A single centre diamond can also be complemented by smaller diamonds or gemstones set into the shoulders of the ring, adding subtle sparkle while keeping the focus firmly on the main stone.

When the shoulder stones weigh less than half the weight of the central diamond, the design is still classed as a single stone ring, with the additional gems acting as accents. These accents can take many forms, using shapes that either complement or gently contrast with the centre diamond to create a distinctive and personalised design.

The choice of cut plays an important role in the overall character of the ring.

Many designs keep the same brilliant-cut faceting throughout, maintaining consistent sparkle and cohesion. Others deliberately introduce contrast by pairing a brilliant-cut centre stone with step-cut accents, creating an elegant relationship between the triple gems.

Our team will guide you through how different gemstone cuts interact, ensuring the final design feels balanced, beautiful and uniquely yours.
