FACETWIREPrice IntelligenceCathedral rings: settings and full prices compared
Every verified cathedral setting Facet Wire could price on the retailers' own pages — with the full ring total (setting + a tracked diamond) beside it, plus each store's shipping terms and service number.
The band rises in arches to meet the center stone, lifting it the way a cathedral's arches rise — a higher, more dramatic profile.
How to read the totals: every total is a setting price read on the retailer's own page (October 20, 2026) plus a real ≈1 carat lab-grown diamond Facet Wire tracks at that retailer tonight. Ada Diamonds: 1.01 ct Radiant at $1,075 · With Clarity: 1.02 ct Emerald at $404.
Design matches, not same-item claims: settings have no certificate numbers, so cross-store rows compare the same style and design class. The stone half of each total is one specific tracked listing, linked in its row.
Cathedral settings and full ring totals by retailer
| Design | Retailer | Setting price | Reference stone (≈1 ct lab-grown) | Full ring total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Round Cathedral Solitaire Setting component of an Ada-built ring — Ada does not sell loose settings (its own Terms), so this price only exists inside a ring Ada makes. | Ada Diamonds | from $1,350 | 1.01 ct Radiant E VS2 (GIA LG5403904625) — $1,075 | from $2,425 |
| Tapered Cathedral Solitaire SKU 1500120RD/14W · Design verified on With Clarity's site; its price was not captured in our check, so we list it without one rather than guess. | With Clarity | Not captured yet | 1.02 ct Emerald D VS1 (IGI 772674109) — $404 | — |
Friendly Diamonds runs a permanent “FLAT 50%” display — we always show both its sale price and its list price, and totals use the sale price. Brian Gavin prices are bands because the price moves with metal and size variants. Ada Diamonds prices are the setting component of an Ada-built ring: Ada's own Terms say it does not sell loose mountings or set outside stones.

These retailers offer the style, but we have no verified setting price for them yet — so they appear without one, never with a guessed number.

Frequently asked questions
What does the full ring total on this page include?
The total is the setting price plus the reference stone shown in the table — a real lab-grown diamond of about 1 carat that Facet Wire tracks at that same retailer, linked from the row so you can check both halves. Taxes and any shipping charges sit on top; the retailer's own page is the final word at checkout.
Are these the same ring matched across stores?
No — and we label them honestly: these are DESIGN matches. Settings carry no certificate numbers, so two retailers' cathedral settings are compared as the same style and design class, not proven to be the same physical item. The diamond half of every total is a real tracked listing with its own grades and, where the retailer publishes it, a certificate number.
Why do some retailers appear without a price?
We only publish a setting price we actually read on the retailer's own pages. Where a price could not be verified — or where it was unclear whether a shown price was for the setting alone or a finished ring — the retailer is listed without one rather than given a guessed number.
How current are these prices?
Setting prices were checked on the retailers' own pages on October 20, 2026. The reference-stone prices are pulled from Facet Wire's nightly diamond tracking and refresh every night, so totals move with the stone market even between setting checks.
