What exactly is a cathedral setting?
The most impressive thing about a cathedral-style engagement ring is not how the diamonds are attached, but their height, especially compared with other settings.

What are the pros and cons of cathedral settings for engagement rings?
Whilst this setting is suitable for many diamond shapes, people often choose to pair it with a round brilliant, or more rectangular shapes such as princess or cushion cut.
With that said, an engagement ring with a diamond in a cathedral setting takes a little more time and effort to clean than other settings (such as the channel setting). Dirt and grease can collect between the arches and become trapped within the corners and crevices. But, you don't have to clean the ring yourself. You can get your ring professionally cleaned by a jeweller.
A ring with a diamond in a cathedral setting is also less suitable for daily wear -, as it is easier to get it caught in clothing. It requires more delicate handling and care, a small sacrifice for the exquisite look if it's the right style for you.
