It suits a buyer who wants an emerald cut to look wider on the hand than it measures, since the trapezoids continue the outline of the center outward instead of tapering away from it. Within our engagement rings collection, this is the most heavily set design, with accent rows under every main stone rather than under the center alone.

How Does the Cathedral Setting Change the Way the Ring Sits?

The shoulders rise in an arc to meet the head rather than running straight into it, so the center stone is braced from both sides instead of perched on top of a flat band. A stone of this footprint sits lower to the finger as a result, which is what stops it from feeling top heavy across a day of wear, and the arc gives the pave one continuous line to travel along from the shoulder up over the bridge.

The less common detail is underneath. All three main diamonds, not only the center, carry a narrow band of round accents set parallel to the girdle. Seen from above the ring reads as three stones on a pave band. Seen from the side, or from the wearer’s own eye line looking down, a second row of light follows the outline of each stone. The trapezoid sides are the other departure from the usual. A trapezoid keeps a wide outer edge where a tapered baguette would narrow, so the width of the emerald cut carries outward across the finger and the three stones read as one rectangle divided into three rather than a center with smaller stones beside it.

What Metal and Diamonds Are Used?

The ring is made in solid 14K white gold throughout, head, cathedral shoulders, and bridge, with no filled or plated base metal core. The center is an emerald cut lab grown diamond specified per order rather than fixed to this listing, and it is IGI certified, with the report supplied alongside the finished ring. The two trapezoid sides and every round accent are lab grown diamonds as well, 1 1/5 ct in total beyond the center. Accent diamonds at pave size are set as accents rather than graded individually, so no per stone report is issued for them.

• ◆ The accent rows under all three stones are set once the main stones are seated, so each row follows the finished outline of that particular stone rather than a channel cut before setting
• ◆ The trapezoid seats are cut to the table width of the chosen emerald cut, because a side stone that steps in or out at the join shows immediately from above
• ◆ Micro prongs on the bridge and shoulders are raised individually from the metal rather than from a stamped rail, which is what keeps the pave line unbroken around the curve of the cathedral arc
• ◆ Every prong tip and accent seat is checked under magnification before final polish, since one low accent shows against a polished arc
