Inspired by the interwoven light and shadow of Venice's Palazzo Ducale.
The Design
The Orsini Ducale features six-claws with an interweaving basket design, securing the diamond in a romantic setting that symbolises the merging of two people very much in love. A timeless, truly elegant design that captures the light through every angle of the diamond.
Suited to all diamond sizes. Available in Platinum, 18kt Yellow, White, or Rose Gold.
Italian Inspiration
Formerly the Doge's residence and the seat of Venetian government, the Palazzo Ducale is the very symbol of Venice and a masterpiece of Venetian Gothic architecture. The inspiration for this stunning design, you can see its unique beauty as it comes to life from the play of shadows on the palazzo’s interweaving structures.
This harmony and rhythm is what drew Orsini designer, Sarah Hutchings to create an engagement ring that references these same interweaving patterns, “playing with light beneath the solitaire brilliant diamond creating scintillation and sparkle”. This ring truly dazzles, and is one of the Orsini team’s favourite designs.
Diamond Selection
Each Ducale ring begins with a considered selection of round brilliant diamonds.
We guide you through proportion, light performance, and overall presence — ensuring the diamond sits naturally within the design.
Both Natural diamonds and Lab diamonds are available with certifications, selected with the same attention to balance and refinement.
Every Orsini engagement ring is made to order, with carat weight, metal and stone all adjusted at your consultation to suit your preferences. We also have a wide selection of rings available to view and try on in store to assist with inspiration and selection.

Made to Order
Each Orsini engagement ring is made individually — crafted in our workshop by our master jewellers and diamond setters to the specifications you choose.
The starting point is always a conversation. At your consultation we work through the options together: stone size and quality, metal choice, and any design detail you'd like to adapt. There is genuine flexibility in both design and stone selection, and we take time to understand what the ring needs to be for you.
From confirmation, the process typically takes six to eight weeks. If you have a specific date in mind, please let us know at the outset.

Love Orsini. We've brought all our engagement and wedding rings from there and the team in Orsini are always polite, welcoming and helpful. They clearly know their stuff and love to help with items that are a little more bespoke. When you enter, the service always feels very personalised .....

Sarah has been nothing short of amazing to deal with! She was incredibly patient and the engagement ring she designed was absolutely beautiful! I could never have imagined having an engagement ring so beautiful. It was slightly too big and getting it resized with Sarah was super easy and only took a few days. My partner and I will definitely be back for our wedding bands.
