Three stone!

Trying to decide whether to stack eternity bands with a solitaire, or ditch the eternity bands in favor of a 3 stone ring. What do you think?

I vote 3-stone as well, and I’d also pick the thin pave band from the solitaire stack paired with it (if the 3-stone is in white metal, or a similar pave band in gold if the 3 stone is gold). I just made the switch from solitaire to 3-stone as well, and my favorite band pairing so far is a 1.5mm pave just like that! (I prefer to wear the 3-stone alone, in practice, but I like the way this looks aesthetically.)

I love the beaded band with this 3 stone.

Another vote for the three stone!

Am I the only one who is shocked with the responses in this thread? Is there a new 3 stone craze? Where are all the solitaire lovers??!!!

I usually prefer a solitaire but with tapered baguettes..which is kind of a three stone...I love when the side stones are slightly smaller than the center. It looks more cohesive to me. I vote for the three stone!

@karendiben I love the proportions of your three stone..I’m so sorry to hijack this thread but I have to ask. What are the proportions of your diamonds? Thank you!

I’m loving the three stone with the band. It looks gorgeous.

Center is 2.02, sides are 0.52-0.53! I feel like I could have gone a little smaller with the sides, had I been willing to go custom, but the setting I wanted had baskets sized for 8mm center and 6mm sides, and it was already pushing it to make the 5.17mm sides work. The 8:5 ratio is nearly perfect to me—gives the center more presence.

Thank you @karendiben..I had a 2.03
but I sold it. I think yours is perfect!

Oh, I’ve been following! The new one is 3.01, right? (It’s gorgeous!) If you ever decide to set it in a 3 stone, the same ratio would net about 0.82 for each of the sides for you, if my math is right.

Thank you @karendiben..I think the 2.03 center would have been the perfect size for me for the three stone...I’m not sorry I sold it but just a little wistful..

@nala! I’m missing my tapered baguettes..I have to do that setting again post Covid!

 

[Rfisher]

As the original post pictures are shown with stacks?
Three stone.
I might change my mind if they were shown singular.

Idk...I see how much you love to stack and stacking is pretty hard with tapered baguettes! That’s why I think a 3 stone is the perfect solution!

Sorry to threadjack. But a few years ago I listed a tapered baguette ring for sale then got cold feet and pulled it. I'm so glad I did cuz now I still enjoy wearing that ring! Such a classic look.

@nala I love a three stone. I just really love baguette sides. The last setting I had the baguettes were slimmer. It was much easier to stack with it. I kept the setting that has thicker baguettes..You’re right..it was harder to stack. I’m getting that one set with a lab sapphire. I searched all year to find a natural stone..but they’re cut too deep. Maybe that will quench my thirst for the baguette setting. I really can’t have two!

3 stone gives more bling with less busy. Both are pretty though.
