Cathedral engagement rings lift the center diamond on two graceful arches that rise from the band, the architectural detail that gives the cathedral setting its name. The extra height makes the stone look more prominent, lets light in from every side and leaves room for a wedding band to sit flush. Clairamor offers more than 1,100 cathedral set engagement rings across eight diamond shapes, in 14k or 18k yellow, white, rose or two-tone gold and platinum, with settings from $1,000.
Cathedral Setting Engagement Rings: The Styles
The classic cathedral solitaire is the purest form: a plain band, sweeping arches and four or six prongs. Cathedral hidden halo rings tuck a circle of diamonds beneath the center stone. Cathedral bezel and split cathedral bezel rings pair the arches with a protective rim of metal. Tulip-style cathedral settings flare the arches into petals, and engraved and heirloom cathedral rings add vintage detail along the shoulders. There are east-west, art deco and three-stone cathedral designs too, 22 designs in all.
Cathedral Rings by Diamond Shape
Because the arches follow the outline of the stone, a cathedral diamond ring flatters every shape. Elongated stones gain extra presence from the height, while rounds and cushions look classic and balanced. Each shape has its own collection: cathedral oval, cathedral marquise, cathedral emerald cut, cathedral radiant, cathedral cushion, cathedral pear, cathedral round and cathedral moval engagement rings.
Is a Cathedral Setting Right for You?
Choose engagement rings with a cathedral setting if you want maximum light return and a raised, traditional profile; the arches also shield the edge of the stone from side knocks. If you would rather have a ring that sits low and never snags, look at our low profile and bezel set engagement rings instead. Every cathedral setting here is made to order for a lab-grown diamond you choose.
Lab-Grown, Graded and Guaranteed
Clairamor center diamonds are lab grown and independently graded by IGI or GIA, with the report included. Free US shipping, 30-day returns, one complimentary resize within 100 days and a lifetime manufacturing warranty come with every cathedral engagement ring.
