Three Stone Rings with 0.75ct + 0.50ct on each side....

[joelly]

Does anyone here has something like this? I''m curious.

Please share any thoughts, links, and pictures. Thanks!!!

I have one that''s pretty similar- .78ct center and .41/.42ct sides. Having trouble uploading a picture and have to go wake the baby, but you should be able to find a pic if you search my posts. I think DandiAndi also has almost exactly the same sizes as I do too.

hi joelly

i have one which is fairly close - .83 center, with .46/.47 on either side. on your average person this looks like a nice ring and gives pretty good finger coverage, but my fingers are a size 8

i still love it on my hand, but on, say, a size 5 finger it looks fabulous.

here it is...

 

[whitby_2773]

here''s one more with my 3.25mm wedding band. i was out of town when this 3 stone ring arrived, so my husband took some photos for me; that''s his finger you can see.

 

[whitby_2773]

and here''s logan_sapphire''s ring. i love this ring, and looked at it for ages when mine was being made. i wish i had hand shots of her ring, as it would show how nice a ring of this size looks on a more reasonably sized finger! if anyone has hand shots of logan sapphire''s ring, perhaps they could be so good as to post them? i know there''s some out there, because i''m sure i''ve seen them...

good luck, joelly - i think this would be a lovely ring.

Mmm, the more I look at three-stones, the more I like them... and this rings seems like such an elegant size, too!

i have a 1.12ct diamond i''m planning on turning into a 3 stone; planning on putting .6ct stones on each side (so 2.32ctw). i know yours is a 1.11 - so it''ll give you an idea what yours would look like if you turned it into a three stone. i''ve been watching your comments about eternity bands, and i''ve thought you should go the three stone route, rather than overwhelm your gorgeous new stone with a honking great eternity band on the same hand. i think eternity''s look best if the total seen ct weight is about half the ct weight of the engagement ring (ie for a 1 ct stone, i think seeing no more than 1/2 a ct in the eternity looks best). i also think the engagement stone needs to at least 5 x larger than the stones in the eternity. i had 6pt stones in my eternity, and my engagement ring was .25/.83/.25. the .25 side stones were simply too close in size to the 6pt stones in the eternity; there wasnt enough differentiation.

anyway - mine will be done next year. if you''re still in the same place next year ring-wise, i''ll show it to you and you can see what you think. i think it will look killer!

Whitby, i just love your rings - it''s such a classic look! and i wear a 7.5, so i hear ya on the bigger fingers issue - however, your ring gives great finger coverage on your hand! It''s really a nice size....

Whitby, I love your ring. It is gorgeous!!!! I love both of your wedding band, they are both unique and elegant.

We both saw it at a local Macy''s store and my FI said it looks too bulky on my finger (size 5). He will go instead with a 0.70ct + 0.25ct on each side. His jeweler will make it for us. Although FI think its too bulky, I think its magnificent bling and I absolutely love it

. But I have to agree with him because it suppose to be from him. It is so hard to compromise but I have to learn to deal with it at some point, right? I am sure later on I will have to deal with greater kind of compromising thing.

Whoops! I had to go searching for this thread! The traps of working with international ''penfriends''... so often I''m not ''online'', but ''in bed''!!!

I''ll really look forward to seeing the results of your project! It will be very interesting! I take it this is a RHR you have in mind?

It could be a very interesting project for, say, a 10-year anni (to add to the e-ring, making it a three-stone)... but I do adore the solitaire look for an e-ring , and might prefer to go with an upgrade at that time (if I could let the e-ring stone go), or possibly look at, say, a .9 centre stone on a RHR three-stone.

Hey, seeing as it''s a RHR, why not a five stone?

Gawd, all this dreaming of diamonds is kinda emotionally exhausting!!

not RHR - yellow gold e-ring replacement to go with my newly remade original yellow gold wedding ring. we''ve had them recently melted down and remade, as you know, but i dont have anything to go with it. well, not strictly true i suppose; i have my yellow sapphire and diamond ring which i received for Christmas (photos of that are in here somewhere), but i''d like an all-diamond 3 stone on a yellow gold shank. i dont really wear RHR''s - everything gets cycled on my left hand. altho..having said that...i''m expecting another ring for my 25th anniversary in september, and that will be strictly a RHR (jim meyer opal and pink sapphire).

i''m a ring junkie - and a 3 stone ring junkie specifically.

