What is a shoulder set ring?

Diamond shoulders are the middle ground between a plain solitaire and a full diamond band: a few diamonds either side of the centre stone for extra light, with a plain lower band that is easy to wear and easy to resize.

Why 18ct yellow gold?

18ct yellow gold is 75% pure gold, with the rich, warm colour that has been the classic choice for engagement rings for generations. It needs no plating, and its warmth gives white diamonds a lovely contrast.

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.
