Help with Three Stone

[ruffrock]

The stones will be all MRB's, sides will be an accent look.

Please help me choose your favourite and the reasons why.

I'm going back and forth between a halo and a 3 stone.

Not totally sold on a halo.

For MRB stones,
I’d choose WF butterflies over CVB Maria. Both of these are gorgeous designs.
Don’t know if WF sets outside stones - if that’s a hurdle.


Throwing custom /halo out there as a request to opinion on, with out more specific info is too difficult. IMO.

Thank you. The centre stone is 10.8 mm on a ring size of 4.5. Not even sure if I have enough space to even do the three stone, hence the option of a halo.

CVB Maria


@yssie Butterflies, using V2.


All in White Metal

Cathedral halo

Maybe there should be a 4th choice for the poll

I have similar to the butterflies from Stuller and I love it.

I'm in the process of doing a three stone with a 10.35mm center. I posted just this morning that this will only work because I'm doing it in a size 7. I specifically said, oddly enough, that this wouldn't work on a size 4 finger! My sides are almost 6.7mm each, but perhaps you're considering smaller sides? Either way, on a size 4.5 finger, a 10.8mm stone is massive. I think both a halo and a 3 stone setting would look overpowering. But of the two, I'd go halo; you just don't have the real estate to go three stone - unless your sides are tiny, in which case - why bother, y'know? And keep in mind - this opinion is coming from a three stone addict.

Here's a 3-stone I had with a 7.8mm center, 4.3mm sides, on a size 4.25 ring. Hope it helps with visualizing what a 3-stone on you might look like.

I agree that you simply dont have the finger "space" for a 3 stone given how large the center stone is.

Wait - you’re three-stoning Beloved? (Runs to look at thread).

Thank you for your feedback @mrs-b . I know that every one of your beautiful settings have been thoroughly thought out, with a painstakingly level of attention to detail and quality.

Maybe I could ask @allycat0303 to weigh in on her latest thoughts on whether her Leon halo is too much for daily wear?

Thank you for the picture @AnastasiaBeaverhausen. The ring is glorious and the stone proportions are perfection!

The jeweller seems to think I have enough room on 6mm side-stones. Now I'm not so sure.

Thank you for taking the time to answer @AprilBaby . I will need to go and search for your setting.

6mm side stones???? Not a chance. If your center is 10mm, then adding 6 on each side would make it 22mm total, which is enormous.

I mean, I'm sure technically it could be done. But I'd imagine the stones will have to sit pretty high and/or wrap around the finger quite a bit.

Thank you. As I can't change the post, I am now adding a cathedral halo as an option.

Oooo can't wait to see any more inspo pics you may have. And it might be a good idea to start a new thread if you're thinking of focusing on halos for now?

Can’t wait to see your new 3 stone. Will be divine as is every piece you orchestrate.

I made a mistake on my ring size. It’s a 5.

Thanks, @ruffrock. I'll look forward to seeing where you land with this - I'm sure it will be beautiful and all three styles / vendors you've chosen should, I think, be able to address your needs. Good luck!
