MemberHello Bees,
I was wondering what size of shoulder diamonds to get in proportion to the center diamond. We are thinking of getting an e-ring custom made. The center stone will be a princess cut halo probably .5 carat- 1 carat. What size shoulder diamonds should we get??
Pictures of your 3-stone rings and diamond sizes please 🙂
Member@jfair: i like side stones to be anywhere between 25%-50% of the centre stone. i guess it also depends on how large your centre stone is and how much you want it to stand out.
i have a 5 stone oval ring and my centre stone is 2ct and my side stones are .75ct each and then .25ct each. i like the progression in the sizes.
what are you thinking about getting? princess side stones too? are your side stones going to be halo as well?
Member@mypinkshoes: Thanks! the shoulder stones will be princess cut as well but they will not be halo. That was kind of the proportion I was thinking. Just not sure is .25 would be too small with a 1 carat center?
Member@jfair: i guess it would also depend how large the halo is going to be. a prong halo or full bezel halo?
Member @mypinkshoes: The halo is going to be small. The custom ring will be very similar to Tacori 2622PRMDP 
Member@jfair: that’s lovely. that’s what i was picturing. i guess you also have to decide on the proportion of the band vs side stone too.
MemberI have a round centre stone with pear sides – the centre stone is 0.45 and the pears are a third of the size at 0.15 each. I think the proportions are great but I also think that the pears face up quite big.
Membermy center stone is about .5 carat and the sides are about .25 carats each.

centre 1.02, sides .53 each (size 8.5 ring). I wouldn’t have gone bigger in the side stones as it takes it away from the centre stone. That ring is really pretty, I’ve never seen a halo on just the middle stone. If I didn’t have my larger shoulder stones I would of considered this style!
MemberThanks everyone. I think i look the look of about 50% for the side stones!
MemberMy ring is Amora moissanite, but that doesn’t matter for the purpose of this thread. The center stone is a 1.0 carat diamond equivalent, and the side stones are 0.5. When my fiance and I custom designed the ring, the ring guy told us that the 1:2:1 ratio is a good ratio for a three stone ring.
Member@jfair: that is one beautiful ring!i don’t like halos but that one is so delicate that i love it!
Member@DrRx: Beautiful, I am considering getting moissanite instead of diamonds as well!
