Hi All,

I am dying to have a RB 3 stone diamond trellis ring . after reading so many good reviews about BGD ,I would like to try them . within my budget I can get a ( 0.40,0.75,0.40 ) H ,SI2 their signature stones .
at the same time I am really longing for colorless D/E/F stones since the highest I have is a G ( AGS ,WF studs ) .
so I can get (0.30,0.60,0.30 ) E/F ,VS BGD signature stones .

but I am afraid the ring will be too small for my 7.5 finger (I plan to wear it as RHR ).

another option is that I go with another vendor like IDJ and search for D/E/F diamonds and ask for Idealscope or Aset images .

any opinions ?

I think it's worth checking out IDJ and then you can make a more informed decision about the tradeoffs. The price difference may not be worth the extra size...or may?

Have you thought about trading in your WF studs so you can get credit in order to purchase larger BGD signature stones that meet your color/clarity requirements? BGD will allow for trade in of certain ACA's from WF during Brian's tenure there. You can always go w/ a lower color/clarity on studs later on.

I have a 3 stone trellis almost exactly the same size (.78ct center and .41/.42 on the sides). Mine have a pretty large color difference though- center is E and the sides are H.

The one thing I should mention is that you should be sure you like that ratio, where the sides are very similar to the middle. Many people (most, it seems) prefer smaller sides so the center stone stands out.

I agree with this. many people actually think that smaller side stones make the bigger center stone stand-out more and look bigger. Maybe you can decrease the side stone size and up the color??

I do see a slight color difference btwn the stones from the side, but not from the top. And I only see the difference if I stick my eye up to it and stare.
