Show me your 3 stone - MMD center with mined sides

[Kh0117]

I’m new to the MMD world and I’m strongly considering upgrading my mined center to MMD. I have a 3 stone set and I intend to reset to the same style. My side stones are .31 ct each and the MMD will replace a .67 ct center. I want to go up to .90-1.1ct. Any advice on how to search for a stone? From the very little research I’ve done, mined and MMD look the same so this shouldn’t be a difficult task, right?

What color are the sides? As long as you get a similar cut, clarity and color you’ll be fine (just like mined diamonds).

I think your search will be the same as for a mined stone in terms of performance/cut etc. You may just need to be mindful of where you source your MMD from as some labs seem to create stones with brown undertones and then there's blue nuance. I think if you consult a reputable MMD vendor then you should find your perfect stone easily.

I am getting my MMD Asscher set in a 3-stone with two small mined MRB I've had lying around. My Asscher is graded L and the MRBs are H/I at least.
