Three-Stone Rings
The three-stone ring, a symbol of love’s past, present, and future, transcends fleeting trends. While its roots lie in the Georgian Era, it continues to be a coveted choice for its timeless elegance and versatility.
In the 1950s, a classic silhouette emerged featuring an emerald-cut center stone flanked by baguette side stones. This captivating design remains popular, but the modern three-stone ring offers exciting possibilities for personalization.
The three-stone ring’s enduring popularity lies in its ability to blend tradition with modern sensibilities seamlessly. Let DiamondNet be your guide as you explore the endless possibilities of this timeless design and find the perfect symbol for your love story.
The Shape of Forever: Round Brilliance with Elongated Elegance
For decades, the round diamond reigned supreme as the quintessential engagement ringstone. But this year, a new contender has emerged, stealing hearts with its captivating silhouette: the oval diamond. Both offer unique advantages, making the choice a delightful exploration of personal preference.
The Allure of Round Diamonds
With a budget in mind, let’s explore the foundation of your ring’s design – the setting! This encompasses everything besides the center stone, including the prongs that hold it securely, the gallery (the metalwork beneath the stone), and the band itself.
The setting plays a crucial role in both aesthetics and practicality:

Mixed Metal
Looking for a ring that’s as unique as your love? Two-tone rings, also known as mixed metal settings, are a hot trend for 2024. These beauties combine two or more metals, creating a distinctive and stylish look.
The blend of warm and cool tones allows for easy integration into various styles, making them versatile.
But the benefits go beyond aesthetics!
Two-tone rings offer a practical solution. For example, you might love the warmth of a rose gold band but prefer white gold prongs to highlight the brilliance of your diamond. Mixed metal designs let you have it all!
Different Bezel Settings
Bezel settings, known for their security of gemstones, are transforming. While they’ve always prioritized protection, 2024 sees bezels take center stage with a focus on innovative design.
Full Bezel: The OG of bezel settings, the full bezel surrounds your gemstone, offering maximum protection and a clean, minimalist look.
Half Bezel: For a touch of openness, the half bezel cradles the sides of your stone, leaving the top exposed for maximum sparkle.
Open Bezel: This style offers a more daring approach, showcasing the beauty of the gemstone from all sides.
Beyond the Basics
Don’t be afraid to embrace the bold! At DiamondNet, we offer a wide selection of statement rings to suit every taste. Let our experts help you find the perfect ring that reflects your love story’s unique flair.

Rimmed Bezel: Add a touch of drama with the rimmed bezel, featuring a bold metal border that enhances the ring’s overall presence.
Floating Bezel: Create an illusion of weightlessness with the floating bezel, where the metal frame seems to suspend the gemstone in mid-air.
Tapered Bezel: For a sleek and modern look, the tapered bezel features metal that gradually narrows towards the top of the gemstone, offering a subtle yet sophisticated detail.
East-West Elegance: A Modern Twist on Tradition
Looking to break the mold? The east-west setting is a unique trend taking 2024 by storm. This modern twist on a classic features elongated diamonds, like radiant, emerald, or oval cuts, set horizontally across the band.
