A Sprinkling of Diamonds...
These ring designs are winning over more hearts than ever and here's why we are loving them too...
1. Unique Aesthetic Appeal
Cluster rings allow for a much broader range of designs, in fact, if you're after a style that nobody has seen before then it is the perfect choice for you. This is down to the fact that there are so many elements you can personalise. Shape, colour, quantity of stones.. to name but a few.
These combinations reflect a growing consumer preference for personal, less traditional styles that stand out. Customisation is what we specialise in and we love our customers working alongside us to create the perfect ring.
2. An alternative centre stone
You'll often find the principle stone is no longer favoured to be a white diamond. Customers prefer being less traditional and it's often more affordable. Moissanite, salt and pepper diamonds, sapphires, and tourmaline are all examples that we have recently sourced. Smaller diamonds can then be used as 'scatter' stones around the design to create contrast and sparkle. If you like the idea of a coloured gemstone or diamond feel free to book a consultation and we can explore some gorgeous options.
4. Symbolism & Sentimentality
Symbolism and sentimentality can be the key feature of a ring design. Whether its a meaningful gemstone or a child's birthstone, cluster rings are a beautiful way to bring various stones together in one. The setting itself can also be part of the sentiment, with the metal forming a particular shape or the stones being arranged in a way that means something to just you and your loved ones.

Sustainability and Ethical sourcing
Cluster designs also lend themselves to repurposing jewellery. Have you inherited a piece of jewellery? or are there pieces in your jewellery box you no longer get wear out of? Cluster designs can be made up of various shaped and sized stones and its quite often what makes them so unique and wonderfully a-symmetric. We can explore initial ideas with sketches and then engineer CAD designs and resin moulds to demonstrate life-like replicas. It's the perfect way to reflect a more mindful and less wasteful luxury.
Modern consumers—especially Gen Z and millennials—are highly conscious of ethical sourcing and sustainability. As cluster designs are built up of multiple smaller stones, our customers also like to explore lab grown diamonds and synthetic gemstones. Ultimately, its your decision.
