Frequently Asked Questions

What is a three-stone engagement ring?

A three-stone engagement ring is just that–an engagement ring with three stones! Typically, the center stone is larger than the two side stones. Browse our gallery of three-stone engagement rings.

How do I pick side stones for my engagement ring?

After you have settled on the shape for your center stone, look into what side stones complement that shape best; each diamond shape pairs well with different side stones. If you’re not sure which shape side stones pair well with your center stone, watch our YouTube video or read our blog!

What should I look for when selecting a radiant cut diamond?

Radiant diamonds were created with the purpose of introducing the brilliance that was lacking in square or rectangular shaped diamonds such as asscher and emerald cut. Due to their brilliant faceting, radiant cuts are more forgiving to imperfections than its step cut counterparts. We would leave the minimum color at J and minimum clarity at SI2 only if the diamond is clean to the eye. For an elongated radiant cut diamond, an acceptable length to width ratio would be 1.15:1 all the way up to 1.40:1. For a square radiant cut your ratio is going to be in the range of 1:1 and a little above.

What are some popular shapes for side stones next to a radiant cut diamond?

The most popular side stone option for a radiant cut diamond is trapezoid. If you’re looking to maximize brilliance, opt for brilliant cut trapezoids. If you’re looking for some contrast, consider step-cut trapezoids. Other than trapezoids, tapered baguettes are also extremely popular for radiant cut three-stone rings.

Can side stones be set east-west?

Yes, side stones can be set east-west. Pear-shaped diamonds, baguettes, and bullets are almost always set east-west when chosen as side stones. Even if you choose a different side stone shape, there is nothing stopping you from setting it east-west.
