Looking for diamonds for a 3 stone Trellis style ring

Hi Danny, I’m hoping that you can help me select some F-color, SI-1 clarity diamonds for a 3 Stone Trellis style engagement ring. I know that I want the center stone to be around a carat in size, but I’m not exactly sure what size the two accent diamonds should be, nor the best way to go about selecting them and arranging to have them set in the ring. Any insight you can provide will be appreciated. Thanks! – Steven G.

Hello Steven, the three stone trellis setting from Brian Gavin is a classic beauty which I think looks amazing with the accent diamonds being somewhere between one third to half the size of the center stone. I searched through our diamond inventory and think that this 1.021 carat, F-color, SI-1 clarity, Brian Gavin Signature hearts and arrows diamond is perfect for your needs, and that it will look amazing set between this matched pair of 0.41 carat, F-color, SI-1 clarity, Brian Gavin Signature diamonds which I found using the search for matched pairs feature provided on the Brian Gavin web site.

All three of the diamonds have been graded by the American Gem Society Laboratory (AGSL) with an overall cut grade of AGS Ideal-0 on their Proprietary Light Performance grading platform, which uses Angular Spectrum Evaluation Technology (ASET) to measure the brightness of the diamonds and determine how they are making use of the light which is available to them within the room.

In addition, these diamonds exhibit a crisp and complete pattern of hearts and arrows, which delivers more brilliance, dispersion, and scintillation than diamonds which are not cut to the extremely high level of optical symmetry that is necessary to produce this pattern. A recent study published by the AGSL indicated that diamonds cut to higher levels of optical symmetry produce a higher number of virtual facets, and exhibit larger flashes of light (sparkle) than diamonds of comparable proportions which lack optical symmetry.

Speaking of proportions, all three of these diamonds have proportions which are within the center spectrum of the range designated for the zero ideal cut proportions rating by the AGSL, this is essentially the “sweet spot” and is widely recognized as producing a higher volume of light than “ideal cut diamonds” which are cut to the outer edges of the proportions criteria.
