Side diamonds for a three stone ring

[kmklos]

I bought a beautiful 2 carat round diamond based on all my new found knowledge from PS. Thanks to this forum for my education!! I love my stone, but I''m now thinking of turning it into a three stone ring. Can someone tell me what size stones I should consider to put on each side. Half a carat each??? Bigger??? Smaller??? Is there a desired range when it comes to the proportion of the center stone versus the two side stones?

Also, my 2 carat is an AGS ideal (0) cut and an I in color though it faces up nice and white. Should my stones be of similar cut quality, meaning a 0 as well. Could I get stones rated 1 or 2 by AGS or similar from GIA? Would I notice a huge discrepancy?

Thanks all for your thoughts.....

Personal taste...

Some like sidestones to be about 1/2 the diameter of the main stone to make it more pronounce. Others use bigger stones. Cut wise I would want it to be the same cut.

I personally love side stones with a diamond but as for size everyone is different. I want my center stone to stand out so I have .30 pointers (if I remember correctly) with my 1.77 Rb. With a 2ct..I think .50ct is fine but like I said it''s all up to the individual.

I have a 3 stone ring. 2ct centre, 2 x .5ct side stones.

Here's a 3-stone ring thread with lots of sizes to look at!

Hi All!
Congrats On the two carat Kris!
Since you went for an AGS0 stone in the center...IMO go for AGS 0 side stones- maybe even try to match the table size.
I''d say the range would be from .50ct on each side- which might seem a little small to some- to 1.00ct one each side, which will be HUGE.

Can you go any place to look at some side stones in these sizes...got a pair of studs?

Here is a chart with proportions for you.

I like the sides to be smaller so your center can shine. My center is 1.67 and my sides are .255 each. I can find the link if you want a better look
