Buying guide

What a cathedral setting does

In a cathedral setting the shoulders of the band rise in arches to meet the head, like the vaults of a church. This raises the center, gives it room for prongs underneath, and adds height and shape when the ring is seen from the side. A center sits a little higher than in a low setting, which helps it catch light.

Why channel set accents pair well with it

Channel setting holds small stones in a groove between two metal walls, with no prongs between them. The walls protect the edges of the lab-grown diamond accents and give the band a smooth surface that snags less on clothing. On a cathedral ring the channel follows the arch up toward the center, so the sparkle leads the eye to the stone you choose. A style with double claw prongs on the center gives a finer look.

Centers, metals and price

Every setting takes round, oval, cushion, pear, marquise, emerald, princess, radiant, Asscher and heart centers, and the product page offers fancy blue, pink, yellow and green centers too, with black on some designs. Settings start from about $350, and most are about $1,200. That price is for the setting; the center is priced when you choose it.
