Q&A: Help Finding a Center Stone for a Yellow Gold Three Stone Setting

Have you any thoughts on purchases through ice.com – can you point me to a review on your site.

I’m looking at this ring, can you recommend a better value elsewhere?

That is in terms of the main ring (with three stones).

Thank you for your help.

……

I had written another question previously, an inquiry about ice.com – I was wondering if it was worthwhile to get a small set of stones with higher quality or larger stones with lesser quality?

(Note that the BN diamond here is a comparable alternative to the one that was here before because that company no longer exists.)

I’m looking for a center stone for a three stone (part of a bridal set) – this link I believe has located: .24 ct, D, IF, Excellent cut.

What do you recommend? Thank you.

Thank you for your prompt reply. Diamond Pro’s service is unbeatable price and helpwise.

I’m very simple, and so is my girlfriend. With this in mind we prefer a simple ring with small sized stones that are higher priced for value. In this sense we are quite different than the average shopper.

.26ct with .15ct side stones?

So yes, a three-stone with yellow 18k Gold, with a matching band (bridal set). Budget is C$5K. Thank you.

That’s a nice looking stone. Can you tell me whether a stone with the clarity you have shown me – VVS2 and G colour as opposed to a IF and D colour, which one is a better investment over time?

Thank you again.

OK, that’s good to know. I thought I might exchange the diamond for a slightly larger one in future for an anniversary.

The links you sent are helpful. I’ll get back to you. Thank you for taking the time to do this.

Also, would you recommend an online vendor for three-stone 18k yellow gold ring?

Should I also go with Blue Nile?
