3 stone e-ring owners, any regrets???

[whitby_2773]

Steph72276 - i LOVE your ring - so elegant! can you pls tell me the stats on the stones? i just love the proportions!

luvmyhalo - my husband, being the sensible man he is, got me two engagement rings - one in yellow gold and one in platinum and....BOTH are three stones! i love them! when i was (much!) younger, i used to work in a retirement village to earn money while i was at university. a number of the ladies there had rings from the 1920''s and 1930''s that were three stone rings, and i fell in love with them. to me, they''re a beautiful piece of jewelry, rather than ''a rock in a setting'', and i think they''re the last word in romantic.

but that''s personal taste, and some people will say - "why split the love between 3 stones, when you can have just one extra special one?"

but for me - it''s three stones forever

Nope, no regrets at ALL. It''s the style I''ve always loved and wanted, and I will never change it, there''s simply nothing else I would rather have.

Sundial your ring is stunning! It''s so nice to see you and your sparklie back with us again!!

Thank you MissG! I have pretty fond memories of that three stone beauty of yours and do you still have that magnificent Memoire five stone band?

You do have a good memory! Yes, I still have the Memoire band and I''m still loving it everyday - thanks for asking!

Thank you so much! The stats and more pics are in my SMTR thread https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/my-new-ritani-three-stone.83095/ , but in case you don't have time to look, the center is 1 carat and the sides are .20 each and then there are little surprise diamonds around the center stone for a total of 1.5 ctw.

Whitby you lucky gal! What an awesome hubby to take it upon himself to buy you two!

DandiAndi, that is gorgeous! It love that each stone is set in 6 prongs. So classic!

Steph - I didn''t see the surprise diamonds before. OMG, that is so pretty, I LOVE IT!!!!!

CBS - Wow, I love all the pave on the shank. That''s what I want!!!!!

MMT - Thanks for asking! The shopping trip was kind of a bust.

The local B&M''s didn''t have anything with sidestones that were large enough. And they didn''t have anything with pears. I did have one B&M give me a quote to modify my ring to add pear sidestones but he was cookoo for cocoa puffs!

His price was reeeally high but I knew it would be.
In a week or two, I''ll drive into LA to see more. I may even order some more fakeys online so I can wear them around a bit.

i hope you''re still enjoying it every day

luvmyhalo- funny lol

... about the car thing.. I agree.. thought about getting a new car.. but I would love my $$ to go towards my ring fund too! I''ve never had a three stone.. not sure, they sure are gorgeous.. who knows maybe I''ll end up with one... I''ve had solitair, and now sidediamonds. I sometimes miss the simplicity of the solitaire vs having the side diamonds. but I also don''t really miss the stacking rings up.. solitaire, wedding band.. so many choices ehh?

I love my three stone sapphire and diamond ring, I didn''t realize initially that the diamonds would help draw attention to the center stone rather than over-shadow it, but when we saw the stones first put together it just clicked
