Need help finding a princess!

[yasssss]

Hi everyone,

My best friend is about to have a baby in a few months and since she doesn't have an engagement ring, she wants one as her baby gift! She loves my ring and wants me to help her find a princess as well to set in a three stone setting. Her budget for the stone is between 10-15. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Three stone setting. All princesses? Or princesses with pear sidestones? Trillions? Trapezoids?

What does she want the three stones to be?

Assuming it is all princesses

What I'd get:

$10,000

Sidestones:
I'd have the WF gemologist the 2 best matches among these three:

Gypsy recommendation is great. My sister just purchased a princess cut diamond from BGD with the setting that Gypsy linked above. Her budget was much less but I wanted her to buy the most beautiful she could afford. You cant go wrong with WF or BGD.

Thank you all! I will send this info along to her. I think she was looking at a stock setting that has side stones included, I've told her picking her own sidestones is a much better route. either of these options would make for a drool worthy ring, thanks for your help!

Just realized I never updated this. I showed her this info, and she changed her mind to an emerald! Lol. I told her to search this forum on her own because my very limited knowledge is only in princesses/radiants. I also told her to stick with the vendors that you guys suggested. Her husband also changed the budget, the max is now 10k. she was talking about how she wanted to buy from brilliant earth. I am less than two weeks from my wedding and swamped, so I haven't been following her search but I am curious to see what she ends up with. I'll post it here later if she lets me!
