A Custom Three Stone Diamond Ring: From Design to Setting

May 17, 2021

The Customer’s Brief

This original project story describes a customer who wanted a three stone diamond ring with specific stone and band proportions. The workshop photographs and computer images preserve the process, from the mounting design through setting and finishing.

The Stones Recorded in the Original Story

The archived account lists a 4.06 carat center diamond graded E color and VVS2 clarity, with side diamonds totaling 1.25 carats described as E color and VS1 clarity. These are the specifications recorded in that story, not a new grading assessment or a current offer for sale.

Reviewing the Shape Before Production

The account describes changes to the shank taper and side stone selection, followed by a printed model and customer approval. Computer views help communicate proportions, while a physical model can reveal fit and height. Confirming those details before production gives the jeweler a clearer design to work from.

Setting and Finishing

The original project used platinum, according to the archived account. The bench photographs show work on the setting and polishing before the finished ring was presented. For a new project, discuss the design, stone documentation, price, timing and revision stages with the team; this past example does not establish unlimited changes or a universal schedule.
