The Esme Ring Setting is Molten Store’s considered interpretation of the classic three-stone ring, refined through proportion and a softly sculptural silhouette.

At its centre, a multi-claw setting creates a secure, balanced frame that gently elongates the stone’s form while following its natural contours. Two companion stones sit closely alongside, allowing the composition to read as a single, fluid gesture across the finger. Their minimal settings are integrated seamlessly into the shoulders, maintaining a sense of lightness and clarity around the central focus.

A gentle taper through the band draws the eye inward, while Molten Store’s signature Wreath basket sits low and close to the hand, offering both structure and everyday ease without unnecessary bulk. The overall effect is one of quiet harmony, where each element is resolved in relation to the next.

Whether realised with a classic diamond or more distinctive gemstones, the Esme Ring Setting allows the chosen stones to shape its final expression, with the surrounding form enhancing their presence with quiet restraint.

• Available in 9ct, 14ct, or 18ct gold or platinum.

These designs are our distinctive interpretations of the most enduring ring setting forms - thoughtfully designed to allow for meaningful customisation.

Each setting reflects a clear point of view - shaped by proportion, balance, and how a ring is meant to be worn and lived with over time. These are designs refined through experience and resolved with both durability and aesthetic longevity in mind - made to endure in both form and feeling.

While each setting stands complete in its original form, it has been designed to respond beautifully to the stone it holds - allowing the character of each diamond or gemstone to shape the final expression of the ring.

While the stone plays a defining role, the final expression of the ring can also be shaped through considered design customisations.

Whether you’re drawn to the brilliance of a diamond or the depth and individuality of a coloured gemstone, the stone you choose plays a defining role in shaping the overall feel of your ring. Cut, colour, size, and character all influence how a setting is experienced - subtly shifting its mood, presence, and expression.

Our Signature Ring Settings are designed to respond intuitively to this choice. A change in stone alone can transform the aesthetic of a ring, while preserving the proportions and details that define the setting itself.

At Molten Store, this experience is shaped by our Gemstone Library - a carefully curated collection of diamonds and coloured gemstones, including a wide range of Australian, Ceylon, parti, and coloured sapphires, available to view in person or virtually. Seeing stones in real life allows you to notice qualities that can’t be captured on a screen: how colour shifts in natural light, how a stone sits against the skin, and which details quietly draw you in.

These stones have been selected and held over time, offering immediate access to pieces of character and distinction. If you’re seeking something very specific beyond what’s available, our team can also source stones to suit your brief, budget, and timeline.

Beyond stone selection, there is also scope to explore design customisations. Depending on the setting, this may include refining elements such as band profile, stone orientation, proportions, or detailing. These changes are always guided by balance and longevity, ensuring the integrity of the original design remains intact.

Your consultation is an opportunity to explore these possibilities thoughtfully - whether you arrive with a clear vision, or simply ready to discover what’s possible.
