Cathedral Engagement Rings

Cathedral engagement rings are a timeless choice, known for their elegant arches that gracefully raise the center stone, creating a stunning display of brilliance. Inspired by the grand arches of cathedrals, these settings offer a classic yet bold look, making the diamond appear larger and more prominent. 

At James Allen, our collection of cathedral engagement rings blends vintage charm with modern craftsmanship. Whether you prefer a sleek solitaire or a pavé-set design for extra sparkle, our expertly crafted rings are designed to highlight the beauty of the center stone while offering a secure setting. 

Cathedral settings not only enhance the diamond’s visual impact but also allow for beautiful detailing along the arches, adding sophistication from every angle. This style pairs beautifully with round, princess, and oval diamonds for a statement look.
