Diamond shoulders with a radiant diamond

A radiant cut has the trimmed-corner outline of an emerald cut with brilliant faceting, so you get a clean oblong or square shape with plenty of sparkle. The cropped corners make it practical to wear every day. Diamond shoulders carry its brilliance onto the band while the lower band stays plain and comfortable.

What is a shoulder set ring?

Shoulder set rings have diamonds set in the shoulders, the part of the band that rises to meet the center stone. They add sparkle where it is seen most while the lower band stays plain, which is comfortable, sits neatly beside a wedding ring and keeps resizing simple.

Why 18ct yellow gold?

18ct yellow gold is 75% pure gold, with the rich, warm color 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

Frequently Asked Questions

<p>A shoulder set ring has diamonds on the shoulders only, either side of the center stone. A diamond band ring carries the diamonds further round the band. Shoulder set leaves more of the band plain, so it is easier to resize and very comfortable to wear every day.

<p>Clean it at home with warm soapy water and a soft brush, and have the settings checked once a year. 18ct yellow gold needs no plating; an occasional professional polish restores its shine.</p>
<p>Many shoulder set designs sit flush with a straight wedding band. Where the shoulders or center setting are wider, a shaped band fits neatly alongside, and we can make one to match.</p>
