The coronet cluster design is defined as a larger central stone, surrounded by smaller stones, creating a floral-like appearance. Although defined by this floral shape, coronet clusters in different eras present themselves in various ways. For example, in the Victorian era, you will see yellow gold, ornate designs, with occasionally silver settings. Whereas, if we move into the Edwardian era, we see much lighter depictions of the coronet cluster, with finer, more elegant details, enabled by the recent introduction of platinum in jewellery.
