A Larger Version of Our Cathedral Three Stone Diamond Engagement Ring

How this uplifting architectural design transforms with bigger diamonds

The cathedral three stone engagement ring is one of our signature designs because it blends meaningful symbolism with sculptural beauty.

While the version available to purchase on our website features three diamonds with a total carat weight of 0.50ct, our customers have been drawn to the idea of customising the design with larger stones. To help you imagine how this architectural setting evolves in scale, we created a short video of a bespoke version commissioned by one of our clients.

This post gives you a closer look at how the cathedral style adapts when the diamonds increase in size, and why it remains such a balanced, uplifting design at every scale.

The Meaning Behind a Three Stone Cathedral Engagement Ring

Three stone rings have long been chosen for their symbolism: the past, the present, and the future. They represent the story you’ve already lived, the moment you share today, and all the hopes you’re carrying forward together.

In our cathedral design, that symbolism becomes even more expressive.

The claws sweep upward and cross over in a vaulted form inspired by the arches found in historic cathedrals — spaces built to feel light, soaring, and spiritually uplifting. These curves don’t just hold the diamonds securely; they lift the stones into the light in a way that feels quietly dramatic and full of optimism.

It’s a setting designed to celebrate love as something steady, hopeful, and beautifully illuminated.

How the Design Evolves With Larger Diamonds

The ring shown in the commissioned video features significantly larger diamonds than the 0.50ct version we carry in stock. Increasing the scale brings forward some beautiful qualities in the design:

1. The cathedral arches become more sculptural

As the diamonds increase in size, the sweeping criss-cross structure appears even more architectural and expressive, creating a dramatic side profile while still feeling graceful.

2. The central diamond becomes a true focal point

Larger stones amplify the illusion created by the tighter centre claws — the centre diamond appears to rise and “grow”, drawing the eye to the heart of the ring.

3. The proportions remain balanced

Even when scaled up, the spacing between the three stones and the subtle graduation between them keeps the design harmonious. Nothing feels crowded or heavy.

4. Light performance increases

Bigger diamonds mean broader flashes of light, and the cathedral structure allows light to enter from every direction. The result is exceptional sparkle.

This makes the cathedral setting ideal for clients who want a bold, elegant version of a classic three stone ring without losing refinement.

Why Show a Larger Version?

Couples often find it difficult to picture how a design will look when adapted to different diamond sizes. Seeing a real commissioned piece gives you:

• A true sense of scale
• Confidence in how the design performs with bigger stones
• A clearer understanding of what’s possible in a bespoke commission

The video is not the product for sale — instead, it is a source of inspiration for anyone considering a customised version of the design.

Commissioning Your Own Cathedral Engagement Ring

Every bespoke commission begins with your story — what the ring is celebrating, the stones you’re drawn to, and the meaning you want it to carry. From there, we’ll guide you through diamond or gemstone options, scale, proportions, and your preferred metal.

This design can be created with:

• Larger or smaller diamonds
• Colour gemstones
• Lab-grown or natural diamonds
• Platinum or gold
• Symmetrical or graduated proportions

We’ll work with you to create a piece that feels not only beautiful but emotionally resonant and entirely yours.
