A Modern Interpretation of a Historic Setting
The Eleanor Ring is our contemporary take on a centuries-old technique known as the Georgian cut-down setting. First developed in the 1700s, this approach gathers metal around the gemstone and then cuts it down into a series of fine, sculpted prongs. The result is a setting that feels both structural and delicate, designed to frame the center stone with intention.
Historically, these rings were crafted in silver to hold hand-cut, irregular gems. We have preserved the character of the original technique while refining the craftsmanship for modern wear.
A Refined Material Palette
Our Eleanor design pairs 18k yellow gold with platinum around the diamond. The gold provides warmth and presence, while the platinum adds strength and enhances the stone’s brightness. Together, they create a clean, balanced contrast that feels timeless.
Designed Around the Diamond You Love
The featured Eleanor showcases an elongated cushion-cut diamond, chosen for its soft edges and graceful proportions. It complements the architectural quality of the setting with a look that is understated yet distinctive.
Each engagement ring is crafted specifically for you. Choose your stone, metal, and design details, share your preferences, and a designer will collaborate with you to refine every element and provide pricing.
Quiet Power, Thoughtful Craft
To us, the Eleanor Ring brings several ideas together: beauty rooted in history, craftsmanship that honors tradition, and a design built for everyday elegance. It is a piece defined by subtle details and intentional choices.
