Casual, every-day 3 stone diamond ring in platinum

[mrs-b]

A while back I had a 3 stone ring somewhat similar to this one. It utilized the same sides, but had a center half the size, so it was more of a wedding band with some flush set stones. The central shape of this one is more shield like, so it looks more like a diamond signet ring.

The sides are 2 x 6pt D/E VS stones, bought from GOG some years ago when they still cut signature stones of that size. They're of an Ascendancy quality. The center is a BN signature cut .63ct E VS1, and there is a 2pt stone at the back. The setting is platinum and quite solid.

It makes a good stand-alone ring; has some bling factor, while still being band-like, and has a very casual feel. I'm planning to get a curved diamond band to go under it, to dress it up and make it more wedding-ish. Worn alone, it's a great ring to wear if you want something with presence, but not too expensive, and something you can wear if you're using your hands - gym, gardening, cooking - or if you work in a profession like nursing, where you need something that won't catch or nick on other people or things. Very comfy ring.

I do enjoy having rings that are sturdy, not too blingy, and rather understated. But I love having high quality diamonds and I truly think small diamonds are just as beautiful as large diamonds if the quality is the same. So this ring, to me, is just as lovely as the larger stones I own. It's nice to have a range of sizes and options.

Ooh, love this mrs-b! It's so simple & elegant!

I really need to pop over for a play date

Of course, that is 'Me' .-)

I LOVE IT
You and I are so alike in style it’s crazy. I just found my mom a soli gypsy set in gold. I of course tried it on and fell madly in love with it and nearly reset my stone I’m a gypsy (I know this upsets everyone)

They are so wearable and aggressively masculine in a way I find appealing.

 

[Niel]

Did dk make this for you it’s giving me feelings again.

 

[mrs-b]

Thanks @Alex T @valeria101 and @Niel -

Niel, yes, DKJ made this for me, though they didn't make the smaller, original band. Both bands are my own design and made to very specific specs.

I COMPLETELY agree with you re the 'aggressively masculine' thing, and this ring is actually a vague copy of my father's original signet ring, made with no diamonds and in rose gold, which he gave to my mother when they were dating. I loved the organic shape, and fiddled around with the design till I was able to implement diamonds for a more blingy look.

This ring would also look awesome, I think, with warm diamonds in yellow or rose gold, and it would be killer with a larger center stone.

I love this! The style walks the line between feminine and masculine. It's a really gorgeous and wearable ring.

 

[mrs-b]

Just to add - apparently I have a slight allergy to my gold tinsel Christmas tree. My hands went red and blotchy from trying to open and arrange the fronds, and a couple of them turned into cuts.

So - a word to the wise. And - seriously - who knew?? Attack of the killer Christmas tree! Ow!

Well don’t hurt poor graces feelings she’s not that low in color she’s a J

My moms is about 6mm and I estimate a g or so, when comparing to my diamond. I don’t mean to barge in on your SMTB but I didn’t wanna make a thread and I just wanted you to see how darn similar it was

Man, that's gorgeous!!

And Grace - my apologies! I actually meant more of the N+ color range, not your beautiful, J-colored self!

 

[mrs-b]

Thanks, @elle_71125 - and I hope you're enjoying your beautiful new Henri Daussi!

Aw, thank you. You make a girl feel special.

I don't know how I missed it but I wanted to add that I LOVE that little diamond in the back. That's such a pretty touch! DK does great work.

 

[LLJsmom]

Love it. So bold and cool, and freakin’ indestructible. Yeah you could totally wear that at the gym and probably lift weights too. You would just bang up the band a bit but the diamonds would be fine.

 

[valeria101]

... it would be killer with a larger center stone.

Do you have certain 'killer' proportions in mind ?

 

[Starfacet]

Mrs-b, your ring is perfectly beautiful/beautifully perfect!!!

 

[Ally66]

So simple and pretty, and I think a curved diamond band would be the perfect complement!

 

[JDDN]

Oh man....this is making me want a gypsy set ring with a large center (has to be in yellow gold due to my YG fever) . I love how your ring tapers to the center stone.....it just works so beautifully. It looks SO easy to wear which I LOVE!!!!

 

[marcy]

Very pretty.

 

[Slickk]

I really love it. I am partial to bezel set though for ease of wear! Enjoy it!

 

[mrs-b]

I agree! I love that it's SO sturdy - but not lumpy or heavy looking. I think I'll get a bunch of wear out of it.

 

[mrs-b]

@valeria101 - yes I do! I have a .95ct stone I might set in this style. I LOVE it!

@Starfacet - thank you so much! I'm so glad you like it.

@Ally66 - Thanks for saying that. I really want to put a diamond band with it, but wondered if it was the right thing for this ring. Thanks for the encouragement!

@JDDN -

Yes! Don't you think that a lot of rings, while beautiful, are just sort of more...formal...that one might prefer? I love casual looking jewelry. Casual, but classy. I love that 'uncluttered' look, if you know what I mean.

And I think a yellow gold version would look gorgeous and very lush! Just saying....

 

[valeria101]

@valeria101 - yes I do! I have a .95ct stone I might set in this style. I LOVE it!

Would you change anything of the current design ?

I am thinking through the details of a somewhat similar ring - the feel of size & shape ... - for a square diamond set with the diagonals accross & along the finger , perhaps up to 7 mm (size 3).

 

[MissGotRocks]

It is very pretty and a carefree ring to wear! There is a lot to be said for a carefree diamond ring!!

very cool ring! I love flush set stones. I also love your old raggedy bunny (I have one too sitting in the closet, cant part with it. My oldest friend!)

 

[Catmom]

Very nice mrs-b! It really is a good thing to have different sizes. It does look substantial as a stand alone ring.

 

[diamondseeker2006]

That's very pretty, mrsb! I absolutely agree that nice quality diamonds are beautiful in all sizes! I still think about getting a smaller diamond for a Van Craeynest setting...that's been on my wishlist for a very long time. I also agree about simplicity. I rarely wear more fancy pieces, even though I appreciate their style or workmanship. I really have to stick to wearable pieces, because I really am dressed extremely casually 98% of the time! So I am very much on the same page of having various sizes for different occasions, and timeless styles have always been my preference, too!

Casual but classy.....that is perfect!! That is what I aspire to be, but probably don't quite fulfill that description . I have the casual down...... I too adore the 'uncluttered look' and it speaks to me aesthetically.

Yes....a yellow gold version....things to think about .

Oh I love this ring!
