Diamond shoulders with a emerald diamond

An emerald cut is a step cut: long, flat facets that give broad flashes of light, often called a hall-of-mirrors effect. Clarity shows more in a step cut, so the centre stone is chosen with care. Diamond shoulders add a touch of brilliance beside the calm, open look of a step-cut centre.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

<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>
