Emerald-Cut Cathedral Solitaire Engagement Ring

An emerald-cut diamond sits raised at the heart of this ring, held in double claws at each corner and lifted by a cathedral setting that arches up from the band to cradle the stone. It's a design that lets the emerald cut do what it does best — long, clean lines and those stepped facets drawing the eye into the depth of the diamond, with nothing to compete for attention.

The cathedral shoulders are shaped and polished by hand in our Ditchling workshop, sweeping up in a smooth curve that supports the stone and gives the ring its elegant profile from the side. It's designed wedfit, so a wedding band sits flush against it with no gap between the two — the shaping of the band allows a matching ring to nestle neatly alongside. The double claws hold each corner securely while keeping the setting open, so light passes freely through the diamond, and the band itself is a touch more substantial than a fine solitaire — a slightly heavier shank that gives the ring presence on the finger and tapers gently towards the back for a comfortable, balanced fit.

It's a ring with a quiet confidence — pared back, architectural, and made to be worn every day for a lifetime.
