How to build a three stone ring online
“My girlfriend and I started out looking at the Trellis three stone ring from Brian Gavin, and both of us really like that design, but just as I was preparing to pull the trigger, we noticed your new collection of engagement rings from the Olympus Collection, and we also like the look of the Aphrodite three stone ring by Brian Gavin. Which setting do you think would look best with a center stone in the range of 1.20 – 1.49 carats? And what is the best way to choose the side stones for a three stone ring? Diamond cut quality and color are more important than clarity.”
Trellis Three Stone Ring vs Brian Gavin Aphrodite
Both the Aphrodite three stone ring by Brian Gavin, and the Trellis style three stone ring by Brian Gavin, are exquisite designs that are quite popular, I don’t see how you could go wrong with either one, but let’s play with the Aphrodite for now since it’s a new design and your girlfriend can be one of the first women to sport one!
Of course when it comes right down to it, you should order whichever three stone ring from Brian Gavin that appeals to her personal sense of style and taste, this is why we offer so many varieties of three stone rings.
Once you’ve decided on a three stone ring design, such as the Aphrodite three stone ring by Brian Gavin, run a search for Brian Gavin Signature round diamonds, and adjust the range of carat weight, color, clarity, price, etc., I think that this 1.301 carat, D-color, VS-2 clarity, Brian Gavin Signature Hearts and Arrows round diamond might be exactly what you are looking for, it offers the highest diamond color possible, and a good middle ground in terms of clarity, and the highest degree of diamond cut quality and optical precision. Just look the stunning the hearts pattern exhibited by this diamond, that requires incredible skill to produce!
The next thing I did was search for matched pairs of round Brian Gavin Signature diamonds, which is slightly different because the sliders for carat weight need to be adjusted to the range of combined total weight created by the pair of diamonds, and not just the weight of each individual diamond.
I started out with a range of D-color to F-color, and a minimum clarity of SI-1, because the reality is that anything in that range is going to look fabulous next to the D-color center stone, but I quickly narrowed down the options to this matched pair of 0.607 carat each, D-color, VS-2 clarity, Brian Gavin Signature round diamonds, which are the same color and clarity rating as the center stone, since that appeals to me from the perspective of keeping things “mind clean” as far as how the primary diamonds set in the ring will match up for clarity and color.
Brian Gavin uses Signature melee that is F-G color, and VS-2 clarity, for the smaller accent diamonds in the ring, but the reality is that is perfectly fine since they are smaller in size, and our eyes tend to be attracted to the larger surface area of the primary center stone and larger accent diamonds, so the slight difference in color is not readily apparent.
