Three Stone Rings

[Drewjax]

Hi All,

Just started researching three stone rings and would like some info on the difference between Raidiant and Princess cut? (is it just the facets).

Also what is an ideal ratio in size for the centre stone to the side stones?

thanks

Everyone has different preferences on the proportion of the side compared to the middle stone. I don't know any thing about princess or radiant cuts, but for round some say the side stones should be 30-40% of the center, others say 40-50%, and even others say <30% so as to not overshadow the center.

Check this DeBeers ring designer tool out to see how the proportions look:

It doesn't hurt to ask several jewelers on what they think. Good luck on your search.

BTW, as you can see from my avatar, I went with the 50% look cuz my FI wanted the DeBeers three stone look.

Some examples. Here's one with 10:1 proportions.
