Lab-Grown Cushion Diamond Cathedral Engagement Ring
This lab-grown cushion diamond engagement ring combines timeless cathedral architecture with a refined reverse tapered shank. The center stone—a brilliant cushion or rectangular lab-grown diamond—is secured in a four-prong setting that maximizes light return and showcases the diamond's soft, romantic sparkle.
The reverse tapered band narrows gracefully as it approaches the center stone, creating a flattering contour that emphasizes the diamond while providing comfortable everyday wear. The cathedral setting elevates the diamond above the band, allowing light to enter from all angles and creating the architectural drama this style is known for.
