"The more the stones, the bigger the smile with a...3 Stone Diamond Ring"

A 3 stone diamond ring is made up of a large centre stone with two smaller diamonds either side of it.

De-beers introduced the three stone diamond rings in the late 1990s.
The 3 stone diamond ring is a symbol of lifelong commitment - one diamond each for the past, present and future of the relationship.

Be cautious while buying a three Stone ring & look out for the following;

* Make sure the center and side diamonds are evenly matched for color, clarity, size, weight and shape.

* If there is an intentional color contrast between the center and side stones, make sure the three stones are all matched.

* Ensure all prongs in any of the diamond ring setings that hold the stones in place are identically sized, shaped, polished, secure and positioned.

* Check that the side and center diamonds are level and secure.
None of the stones should be set too high or low....nor should they look tilted.
All the stones should make an even arc.

* Make sure the inside of the ring is smooth and free of polish marks.

* Make sure the shank of the ring has a smooth finish and that the registered trademarks are stamped on the inside.

* Ensure that the finish of the three stone diamond engagement rings is as good inside the shank as it is on the outside.

It is said the Devil is in the detail. By taking the time to check, you not only get value financially, you also get peace of mind and avoid confrontations if you have to return a ring.
