Frequently Asked Questions
Not always! While some side stone designs can be more intricate and, therefore, pricier, you can also find beautiful and affordable options. Consider the size and number of accent diamonds, as well as the setting complexity, to find a ring that fits your budget.
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to how big the side stones should be on a side stone engagement ring. It depends on several factors, including:
- Center Stone Size: Ideally, the side stones should complement the center stone without overpowering it. A good rule of thumb is to choose side stones that are half (50%) to two-thirds (65%) the size of the center stone in diameter.
- Your Desired Look: Do you prefer a subtle halo effect or a more dramatic display of brilliance? Smaller side stones create a delicate halo, while larger stones add a bolder and more glamorous look.
- Setting Style: The setting style can also influence the perceived size of the side stones. Shared prong settings, where a single prong holds two diamonds, can make the side stones appear slightly larger.
- Budget: Larger side stones naturally cost more. Consider your budget and prioritize the size of the center stone if necessary.
Adding side stones to an existing engagement ring is risky. Modifying the setting can weaken the ring and damage the center stone. Matching new diamonds to the original is also tricky.
Consider these alternatives:
- Stacking: Pair your ring with a side stone wedding band.
- New Ring Design: Work with a jeweler to create a new ring with side stones using your original diamond.
When it comes to engagement rings, personal preference reigns supreme! While a big engagement ring can make a statement, it’s not for everyone.
Here are some things to consider:
- Her Style: Does your partner typically gravitate towards bold or more understated jewelry?
- Lifestyle: A big engagement ring might be impractical for someone with an active lifestyle.
- Budget: Big engagement rings often come with a bigger price tag.
