Platinum Diamond Three Stone Engagement Ring 3.75 Ctw

DESCRIPTION:

Three stones, and the proportions are what make the design work. The center is a round cut diamond of 2.25 carats, described as clarity enhanced, which is a disclosed treatment that improves how its inclusions appear. Two round cut natural side stones flank it and total 1.50 carats between them, so each side stone is roughly three quarters of a carat. That is large enough to be a diamond in its own right and still clearly subordinate to the center, which is the balance a three stone ring either gets right or does not.

The two side stones are natural and graded G to H in color and VS in clarity. Total diamond weight across the ring is 3.75 carats. The frame measures 5/16 of an inch, or 8 mm, in width and the platinum band weighs approximately 11.9 grams.

VS clarity means inclusions are not visible to the naked eye, and G to H is near colorless. Platinum holds three separate stones particularly well because the metal is denser than gold and its prongs are slower to spring open, which matters most on a design where every stone is set individually rather than braced by a surrounding halo. It also stays white without the periodic rhodium plating that white gold requires.
