3 stone band ring?

[Taylorbug!]

While searching thru my jewelry box last night I came across a 3 stone mounting that I had forgotten about. (I gave my DIL the diamond for her ering). Anyway, I got to thinking that maybe I should just get 3 new (nice) diamonds to mount in it and wear it next to my yellow sapphire rhr. Where would you go for 3 nice matching diamonds about 1/2 carat size each at a reasonable price?

One more question.....what shape would you use in a 3 stone that will be worn next to a yellow sapphire radiant? I was thinking round or princess. Opinions please?

I would buy three BGD diamonds of top quality, round.

To be worn next to a yellow radiant.. I'd go with a completely opposite, contrasting stone type: three round old europeans.


That way each piece really stands on its own, and since the performance types are so different there's no competition - I think princesses might compete with the radiant because they're similar in shape and performance.

Yssie...where can I find 3 of these that match in about 1/2 carat size?

JBEG and OW diamonds are the first that come to mind for loose stones -

perhaps Singlestone? Fay Cullen has a terrible return policy so I wouldn't recommend, honestly.. I believe Wink can source them too. I think Jon from GOG talked about smaller AVRs in the works in another thread a couple of days ago

Thanks Yssie....I just received 3 diamonds......I am so excited. Now on to geting them mounted.

These were pictures from the vendor....don't have any that I have taken yet.

Oh Taylorbug! Your ring is going to be stunning! I can't wait to see it. An your amazing yellow radiant!! I'm excited for you! Pics please!!

 

[yssie]

ooh They're so sweet!

How exciting! Where did you get the stones from, can I ask? And they're labelled birthday, and I remember your other thread - is this to be part of your celebration?

 

[Dandi]

They are gorgeous!! Oooooh I can't wait to see the finished ring!!

Yssie, Yes they were part of my 50th birthday gift from my dh. I actually bought the stones from another ps member, not sure if it is against PS policy to post where......

Thanks for all your input and support....so excited about my new ring. Dropped them off today with my local jeweler to be set.....2 weeks!

Ahh - I was eyeing that set myself, glad we get to follow them to their new homes!

Yep, she had the pair that were transitional F, VS1 95tcw and the other stone that is .47 oec I, VS1.....Iam soooooo in with the older stones.......I just couldn't help myself. I hope the 3 stones @ 1.50tcw will give me the finger coverage I am wanting. I wear a size 5 1/2 but have long thin fingers....

I can't imagine 3 50pointers not having significant coverage on a 5.5 finger - that's at least a 14mm spread even if they're cut pretty deeply - perhaps more, depending on how the mounting curves and holds the stones, and apparently a size 5.5finger is just 16mm across

Thanks Christina and DaniAndi...I am quite excited.....Love the older diamonds....

Glad to know that.....I can't wait for the ring to be ready.......
