Buying guide

What cathedral and split shank each add

A cathedral setting rises from the band in two arches that hold the head, like the arches of a church roof. The arches raise the center and give the side view a strong, tailored line. A split shank divides the band into two strands near the top. Together they open a little space on each side of the stone and make the center look wider on the hand, while the solitaire layout keeps all the attention on one stone.

Choosing the center

The setting is made for one center stone, which you choose in the next step. It takes round, oval, cushion, princess, emerald, radiant, Asscher, pear, marquise and heart shapes. Longer shapes such as oval, pear and marquise stretch the look along the finger, while round and cushion keep it classic. You can also pick a fancy-color center in pink, yellow, blue or green.

Metal and price

Gold comes in 10K, 14K or 18K. White gold and platinum suit a bright, cool look; yellow and rose gold give a softer, warmer one. Platinum is the densest and keeps its white color without plating. Setting prices start under $500, and many are about $1,700. The price is for the setting only; the center is priced when you choose it.
