Three Stone Diamond Ring (Diamond Size Difference)

[Anarkali]

Hello,

I'm creating this 3-stone diamond ring. I already have the center diamond. What so ever, I've been looking for a matched BLUE pear diamond PAIR (natural origin). I haven't found any 95-100% matching pair this far. I've contacted several diamond companies as well, so they are searching for me.

The closest "matching" diamond PEAR PAIR I can find are these two:
3.20 x 2.68 x 1.76 mm
3.57 x 2.87 x 1.85 mm
- Measurements by GIA.

They will only be side-diamonds (1 side + 1 center + 1 side). Do you think the size difference between them will show when mounted, or not? I've also sent a request to the store regarding recut (to make them matching - but they cant answer my requet until next week).

On the one hand, they are both itty bitty so it would be less noticeable but on the other hand, one is 10% longer than the other. That is a significant difference and I'm afraid I would notice.

My concern too. One is 0.12 ct and one is 0.10 ct. But I dont know if removing 0.02 ct would make them matching? I've been looking for a bigger pair as well but with no success.

Go by the physical mm measurements, not carat weight. If the surface area difference is more than 10%, it will be obvious even though both stones are small.

Okay, thanks for your response!

Size differences aside (and the advice above is sound!) they look very....um.... grey to me. Like not blue at all... sorry

They are graded Blue by GIA.

Can you bezel them? If you have a thick bezel, it can cover up more of the larger one and less of the smaller one, so the size you see is the same.

Good idea without having to alter the FCDs.

That's actually quite smart! But wont the bezel "edge" be thicker on one of the sides (that show)? And each table of the diamond will look different because one got a bigger table than the other one?

BTW; Leibish & Co., is searching a Blue matching pair for me at this time.

Here's a sample picture of how I want the ring to look (center diamond (natural origin)) = 1.03 carats);

Despite what the certificate says, I am also worried that the blues will seem very grey next to that delicious green.

Sorry, GIA has graded them to Fancy Greyish Blue, so that might be correct!

 

[minousbijoux]

I have to agree with the others that they do appear quite greyish - almost equal parts grey to blue - so be careful in your contrasting colors.

 

[Anarkali]

Anyone got any suggestion or idea which color would suit the Green diamond best?
D-F diamonds, Blue, Pink, Purple, Yellow, Orange, Gray, Green?
Fancy; Light, Deep, Intense, Vivid?

The tables will look different - but I would be so reluctant to cut away some of a blue diamond, I could tolerate that, haha. But if done right, the bezels should appear the same, the diamonds would just take up different amounts of space underneath the bezel. So, like, on the smaller diamond, the bezel wall would be very thick and only a thin lip of metal would be holding it, but on the larger diamond, there would be a longer lip of metal over the top, and the wall on the side would be thinner. I don't know if I'm explaining this in a way that makes sense.

By the way, I LOVE that greenish-yellowish center diamond.

Just as part of color theory contrasting colors on a color shell always make the other most noticeable so the opposite of a green would be orange. I would say orangy pink or the opposite combo would look pretty amazing!

Yes, of course! You are totally right! My brain were out of function for some seconds, LOL.
And thank you!

Hmm... would that be the same as a "color wheel"? If so, the opposite color of Yellowish Green / Green is; ORANGE, PURPLE, and RED.

The other thing I've found that is important to me is that saturation levels match up - that is, something with strong saturation like your yellowish green in my opinion would not look as good with stones of lower saturation levels but want something of equal color intensity to match it. Does that make sense?

Yes, it make sense to me actually. I think you mean the saturation and richness of the color should match (even if it's different colors).

Exactly what I mean!

 

[Anarkali]

Actually.. it's really something between a Yellowish Green diamond vs. a Yellowish Orange.
It's just like ... "POPP!"

New samples;
Fancy Vivid Yellow Orange, Fancy Vivid Purple Blue, Diamond Color "E".

personally im a fan of a center stone being color and thesides being white, so i like the last set you have there. I also think yellow gold would probably be attractive. But if you prefer color, i think a yellow gold with yellow side pears would be really pretty

I'm afraid the diamond would look more Yellow with Yellow gold, as the diamond is Yellowish Green. Yellow gold would probably alter the yellow, and not the green (opposite effect of what I want).

I do have yellow, white, and rose (pink/red) "gold" sheets. So I will place the diamond on them and take a look.

 

[Niel]

is green gold an option?

 

[Anarkali]

is green gold an option?

No, I use only 1 jewelry maker, and they do only got yellow, white, rose gold, and platinum

I personally like the orange and green. How about a nice intense pink pair? I think pink and green look awesome together.

Left = Fancy VIVID Purplish Pink
Right = Fancy INTENSE Pink

Must say the left one looks best. I think it has something to do with the Purplish undertone as well as it's a very saturated color.

 

[sphenequeen]

I think you can even go with a softer pink color...

How accurate is the colour of your yellow green pear? I also like a more blush pink pear sides.
