The cluster ring—especially the classic rosette cluster ring set with diamonds or vibrant gemstones in gold or platinum—has become one of the most sought‑after jewellery designs of the moment. From modern engagement rings to antique jewellery collections, this timeless style is captivating collectors who want something elegant, expressive, and rich with history.

The truth is, the cluster ring has never really gone out of style. One of the most iconic examples is the sapphire and diamond cluster engagement ring worn by Catherine, Princess of Wales.
