A
three stone setting refers to a
ring featuring three
gemstones. They all represent the past, present, and future of the relationship of a couple. Although they can be bought in several
settings, the more popular
three stone rings are those featuring an invisible
setting, a
pave setting, and a
bezel setting.
A
bezel set
ring is one in which the
diamond is encircled by
metal on each side, extending a touch above the
gemstone’s circumference. The
bezel setting holds the center
stone securely in place. Thus, the
setting is typically fancied by those who wear
diamond engagement rings on a daily basis. However, you can also choose a
three stone bezel set
diamond ring in other styles.
With
pave set
rings, tiny
metal prongs placed close to one another holds the
gemstones in between them. In
diamond rings with
pave setting, the
gems are set 0.6 millimeters below the seat in order to the jewelry piece a uniform look. Even though small
diamonds are used in
pave set
rings, the arrangement gives them a larger
diamond’s look and feel. This
brilliant effect is what tempts customers to purchase the
pave set
three stone rings too.
An invisible
setting, as the name hints, is one that makes the
metal of the
diamond ring less visible. Unlike the other two
settings, no
metal claws or beads are used in invisible set
rings. Instead, the
grooves in each
diamond’s girdle slip into the
metal framework under the surface, making the
metal virtually invisible when viewed from the top.
