A cathedral setting in 18K solid gold with GIA-certified diamonds. A cathedral setting raises the centre diamond above the band on two graceful arches, like the architecture of a cathedral.

Who a cathedral setting works for
Anyone who wants a taller profile and more visual drama from their centre diamond.
Metal and finish
Every Riyanika ring is 18K solid gold in yellow, white or rose. Hand-finished and hallmarked in our workshop. The collection runs both natural and lab-grown diamonds. Lab-grown gives you more carat per dollar; natural holds resale value better.
Stacking and pairing
Thinner-profile cathedral settings stack beautifully with engagement rings and other bands. For a clean stack, match the metal colour across rings and keep diamond sizes graduated (smallest closer to the knuckle).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a cathedral setting?
A cathedral setting raises the centre diamond above the band on two graceful arches, like the architecture of a cathedral. The lift adds height, light and presence to the centre stone.
Who is a cathedral setting best for?
Anyone who wants a taller profile and more visual drama from their centre diamond.
Can it be resized?
Most Riyanika rings can be resized 1–2 sizes. Eternity bands and rings with diamonds running fully around the band have limited resize range. We confirm the exact limit before you buy. First resize within 60 days is free.
What metal colour should I choose?
Match the ring's colour to existing rings on the same hand. For stacking next to an engagement ring, use the same metal as the engagement ring. For a standalone ring, pick the colour that works best against your skin tone.
Are the diamonds GIA-certified?
Every centre stone above 0.30 ct is GIA-certified, whether natural or lab-grown.
Can I get a cathedral setting bespoke?
Yes. Choose the centre stone shape, carat weight, metal colour and band profile. Most designs can be made bespoke at no extra cost. We CAD-render every bespoke piece before we make it.
