Pear cut cathedral engagement rings in rose gold

Engagement rings and wedding rings should be cleaned once a week to keep them shining bright and germ-free. This is especially true of Cathedral rings whose arches and extra crevices can attract more dirt. A simple weekly cleaning routine involves soaking your ring in a small bowl filled with warm water and a few drops of liquid dishwashing soap. After thirty to forty-five minutes, remove the ring and brush it gently with a soft-bristle toothbrush, then rinse and pat dry with a soft towel. 

A Cathedral setting is an engagement ring setting that features two metal arches on either side of the center stone. These arches gently lift and secure the solitaire diamond in place. It is named after the arches found in Gothic cathedrals around Europe.

In short, a Cathedral setting can be more secure than other engagement ring settings. But all of VRAI’s engagement ring designs are secure and crafted to last a lifetime. The elevated sides and setting in a Cathedral, however, provide added security.

When looking down at a Cathedral ring, the featured diamond might appear larger because of its slight elevation. When looking at a Cathedral from the side, the arches are visible and the center stone is noticeably raised.
