18K Yellow & White Three Stone Ring Setting

This three stone ring setting celebrates the past, present, and future by presenting a dominant center gem flanked by two brilliant round diamonds, offering both symbolism and balance. The design accepts center stones such as sapphire, ruby, emerald, or other fine gemstones, and is available in a full range of metals including fourteen karat rose gold, eighteen karat rose gold, fourteen karat white gold, eighteen karat white gold, fourteen karat yellow gold, eighteen karat yellow gold, platinum nine hundred fifty, and two tone combinations in fourteen and eighteen karat white and yellow mixes. For the educated buyer the selection of center gem and side diamonds is central to value, sapphires and rubies prized for their saturated hue and high refractive indices, emeralds valued for their rare green and often origin specific character from Colombia, Zambia, or Brazil. Gemstone clarity and treatment influence both beauty and price, emeralds commonly show characteristic inclusions that are accepted by connoisseurs and often given clarity enhancements, rubies and sapphires typically graded on color intensity and whether heat treatment is present, provenance such as Burmese rubies or Kashmir and Sri Lankan sapphires can materially affect market value. The side diamonds are round brilliant cuts chosen to maximize scintillation, and we recommend GIA grading for reliable color and clarity metrics, a practical balance for everyday wear is G through H color with VS to SI clarity grades, which preserve sparkle while optimizing value.

The bezel setting is executed with a smooth metal border that encircles each gemstone, offering superior security and a streamlined profile that reduces snagging while enhancing durability. To maximize light performance despite the protective bezel rim, this setting employs precision CAD design and hand finished under gallery cutouts that open the pavilion to incoming light, polished inner bezel walls that act as reflective surfaces to return light into the table area, and a minimal lip geometry that cradles the gem without unnecessarily masking the crown. For step cut or emerald cut centers the bezel is tailored to the stone geometry with angled facets on the inner bezel to complement the gem planes and encourage longitudinal light return. The round side diamonds are micro bezel set to expose the table and bezel cup, preserving fire and scintillation. These construction techniques, combined with choice metals such as dense platinum nine hundred fifty for long term durability or rich eighteen karat gold for intensified hue, create a ring that is resilient for daily wear, technically optimized for brilliance, and meaningful through its three stone narrative.
