QuestionI have two 1/3 carat diamonds and recently received a 1.25 carat diamond. I would like to put them all in one ring. I'm having some difficulty bc nothing in the books I've been shown at various jewelers accommodate these size diamonds. I would love to have something custom made and UNIQUE, but I haven't had any luck in finding a jeweler. Do you think that this ring will be too large with these stones? I have medium/large hands. I would prefer 1/2 bezel settings, instead of 12 prongs bc it's more of a modern look, and also we snowmobile, so that means gloves on and off all the time. And I prefer white gold, and although unique, simple. I can't seem to find anyone to point me in the right direction. Comments? Can you direct me to someone in Michigan perhaps?

The balance between the 1/3 cts diamonds and the center 1.25cts should be fine! it will be a beautiful ring as long as color is close for all 3 diamonds. I may suggest a SHARED prong setting which reduces the amount of metal around the diamonds in a 3 stone ring.
Its very nice and not too heavy looking, there are several styles and widths, try going to the Tiffany website and take a look or other shared prong settings.
I would be happy to mfg the ring for you, the cost would be approx.
500.00 in 14kt white gold or yellow gold with platinum being slightly higher since it came down in price recently from 2300/ ounce to 1100/ounce !!! wow what an adjustment.
You can set the diamonds low and if set properly they will not catch on your gloves etc...
