FAQs
Does a cathedral setting change how big the diamond looks?
Not from above. Face-up size comes from the stone itself, so this kind of head shows the same outline a lower setting would. What changes is the profile: the gem sits higher and the arches add height, so the ring looks more prominent on the hand. If you want more face-up size, a halo is the tool for that.
Can a cathedral ring have a halo?
Yes. Arches can carry a halo head just as they carry a solitaire, and the pairing gives you height plus extra face-up size from the circle of small diamonds around the center. A hidden halo on arched supports is the subtler version, adding sparkle in profile while keeping the top view clean and simple.
