The brilliance of a fine diamond ring is the symbol of your joy and commitment to your loved one.

Buyer's Checklist of Three Stone Jewlery

Below are some guidelines that should be followed before you buy three-stone diamond jewelry:

• If all diamonds are white, the color grade difference between side stones and center stone should not be more than one. Some brilliant cut side stones appear brighter than others, so take this into account during color grade selection for your three-stone diamond jewelry.
• If side stones are smaller than center stone, then a good rule of thumb is: the width of the side stone should be 2/3rd to 3/4th the width of the center stone.
