Just arrived. GIA circular brilliant- starting a new obsession with old cuts.

[Dmndsr4evr11]

Here she is. H SI1 circular brilliant. Totally eye clean. Thanks to all who helped especially @Dee*Jay who looked at it in person for me . So kind.

So crisp and white! Looks much sharper and whiter in person. So hard to take pics of diamonds. She’s small but mighty at .60. Thinking of doing a 3 stone with bezel setting. Need to find 2 matching smaller stones and where and how to start. Would love a DK setting.

Pretty!

Very very pretty! I'd check in with Ivy & Rose, Old World Diamonds, Jewels by Grace for side stones

Thanks, @Cerulean. Guess I should have asked Ilya at Ivy and Rose for 2 other stones to match this. What size do you think would be ideal?

 

[wildcat03]

So pretty! What size side stones? I think David Klass can source OECs. (Actually, I know he can because of a pending project!)

Thanks, @wildcat03. Looking for suggestions as to what side stones would be ideal. .30 ? 0.35?

Hmm - size is tricky. Do you like it when there is a larger or smaller size difference in the center / vs side stones?

For example, I like smaller side stones on me. I wear a 7.5, and have a 1.3 carat center, and ~0.25 (each) sides. If you like this ratio, you'd probably like 0.12-0.15 sides. DK could probably easily source OECs this size! Just make sure you get a similar, high color (H/I)...which can be a little rarer.

My center is an E and the sides are slightly warmer (I'd guess one is an F, the other a G), but because they are smaller it doesn't really matter much to me. I am also crazy color sensitive, but the small difference here doesn't bug me and I find it charming.



Here are some 3-stone ring threads - I would look and figure out your ratio preferences...a lot of people like 1:2:1 (which is that classic size ratio for Tiffany's 3 stones)

3-stone ring Girls - are you out there?

I thought I'd start us a thread. 3-stone rings seem to be a bit less 'popular' than the large door-knocker solitaires (though there's nothing wrong with those, either!!)...so I thought maybe some of you would enjoy playing in this sandbox with me... Here is mine....it currently resides on my...

I actually think smaller would be ideal, but it's all in your visual preferences. There is a good graphic with 3 stone ratios floating around somewhere.

Thank you. I think I like the 70-76% ratio.

I looked at your links, @Cerulean. Thanks for sharing. I think I don’t want the sides too big or too small. I tried to put my filigree ring with a 0.25 ct OEC (my very first taste of OEC) and I think I like that size for side stones.

Thanks, @foxinsox. A filigree ring with a 0.25ct OEC had me mesmerized. Slowly going up in carat weight haha. I am in BIG trouble. I am loving the old cuts. So different from MRBs.

 

[Dmndsr4evr11]

Ohhhh it’s so pretty!!!

Thank you.

It is great that you can see them side by side. I think that proportion would be lovely!

What a beautiful stone!!!! @Dmndsr4evr11 congratulations for another beauty!

love your 3stones half bezel ring @Cerulean!!!!

 

[dmack]

My avatar ring is .25/.5/.25. I mocked up some PowerPoint slides using circles to get a sense of proportion when deciding - very simple but helpful!

Love that proportion and your setting. Did you purchase all three stones together? Where did you get your setting, if I may ask? I am torn between a milgrain bezel or open setting. Thank you.

 

[Sprinkles&Stones]

Wow, look at those facets! that's a lovely stone, can't wait to see it set!
