Cluster Engagement Rings

Why choose just one diamond, when you can have a cluster of them?! Cluster styles make popular alternative engagement rings for those who like to make a statement. They typically have one diamond or gem as the focal point, with varying sized stones surrounding it, sometimes in a medley of different tones. If the traditional look feels a bit too minimalist for you, then a cluster ring might be the right fit…
