Susan's Engagement Ring

Susan's engagement ring.

This is version 3.0 of my engagement ring. The first version was a Tiffany setting in rose gold, which I wore with two thin granulated rings above and below the engagement ring. I redesigned it after a few years, opting for a masculine-style bezel setting, which I didn't like much. Version 3.0 incorporates a pair of diamond stud earrings I no longer wear.
My jeweler (who's rendered all the rings) added a row of diamonds around the center stone. Of all the versions, I like this one best. The ring has a lot of "show" and looks a lot bigger than it is because of the small diamonds surrounding the center diamond. It gets a lot of attention. Just last week I was waiting in the car for my husband at a gas station -- it was night -- and a woman in another car pulled close and told me how beautiful the ring was!

The details:

Three-stone diamond ring with bezel settings. 2.25 total carat weight.

  • One 1-ct brilliant center stone surrounded by .25 ct small diamonds.
  • Two .50-ct brilliant side stones.
  • White gold mounting.
