D–E/VS1+ rows are design-desk estimates: (setting + IGI-certified center + insured shipping) × 3.15, shown as a ±5% range, using a real 14K three-stone setting quote with small accent side stones. Larger matched side diamonds, 18K gold and platinum are quoted on your specs. The D–E/VS1+ row comes from our ring price estimator.

Three-stone vs solitaire vs hidden halo

2.5ct center, D–E/VS1+, 14K	Complete ring	Source
Solitaire	$2,400–$2,650	Desk estimate
Hidden halo	$2,700–$3,000	Desk estimate
Three stone	$2,875–$3,175	Desk estimate
Pavé band	$3,300–$3,650	Desk estimate

On our estimates, adding two side stones costs about $450–$525 more than a solitaire with the same center. Most of a three-stone ring's price is still the center diamond, so center size and grade move the total more than the side stones do.

Side stone choices

• Pear or round side stones: the classic look; pears point toward the center and add length.
• Trapezoid, baguette or half-moon: cleaner lines next to an emerald, radiant or cushion center.
• Colored side stones: sapphires or birthstones, priced on your specs.
• A family stone: an heirloom diamond can be one of the three; see resetting an heirloom diamond.
