SoHo Engagement Rings

The SoHo engagement ring collection begins with a simple idea: the basket deserves to be seen. Inspired by the hand-laid cobblestone streets of New York's SoHo neighborhood, Jean Dousset reimagines one of an engagement ring's most overlooked structural elements into its defining feature. In every engagement ring for women, individually sculpted gold forms are assembled edge to edge, creating a setting with visible texture, architectural depth, and a distinctive presence beneath the center stone. Crafted with exceptional lab-grown diamonds, SoHo offers a fresh perspective on the solitaire lab-grown diamond engagement ring, where every detail contributes to the overall composition.

Each ring reflects Jean Dousset’s broader design philosophy: original forms and disciplined craftsmanship that allow the designs to stand on their own without the need for symbolic interpretation.

Inspired by the City

Rather than beginning with a familiar setting, SoHo starts with form. Each design originates from an idea, and in the case of the SoHo Collection, it leads toward an entirely new category within the Jean Dousset world of fine jewelry.

Anyone who has walked the streets of SoHo will recognize the irregular rhythm of its historic cobblestone streets. For Jean Dousset, the SoHo Collection introduces a new direction, one that is built around a singular architectural idea: the cobblestone. But rather than using cobblestone as symbolism or reference, SoHo translates its physical qualities into the jewelry’s structure, thereby transforming one of the most overlooked elements into its signature trait.

The collection's distinguishing characteristic is its segmented gold construction. Built from handcrafted gold components rather than a single continuous band, the design echoes the geometry of SoHo's historic cobblestone streets while creating a distinctive rhythm across the ring's surface. Rather than reflecting light like a smooth, polished band, the textured construction produces subtle shifts in light and shadow. The effect is understated yet unmistakable

This approach shifts attention away from ornamentation and toward craftsmanship. Every element serves a purpose, creating visual interest through proportion, precision, and the relationship between each carefully constructed surface.

The Basket, Reimagined

Traditionally, the basket is designed to disappear. It exists solely to support the center stone. But in SoHo, it becomes an essential part of the ring itself. Composed of multiple separate gold pieces, the setting is shaped, layered, and crafted. Rather than disappearing, the construction creates visual interest from every angle.

Visible from the side profile and beneath the diamond, the reimagined basket’s layered construction gives the ring a more sculptural appearance. It’s a thoughtful approach that elevates a traditionally overlooked component into a defining feature. True to Jean Dousset’s guiding philosophy that every detail should contribute to both form and function, the basket supports the center stone without competing with it.

Designed Around The Diamond

SoHo lab-grown engagement rings are available in both solitaire and pavé styles, each offering a distinct interpretation of the collection's architectural language. Whether paired with a clean, polished band or accented with pavé diamonds, the signature basket remains the defining feature beneath the center stone.

Available with round, oval, emerald, pear, radiant, and cushion-cut diamonds, each lab diamond engagement ring reveals a different relationship between the center stone and the setting while remaining unmistakably SoHo.

Every setting is proportioned specifically for its center stone, allowing the sculptural basket and segmented gold band to remain balanced regardless of diamond shape or carat weight. The open construction beneath the diamond allows light to enter freely while showcasing the basket's layered architectural design.
