Hi,

Last month, I jus proposed to my now-fiancee with a 1ct, L, VS2 Cushion (more on the rectangular side). She is happy with her ring and diamond just that she find it not enough finger coverage.

Initiatly I wanted to get her a 3ct Emerald after marriage for an upgrade, but she mention that things won't be the same and that she do not want to 'not wear the cushion I proposed to her'. She wanted to wear the cushion and yet increase finger coverage.
She only wear rings on her left hand ring finger, so if were to ask her to wear the 3ct Emerald on her left ring finger and the original cushion e-ring on her right ring finger is outta the question as she feels uncomfy with so many rings on so many fingers. She just want 2 rings, 1 wedding band + 1 ering on her left ring finger.

The current e-ring is already in a halo setting and hence I can't think of further ways to increase the finger coverage. She do not like 3-stone setting. She prefer something that looks like just one big diamond.

Before buying the current 1ct L, VS2 Cushion, She wanted a 2+ct Cushion but i told her it will look too big on her, hence I kinda force her into accepting the 1ct range. My bad.
Hence, now I wanted to do my best for her and wanted to do the way she wants.
She wanted another two 1ct diamond of different shapes but almost same measurement (a radiant and an emerald).
But I do not know if it is feasible.

Her design now was that to use a invisible setting and combine the current cushion, going to buy radiant and emerald together in horizontal manner and a halo setting surround it. In this case, she can solve the issue of finger coverage, at the same time having her love of different shapes: emerald, radiant & cushion on her e-ring.
Also she think is unique and no one else will have it.
In this case, the ring will looks like a one big diamond from afar.
Do you all think is feasible? Any combine setting pictures to show?

I recall a setting where 6 princess is combine in invisible setting to look like a huge diamond.

This is her current cushion set in vertical manner in a halo.

This are the 3 diamonds we are looking at before purchase of the current cushion.
Her 1ct, L, VS2 cushion is on the right.
She is looking at getting both the radiant and emerald in the pictures to fulfill her ''combined setting''.
How do you all feel about it? Would appreciated some photoshop help to allow me to imagine.

Photoshop help if possible:
Cushion Horizontal set
Emerald below Cushion Horizontal set
Radiant below Emerald Horizontal set
A halo setting merge them up together

If possible can fit on her finger if you do know how to adjust the size of the diamond?

Thanks a million

this wont be what she wants to hear, but i think her current ering is gorgeous just as it is .. can you add to the finger coverage issue with a diamond wedder either side perhaps? the 3 diamond style you suggest would be nice with the halo around, but I personally wouldn''t use such big diamonds on what look like very petite fingers, only my .02 though.
 
Ya, I think it will look very weird, because the stones of different cuts mixing together and one of which is a step cut. Also, the finger coverage of 3 1c stones are going to be much bigger than 1 3c stone.
 
I don''t think it will look like one big diamond if they are 3 different cuts. The step cut won''t sparkle like the others. Plus as Stone says it will be enormous.

What about trillion or half-moon style sides that will blend in with the main stone? Take a look at Leon Mege at the 3 stone or even the 5 stone settings to get an idea.
 
Okay imagine this kind of ring with the sides more level (in the same plane) with the center. Whaddya think?

+1

If she would pick one other shape and get 2 of those to put on either side of her cushion it might look ok. 3 1-carats
plus a halo will be too big if you ask me (like SC said).

Edit - I have to say I love her original ring the way it is. Any chance of upgrading to a single bigger cushion? Of course
youll have to have a new setting also.
 
how bout doing half moons on each side of the diamond

since it'll follow the curvy line of the cushion a bit?
