14K White & Yellow Three Stone Ring Setting

This three stone setting marries classical symbolism with contemporary precision, featuring a central oval axis designed to receive a sapphire, ruby, emerald, or other fine gemstone, flanked by trapezoid diamond side stones that articulate the design and reinforce visual balance. The three stones traditionally represent past, present, and future, lending the ring a narrative quality that makes it an exceptional choice for an engagement or anniversary piece. Trapezoid diamonds are cut to provide clean faceting planes that sit flush against the center stone, directing light toward the heart of the composition, while the four prong crown for the center stone ensures secure elevation and optimal light return. Available in 14K and 18K rose gold, white gold, and yellow gold, in two tone combinations of white and yellow, and in Platinum 950, the setting accommodates a range of aesthetic preferences, from warm rose gold for a vintage sensibility, to cool white metals for maximum color contrast with colored gemstones.

From a technical perspective, this custom made setting is designed for collectors and informed buyers who value gemological standards. For side diamonds we recommend GIA graded stones where possible, with color and clarity selected to complement the center gem rather than overpower it, trapezoid diamonds typically graded within the near colorless to colorless range for white metal mounts, and clarity chosen to be eye clean at typical viewing distances. For center stones, sapphires and rubies are varieties of corundum with a Mohs hardness of nine, offering exceptional durability and a history of heat treatment to enhance color, with origins often traced to Sri Lanka, Madagascar, or Myanmar. Emeralds, while prized for their saturated green from sources such as Colombia or Zambia, commonly display natural inclusions and are often oiled, which is an accepted and disclosed treatment affecting valuation. Understanding these factors permits informed choices about cut, carat distribution, and provenance, enhancing long term value. The joy of finding this ring setting comes from the ability to create a unique and personal expression of love, through considered selection of metal, center gemstone, and trapezoid diamond accents, resulting in a piece that is both emotionally resonant and technically sound.
