3 Stone Diamond Ring Settings

People often ask me what should be the setting for a 3 stone diamond ring. My answer is, any setting that allows maximum focus on stones, like - prong setting and bezel setting. If you are inclined towards fancy and modern look, then a 3 stone halo diamond ring or 3 stone diamond pave ring are good options. In halo setting ring, all 3 diamonds are encircled by pave set small diamonds in to get a bolder look.

If "dazzle" is the key, then you may look at 3 stone rings with diamonds on shoulders. In this style, core diamond is backed by moderate diamonds on shoulders, adding to the sparkle of the ring. However, in my opinion, side stones steal away the attention from core diamonds. So, think wisely, whether you want more dazzle at the cost of much deserved attention to three primary diamonds.
