3-stone settings... proportion question!

We recently purchased a 1.51 Oval center stone for my e-ring, dimensions 8.58 x 6.40... which makes it a "fatter" 1.34 ratio. The setting I've had in mind is very delicate... a thin WG band that tapers into a small RB on either side, set in 2 prongs and a partial-bezel where it meets the band. I know that's confusing, but I've had a hard time finding this setting online since seeing it in a jewelry store. I do know that the RB diamonds were listed as .30 total cw, so .15 each. I liked the look when the jeweler held a 1.5 oval over it in the store... but I'm a little nervous it will end up looking too out of proportion with the larger center stone when set. Anyone have a 3-stone ring with a similar ratio between center and sidestones? Or amazing photo-shoppers who would be able to give me an idea of how it might look? I'm attaching a similar setting, but in YG with chevrons instead of the partial-bezel.

The prices listed on their website are substantially higher than what they quoted me in their store, FYI. -~-~- "There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it."

My BF and I did this when we were trying to figure out the sidestones for my 1.44 round center - and we ended up going with .25 on each side. Hope this helps!

I think of smaller sidestones with a larger center stone as being more "accent" diamonds. Sidestones that are larger in relation to the center stone seem more like what I think of as a traditional three stone ring. Both are attractive looks in my opinion, just different. I think that the proportions you have described will be very pretty.

I had a three stone (emerald cuts) and the side stones were 1/3 the size of the center. I thought it looked great. I think you do not want too big, it can compete with the center, and too small, you might as well go with tapered baguettes...but it may boil down to personal preference versus actual set rules... **************************** "There is no such thing as fun for the whole family-there are no massage parlors with ice cream and free jewelry" Jerry Seinfeld
