Please help me to decide which 3 stones ring!!!

[Seeworld]

I reserved a 2ct center stone and now I am working on my ring design.
I already own a solitary so I want a 3 stones ring this time. I really like the 6 prongs look on the center stone but the choices of 6 prongs on 3 stones ring are very limited. After few days of researching online, I narrow down to two designs. Can you please give me some feedback?

Design A My center stone will be round instead of pear shape. I want a ring setting that is timeless but not too simple, my only concern for this design is I may not like it after a couple years.

Design B My center stone will be 2ct (about 8mm) and the two side stone will be 0.32 ct (about 4.5mm). The only con with this design is the wedding band may not sit flush together with the engagement ring, so I may skip the wedding band, even though I do prefer to have the wedding band.

Platinum Gramercy Diamond Ring (3/4 ct. tw.)

In this timelessly romantic design, French pavé-set diamonds embellish the top three quarters of the band, gently tapering as it rises to meet three gemstones secured by sculptural claw prongs.

I am open to other 6 prongs 3 stones ring design as well.

Thank you for reading and any suggestions are welcome

My eye is gravitating towards the Brilliant Earth setting. Are you open to other suggestions or is it down to these two?

Yes, I am definitely open to other settings with 6 prongs for the center stone.

I am now thinking about this combination that I saw on Tiffany, seems like I have to settle for a 4 prongs.

I will say despite these all being three stone rings that they will look considerably different on the hand. For example I tried on three stone rounds with round sides, pear sides and baguette sides. They looked different and had a different flavor. These are the ones I tried on at Tiffany’s a while back ( I also tried on the three stone with baguette sides but didn’t take a picture because I didn’t like the way it looked on my hand )







Are you able to go try on different types of three stones to narrow down which side stones you want? A custom maker like David Klaas, Steven Kirsch, Maytal Hannah etc May be able accommodate your 6 prong request regardless of your side stones. I know Victor Canera has three stones with 6 prongs but not sure if he would work with an outside stone. It’s always worth reaching out to try!

Where is your stone coming from? I didn't think BrilliantEarth set outside stones?

I agree with @Petalouda You need to go try some rings on. I know it's not easy right now due to covid but doesn't seem like
you know exactly what you like/want.

Replying as I've been considering this same question (on a much smaller scale). I would love a 6 prong three stone with the side stones 4 pronged.

While initially I was considering something like the Vatche side profile for the center stone, I found an inspiring enough vintage-y basket setting that sold me. It could easily be made into a 6 prong.
