What is a shoulder set ring?

On a shoulder set ring, small diamonds run down each side of the centre stone and stop part of the way round, leaving the back of the band plain. You get extra sparkle on top and a smooth, comfortable band underneath.

Why 18ct white gold?

18ct white gold is 75% pure gold, alloyed for strength and finished with rhodium plating for a bright, cool white. It costs less than platinum and is a little lighter on the hand. The rhodium wears gradually, so a quick re-plate every year or two keeps it looking new.

Choosing your diamond shape

A round brilliant gives the most sparkle. Oval and marquise look larger for their weight and lengthen the finger. Princess and radiant are crisp and modern, while emerald, Asscher and cushion cuts bring a vintage, Art Deco feel. Diamond shoulders suit every shape.

Made in the Cotswolds

We are a family jeweller in the Cotswolds, making engagement rings since 1969. Your ring is made to order in our own workshop in recycled precious metal, hallmarked, and set with the certified centre diamond you choose.

Frequently Asked Questions

<p>A shoulder set ring has diamonds on the shoulders only. A diamond band ring carries them further round the band. See our <a href="/engagement-rings/diamond-set-band">diamond band engagement rings</a>.</p>
<p>Clean it at home with warm soapy water and a soft brush, and have the settings checked once a year. White gold is rhodium plated, so re-plating every year or two keeps it bright white.</p>
<p>Many shoulder set designs sit flush with a straight wedding band. Where they do not, a shaped band fits neatly alongside, and we can make one to match.</p>
