German term or phrase: rücken Brillanten

Bei uns finden Sie Goldanhänger in den unterschiedlichsten Ausführungen: Tahiti-, Südsee-, Süßwasser- oder Akoyaperlen und Edelsteine sind mit Bedacht ausgewählt und auf den Anhänger gearbeitet worden. Einige sind unauffällig und klassisch gearbeitet, andere bezaubern mit kunstvollen Gravuren oder RÜCKEN BRILLANTEN oder große Perlen besonders in den Vordergrund.

Thanks in advance for your ideas!

English translation:to particularly feature sth.

Explanation:
The infinitive you're looking for is, as others have already pointed out, "etwas besonders in den Vordergrund rücken".

I feel that "predominate" might have a slightly negative connotation, but I'm not sure here. "Particularly feature" is what came to my mind...

Note: It is what came to my *non-native* mind, I'd like to add. I'm just throwing this into the discussion.

rücken Brillanten in den Vordergrund brilliants predominate

Explanation:
A brilliant is a particular cut of diamond or other gemstone. "In den Vordergrund rücken" means "come to the fore", so I suggest: "...or brilliants or large pearls predominate".

The question should really be "rücken Brillanten in den Vordergrund", as "rücken" doesn't have any meaning on its own.

pendants boasting / catching attention with / showcasing / featuring

Explanation:
I understand, that they are trying to establish a difference between rather "unostentatious" and "flashy" pendants on the other hand.
