not to worry. Well then, let's see what we have for you. Miss, to answer your question-- it's a mix of aesthetics and function. Women tend to like rings that are designed primarily to attract notice, and the basket helps the stone stand out more. Insetting the stone in the band makes for a ring that is not as flashy but that does not catch easily on things while working with the hands. This is usually the more attractive design choice for men."
