Diamond shoulders with a round brilliant diamond

A round brilliant has 57 facets cut to return as much light as possible, which makes it the brightest diamond shape you can choose. Diamond shoulders frame the centre stone and draw the eye straight to it.

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.

Made in the Cotswolds

Every ring is made to order in our family workshop in Bourton-on-the-Water, where we have made fine jewellery since 1969. We use 100% recycled precious metal, and every ring is independently hallmarked. Want to see the rings first? Book a virtual meeting.
