We get it: when it comes to shopping for something as everlasting as an engagement ring, trying something new might be the last thing you want to do. Sure, you’re up for experimenting with a new lip color or workout class—but a diamond engagement ring? Not so much. As the saying goes: if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
At Jean Dousset, we sometimes agree with that sentiment. We are in the business of timeless diamond jewelry after all, and our heritage (one where our founder, Jean Dousset, is the great-great-grandson of Louis Cartier (yes, that Cartier)) drives us to approach the art of jewelry craftsmanship with old-world expertise and high-jewelry-level attention to detail.
Still, despite our role as a keeper of some traditions, we’re always looking to rewrite the playbook. And our best-selling Elle lab diamond engagement ring collection is a bold and contemporary testament to our commitment to innovation. Breaking all the rules in the best of ways, Elle is an exclusive Jean Dousset design that evokes eternal elegance with an artistic approach never executed before. She’s defined by a matchless double prong setting that showcases an unobstructed view of the lab diamond center stone from not just above, but below, as well—where stems of the ring’s band fluidly intersect, leaving the bottom of the diamond strikingly visible. It’s no wonder Elle has become a coveted design amongst brides-to-be who value modern individuality as much as they do timelessness. Keep reading to see our three favorite Elle engagement rings.
