Hi All. I''m new here, but I''m becoming more educated with every post I read.
I have two questions:
First, Is there a general ratio of side stones to center stone? For instance, if I was looking at purchasing two .36ct side stones, what size center stone would be appropriate. I would prefer a more even look but not completely even, as I would like a little emphasis on the center stone.
Second, in general is it cheaper to buy loose diamonds and have a setting made? I was looking at the princess plus 3-stone from Littman''s. I know the setting may be proprietary, but it would be possible to find the setting elsewhere and buy the loose diamonds for less than buying the complete ring?
