Design a cluster engagement ring

Striking and unique, cluster engagement rings are perfect for those who want to bring a magical element to their engagement ring. Whether it be a cluster of diamonds, rubies or sapphires, there are a limitless amount of stylish ways that you can craft a cascading constellation of gemstones to accent your engagement ring design.

What is a Cluster Ring?

A cluster ring is an arrangement of smaller diamonds or gemstones–the look and feel can vary greatly. The formation can be asymmetric and abstract or can be very uniform and symmetrical. With a diamond cluster ring, you aren’t restricted to the classic diamond shapes. Instead you can arrange your gemstones in any shape or formation you wish.

And that’s the beauty of a cluster engagement ring, the potential of crafting something that’s totally original. To give designs a unique shape and form, designers often use cluster rings with pavé set stones to create organic, innovative designs.

Gemstones such as emeralds, sapphires, rubies, and Paraiba tourmalines can all be combined in your cluster ring to make an eye-catching, colourful arrangement. Play with shapes to create your ideal cluster, such as mixing round brilliant cut diamonds with marquise, pear, or emerald cut diamonds or gemstones, or play with colour combinations to achieve a more dymanic finish. We often see the ombré effect being included on cluster designs that allow designs to feature the classic icy tones of diamonds transforming into the lighter and then more vibrant tones of the chosen gemstone.

What are the pros of cluster engagement rings?

A cluster ring is when, rather than one larger gemstone, you have a number of smaller gemstones set together as the centerpiece of your engagement ring. A cluster ring can be set into many intricate and original shapes, and often has an antique quality that creates a charming ring.

The biggest advantage of a cluster is that it can give the appearance of a larger gemstone but at less expense. Smaller diamonds arranged together can pack as much sparkle as a larger diamond and will cost much less than a larger diamond of the same surface area.

What are the cons of cluster engagement rings?

Due to the arrangement of many small stones set together, a cluster ring might be harder to clean than a simple solitaire. Also, because there are so many small stones it could be easier for one of the gemstones to become loose if not maintained properly.

 

Types of cluster engagement rings

Cluster engagement rings are known for their distinctive design, where multiple smaller gemstones or diamonds cluster together to create the appearance of a larger, more brilliant center stone. Here are some common types of cluster engagement rings:

 

Halo Cluster Rings

A central gemstone or diamond is encircled by a halo of smaller stones.
The halo enhances the brilliance and perceived size of the center stone.

 

Flower Cluster Rings

Gemstones or diamonds are arranged in a floral or petal-like pattern.
This design often features a round or oval center stone, mimicking the look of a flower.

Starburst Cluster Rings

Gemstones radiate outward from a central point, resembling a starburst.
This design creates a dazzling and dynamic effect.

Square Cluster Rings

Smaller gemstones or diamonds are arranged in a square shape around the center stone.
Square clusters can give a modern and geometric twist to the classic cluster design.

Vintage-Inspired Cluster Rings

These rings draw inspiration from antique or vintage designs.
They often feature intricate details, such as milgrain or filigree, surrounding the gemstones.

Mixed Gemstone Cluster Rings

Clusters can consist of various gemstones, adding color and vibrancy.
Popular choices include sapphire, ruby, emerald, and diamonds combined for a unique look.

Three-Stone Cluster Rings

Instead of a single center stone, three stones form the central focus.
The three stones can symbolize the past, present, and future of a relationship.

Art Deco Cluster Rings

Inspired by the Art Deco era, these rings feature geometric patterns and bold designs.
They often incorporate baguette-cut or emerald-cut diamonds.

Custom Cluster Rings

Many jewelers offer customization options, allowing you to create a unique cluster ring based on your preferences.
You can choose the type, arrangement, and size of gemstones to suit your style.

 

Minimalist Cluster Rings

These rings feature a simpler cluster arrangement with fewer stones.
Minimalist clusters offer a delicate and understated elegance.

When choosing a cluster engagement ring, consider the overall design, gemstone selection, and the arrangement of stones to find the perfect ring that suits your style and preferences.

A one-of-a-kind design, the Besso pave ring seamlessly marries old-world charm with modern organic undertones. The Besso borrows its name from the Catalan word for ‘twin’ and is an ethereal approach to the classic ‘toi et moi’ engagement ring; a style first popularised by Napoleon in the 18th century. The ‘toi et moi’ ring is identified by its classic two-stone design, which symbolises the union of two lovers. Crafted with a dainty slim band and unique composition, the Besso is set in platinum with round prongs to hold the captivating round diamond and 0.80ct round blue sapphire in place.

Deriving its name from the French word ‘tourelle’, meaning ‘turret’ or ‘small tower’, this unique Turelle ring is inspired by fantastical castle turrets and set in platinum and yellow gold with a platinum filigree setting for an elegant finish.

Cascade

The world is your oyster–shuck away!

How to select diamonds for a diamond cluster engagement ring

When selecting diamonds for your cluster engagement ring, instead of the 4 C’s (cut, clarity, carat and colour) focus instead on the shape of the gemstones and the type of stone selected when planning your design. As the gemstones are usually quite small in a diamond cluster engagement ring, elements such as clarity and carat aren’t as significant. What’s important is that you choose the correct shape and colour combination for your ring.

The style, colour, and shape of your cluster ring should reflect your personal style and story. If you are designing a bespoke cluster engagement ring, consider the sentiment behind the arrangement and choose metal and gemstone colours that reflect this. For example, you or your partner could choose to incorporate a birthstone in the cluster to create a beautiful, personalised engagement ring.

When choosing a wedding ring to go with your cluster diamond engagement ring, consider the style of your ring, and the shapes and colour of the gemstones used. If your cluster ring features all diamonds, a diamond pavé wedding band could be the perfect match. Alternatively, you can compliment your cluster ring with a contrasting colour, such as pairing blue sapphires with yellow diamonds.

If your cluster ring is a particularly striking shape, why not craft a bespoke cluster wedding band to match your engagement ring? Our design consultants can craft a wedding ring design that perfectly compliments your cluster engagement ring. Curved wedding bands are very popular, and tend to accentuate the form of a cluster ring.
