Three stone girls with one carat or less center stones?

[Laila619]

Ladies, do any of you have a three stone engagement ring with around a one carat (or smaller) for the center stone? I've seen lots of huge three stone rings on PS, but I don't recall many with one carat center stones. I am thinking about a reset for my one carat, and I would love to see yours so I can get an idea of what it might look like. Would a three stone with .30 /1.00/ .30 provide a nice amount of finger coverage? Thanks for sharing your pictures and thoughts!

 

[Dandi]

Hi Laila! My e-ring is a .70ct with .37 and .35 side stones, and for my size 5.5 finger I love the coverage it gives! A 1ct centre would be delish

 

[Laila619]

Love it love it love it, Andi! It's gorgeous, and I really like the 6 prongs too.

 

[Logan Sapphire]

I have one similar in size to DandiAndi's. Mine is a .78ct center and .41 and .42ct side stones. 3.75 finger size.

 

[Laila619]

LoganSapph, that is stunning! Lots of finger coverage! I'm so jealous of you ladies with tiny fingers.

 

[Dreamer_D]

One drp used to have one too!

My favourite proportions are either .25 - 1.00 - .25 OR .50 - 1.00 - .50

 

[ihy138]

I do!! It's not my e-ring, but a RHR I have. It's a three stone halo setting. The center is .74 ct and the sides are .25 a piece. My finger is a size 7, for reference. I think it gives awesome, blingy coverage...sometimes I feel like it does moreso than my 1.5 carat center e-ring.

 

[Enerchi]

thats packing a wolup of bling, ihy138!!! Sparkly at its finest!! (is that really how you spell "wolup"?? as in - WHACK O' SPARKLE?)

 

[usnwife]

I have a RHR with 35-80-35. It is plenty of bling for my middle finger, size 7.5.

 

[JuneRose]

Mine is a bit smaller but I really love the proportions -0.15-0.65-0.15 on a size 5.25

 

[Amys Bling]

I have one similar in size to DandiAndi's. Mine is a .78ct center and .41 and .42ct side stones. 3.75 finger size.

I love how it looks paired with the diamond and gemstone bands

I laughed so hard when I read this! Thank you!!! I considered selling/dismantling it for a while...but I can't bear it.


Gorgeous rings, ladies!

Glad I could make you laugh!!! Don't take that baby apart - its AMAZING!! I love it! (Maybe wollup has 2 "l's"? or is it with an "h"? wholup?? Nope - both get red lines. I guess I got it right before... who knew? )

Anyway, your ring is a stunner

 

[PrincessPeach]

For reference I am a size 5, the center stone is .75, side stones are .25

Sometimes I want a plain large solitaire, but my three stone sure gives some finger coverage anyway!

 

[Okie_girl]

Here's mine...I believe the center stone is around .75, and .5 for the sides. I know these are not the finest diamonds, but they are very special to me as they are from my mother's wedding ring. Size 6 on some sausagy fingers.

Okie girl, that's a beautiful and very meaningful ring!! And the setting caught my eye, I love the small bezels holding the side stones, that looks really pretty.

 

[jlp86]

Mine has a .98 ct center stone with .20 ct on each side. My ring also has Micro-pave all the way around. My ring size is 5.75 and I feel it gives a lot of finger coverage.

 

[Laila619]

Your rings are all so gorgeous, ladies!! Drooling over here!

 

[Okie_girl]

Thank you, junebug, it's very special to me! Here's a profile shot of the setting. It's just a stock setting my local jeweler got for me, but I do think it's very pretty.

Laila,

I had bookmarked this page and it`s a 3 stone with a 1 carat center and .33 sides.

Love this ring and the proportions IMO are really nice.

Good luck!

I just love three stones, it really is my favourite style for an engagement style ring, hands down.

Layla, what are you wearing as an e-ring, or will you be wearing? Would this be for an alternative e-ring or a RHR?

In my heart I know I want a three stone for my OEC, but I worry it looks too similar to my Aurora.

I just wear a band right now, because I sold my upgrade stone and my 1 carat FIC Leo is unset. I've been through so many settings and none of them are right. I'm pondering a halo, a simple Tiff replica worn with a huge, blingy diamond band, or a three stone. I used to not like three stones because I think they sometimes look like one big blob of sparkle, but now I like that look and I think the finger coverage is amazing!! But I keep wavering and changing my mind with all the options. I don't care about size so much anymore, I just want a blingy look.

I love the setting your OEC is in now, Dreamer! Do you think you'll reset?

Thanks Cachette, that's a gorgeous trellis!!

I thought it would be two L's as well! Who knew?! Thank you so much for the compliments! I do get taken aback by it, still!

Are you thinking with two smaller OEC's? I think that would be soooo lovely.


ETA: Laila, I didn't mean to threadjack! Can you post pictures of the lovely three stone you have in your avatar?

 

[Laila619]

Hi ihy! My avatar is my Gram's (and now my) 3 stone OEC ring, topic here: [URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/joining-the-oec-club-my-antique-oec-three-stone-ring.167068/']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/joining-the-oec-club-my-antique-oec-three-stone-ring.167068/[/URL]

Get yourself a five stone ring, Layla, either with new stones or setting your current Leo into a five stone (but you would need matching cuts, not?). That is blingy. And you haven't had a ring like that before. I feel like you done the halo and solitaire thing and it didn't float your boat!

My OEC setting is meant to be temp. I like it in many ways, but not in others. It is not a well crafter piece. Maybe I will leave it as it is. Who knows! LOL! I inteded to make a ring for my fifth anniversary to represent my husband and two boys, thus a three stone, but I'm not totally sure. We'll see!

 

[zoebartlett]

Here are two pics of my engagement ring from WF (.92 RB with .15 pear sides. I think I posted that they're .20 each a while back but I was wrong. Oops!)

First up, my favorite pic that Alj took a few years ago. The second one is one I took of both rings today.

 

[Laila619]

Thanks for posting all your gorgeous rings, ladies! I love them all.

Bumping for anyone else...

 

[onedrop]

Laila: Here's my old set with a .83ct center and .25ct each sides...



When I was contemplating setting my stone into a 3-stone setting a searched PS furiously for pics with less than 1 ct. centers also and there were very few of them. Logan Sapphire's and Diamond Dana's rings were my inspirations.

BTW- Thanks for the ring shout out DD!

ETA: stone specs.

If there were a thread that make me sway towards a three stone configuration, this would be it. Very helpful...and persuasive, I should add! Please keep them coming!
