Diamond Shoulder Engagement Rings

Diamond shoulder engagement rings pair a centre diamond with smaller diamonds set along the band. The shoulders bring extra detail to the design, drawing the eye towards the centre stone and adding sparkle across the finger. Explore Berry’s collection to compare delicate diamond-set bands with more decorative settings.

Choosing your diamond shoulder engagement ring

Start with the shape and proportions of the centre diamond, then consider how the shoulders complement it. A fine line of diamonds creates a subtle finish, while wider shoulders give the ring a more prominent outline. Look at the setting from the side as well as above, and compare the metal, band width and height to find a design that feels comfortable on your hand.

Diamond shoulders and diamond-set bands

Diamond shoulders describe the part of an engagement ring’s band that sits on either side of the centre setting. You may also see these designs described as engagement rings with diamond-set bands. Pavé and channel settings are particular ways of securing the smaller diamonds, so check each ring’s details when comparing styles.

Finding a wedding band to complement your ring

Try your engagement ring alongside a wedding band to see how the two sit together. A plain band can highlight the diamond detailing, while a diamond-set wedding ring adds another row of sparkle. The height and shape of the centre setting will help determine whether a straight or shaped band gives the fit you prefer.
