Three-stone rings are seeing a resurgence

Enquiries for three-stone settings, pairing a centre stone with two side stones, have picked up after several years of single-stone solitaires dominating custom requests.

• The style is often marketed around past-present-future symbolism, but the practical driver we see is buyers wanting more visible sparkle without increasing centre stone size.
• Matching side stones to a centre stone in colour and cut adds a sourcing step that a single-stone solitaire doesn't require.
• Trapezoid and half-moon side stones are the most requested shapes to flank a round or cushion centre stone.

Side-stone matching is easier when sourced together rather than bought separately later. Build a three-stone ring with matched stones from the outset, or contact us to source side stones for an existing centre.