 

[LaraOnline]

Opal and pink sapphire??!! That sounds AWESOME!!

Whitby- that''s my ring. And thank you for the compliment!

It''s very similar to Logan Sapphire''s, as hers is the 3 stone I fell in love with.

Here is a hand shot. It''s a .76 centre and .48 sides on a size 5 finger.

 

[upgrade]

And here is a pic of Logan Sapphire''s ring (hope she doesn''t mind- I loved it so much I saved a pic of it).

 

[whitby_2773]

oops! i do apologize, upgrade!

i am always struck by the difference finger size makes. both yours and logan sapphire''s are a very similar size to mine. mine is sliiightly bigger than LS''s (her''s is 1.61ctw i think) and only the tiiiniest bit larger than yours, yours being 1.72ctw and mine at 1.76ctw. so basically, all three are more or less the same.

but both yours and LS''s look twice as big as mine! i actually think our three photos are the best argument you could ever get for - not upgrading the size of your stone - but, instead - losing weight if one wants better finger coverage!!

seriously - i need to go on a diet...i used to be a 5.5....

(where''s the sobbing icon??)

. But I have to agree with him because it suppose to be from him. It is so hard to compromise but I have to learn to deal with it at some point, right? I am sure later on I will have to deal with greater kind of compromising thing.

Joelly-

I just wanted to reply again to say that if you *really* have your heart set on the .50 side stones, then I would try to talk it over again with your FI. If he wants .25 sides for financial reasons, that''s a totally different story. If it''s only because he prefers the look, then I would try to talk with him about it because it''s you who''ll be wearing it every single day for the rest of your life. I''ve seen many people on this website who settled for something that wasn''t what they really wanted at their significant others'' urgings, only to end up spending a heap more money on an upgrade because they never really loved their rings (myself included). I know it''s a gift from him, but it''s something you''ll wear forever so in my opinion, your vote should be the one that counts. Maybe this could be an oportunity for him to practice compromising?

 

[upgrade]

Whitby- I think Logan is something like a 3.75 if I remember correctly? I would love to have fingers that tiny! You''re right- finger size does seem to make a difference. I love how everyone on PS posts their ring size along with the stats. BTW I LOVE your new 3 stone with your JM band! Gorgeous!

 

[mmom]

This is the engagement ring my son''s ex returned to him over a year ago. He got tired of it sitting in a drawer, couldn''t sell it, so he GAVE it to me!!!! What a guy, huh? It''s 1.85 total carats, center stone is 1.25 c, SI2, color grade G. The side stones are .60 total weight, and VS, color grade F-G.

I''m going to try to sell it for him, but meanwhile I get to wear it!!!!

Hi Upgrade, Thank you for your reply. What you said makes sense. Although I like to have 0.50ct for each side, I do think that it is too much bling for me at this point. I will try to have the 0.25ct on each side first and wear that to see whether its grew on me, otherwise I will let FI know that I want to change the side diamond.

This forum has taught me a lot about wanting a diamond. I never really care for it before FI propose. Now it seems that I want one so badly.

I am looking for advice on the setting for this three stones. Could you please reply my questions on setting on another post? I''d appreciate any help I can get. Thanks!!!

 

[joelly]

I am thinking of an H color ideal cut round brilliant for the center stone but my existing side stones are F color. Should I do it? Will the F color make the H appear yellowish?

Advice pls.

 

[upgrade]

Joelly- my stones are H and I and they look very white, but I can see the colour difference when they''re next to my sister''s E... I think it depends on how colour sensitive you are. I may see the difference but I''m quite sure my husband would not. Cut makes a difference too. Can you see the stones together before deciding? If not, I''d be more comfortable going only no more than one colour grade difference.
