Wishbone Rings at The Diamond Store

In the world of jewellery, sometimes more is less. Many people today, choose to wear more than one ring on each finger and that is certainly the case when it comes to wishbone rings.

These items are the perfect accompaniment to a solitaire engagement ring as the ‘v’ shape allows the solitaire to sit correctly on the finger and holds it in place.

Unlike with a normal banded ring, the wishbone gives the solitaire diamond enough space so that the two rings are not rubbing against each other.

These wishbone rings are ideal not only for solitaire diamond rings but also for cluster settings and pave set rings.

Wishbone rings can be altered to suit your requirements and your preferences. You can choose from different depths and widths and the ‘v’ shape can be softened if you would prefer.

Wishbone rings are not only suitable to those ladies lucky enough to be engaged to their loved one, but they can also be given as presents. The shape is associated with luck and granting wishes, so they are often given to bridesmaids by brides to thank them and to wish them luck in their future.

Sensational Three Stone Diamond rings available at The Diamond Store

Three stone diamond rings celebrate the past, the present and the future and make for an ideal engagement ring for your loved one. Typically the three stones are diamonds, however it is not uncommon to see sapphires, emeralds and rubies being used in conjunction with diamonds.

Three stone rings contain three stones of similar size set into a ring made from platinum, yellow gold or white gold. Occasionally, the centre stone is slightly larger than the two outer stones which make it stand out and allowed the precious stone to sparkle. The precious stones have been set into the ring using either the claw or prong setting or a basket setting. The basket setting creates a ‘basket’ for the stone to sit in and helps to keep it secure.
A claw or as it is also sometimes known a prong setting however has a small gap between the ring and the stone to allow light to circulate the stone and gives added sparkle to the ring.

Some women would prefer to receive just a single diamond engagement ring but because a three stone ring is so symbolic and shows that you have chosen the engagement ring with such care and attention it would certainly be appreciated.
