German term or phrase: führen das Auge weiter
The third question from the marketing text. I can't quite get at a good English translation for the above phrase - can anyone help out?

In the following:

Von allen Seiten spiegelt sich intensivste Brillanz durch unterschiedliche Lichteinflüsse: So changieren die Nuancen des prägnanten Steines von tiefdunklem Moosgrün bis hin zu strahlenden gelbgrünen Lichtreflexen – ein Spiel von Licht und Schatten, welches den Blick seines Betrachters gefangen hält. Blitzende aneinandergereihte Diamanten **führen das Auge weiter** und betonen den eleganten goldenen Steg, der die Verbindung von Stein und Halsreif schafft.

Sounds a shade better in the context than "lead the eye in". Thanks to both of you for your suggestions.

Explanation:
Oft in der Fotografie verwendet, heisst es "lead the eye (in to the picture)". Ich denke, das funktioniert hier ebenfalls.
