Cora Split Band Engagement Ring Setting in Platinum
Want to customise this design?
Our expert jewellers create stunning custom designs — from subtle modifications to completely bespoke creations.
Crafted with Intention
A Modern Classic. Refined Brilliance. Enduring Love.
The Cora embodies timeless sophistication with a contemporary twist — a unique diamond engagement ring design hand-finished in premium 950 platinum. Every curve, claw, and contour reflects Monroe Yorke’s devotion to artistry and detail, creating a setting that feels both modern and eternal.
The signature split band design gracefully divides, leading the eye to a refined crossover setting, where the platinum claws intertwine to form an elegant cradle for your certified centre diamond. This sculptural detail adds depth and movement to the design — a symbol of two paths intertwining into one shared journey.
Glittering accent diamonds adorn each side of the band, adding a subtle shimmer that enhances the brilliance of the ring without overwhelming its purity. The Cora is available with natural or lab grown accent diamonds, ensuring that every version reflects your personal values and vision of beauty.
This ring is sold as a setting only, with accent diamonds included but without the centre stone. Complete your ring by selecting your perfect certified natural or lab grown diamond from our curated diamond database using the “Add Centre Diamond” button below.
Why You’ll Love It
The Cora is where minimalism meets grace. The platinum’s natural white lustre enhances the fire of each diamond, while its strength and density provide a secure, heirloom-quality foundation. Every angle — from the polished split band to the crossover claws — is designed to capture light beautifully, creating a ring that shines as brightly as your story.
A unique engagement ring that bridges classic and contemporary style, the Cora will remain as timeless as the promise it represents.

Request Changes ›Frequently asked questions
Does the price include the centre diamond?
No — the price shown is for the setting only, hand-finished in your chosen metal. After you confirm this setting, we'll take you to our diamond search where you can select a GIA or IGI certified centre diamond — natural or lab-grown — that fits this design.
What centre diamonds fit this setting?
The diamond search will be pre-filtered to show only compatible stones — no guesswork, no returns for fit. Check the 'Compatible Diamonds' tab above for exact shape, carat, cut, colour, and clarity specifications.
When will my ring ship?
Every Monroe Yorke ring is hand-finished to order. Standard lead time is 6 weeks from the moment you confirm your centre diamond. Our dispatch days are Monday through Thursday — if the calculated date lands on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday, we dispatch on the following Monday.
Can I customise this ring?
The metal and karat are standard options — just select one above. For custom modifications like a different claw count, wider band, hidden halo, or mixed metals, book a free consultation and our master jewellers will quote the variation.
Are lab-grown and natural diamonds both certified?
Yes. Every diamond we supply is independently graded — GIA for natural diamonds, and GIA or IGI for lab-grown. The original lab report is shipped with your ring.
What if it doesn't fit?
Complimentary resizing within the first 60 days. Not sure of your size? Select 'Not sure' when ordering and we'll include a complimentary ring sizer.
