A side stone setting engagement ring is the right choice when anyone who wants more visual interest than a solitaire offers without going as wide as a three stone. It is one of the most considered decisions in the design. The setting changes how the centre stone reads more than almost any other variable.
Why a side stone setting
A side stone setting flanks the centre diamond with one or more smaller accent diamonds on either side. It sits between a clean solitaire and a fully-fledged three-stone. Extra sparkle without overcomplicating the design. Anyone who wants more visual interest than a solitaire offers without going as wide as a three stone.
