Side Stones

The most popular setting styles for side stone designs are grain set, channel set and micro-claw. For more information on the differences between these types of settings, read our detailed engagement ring guide here.

Pavé engagement rings are, as the name suggests, “paved” with diamonds. Rows of offset diamonds are set closely together with tiny beads of metal positioned in between to secure them. This setting is all about the diamond, with as little metal visible as possible creating a surface that sparkles and glitters in the light.

Yes, this is a popular choice. Any of the designs you see on our website can be personalised and modified to be made to suit your individual style. That includes substituting any diamond side stone for coloured gemstones of your choosing. We can source a wide variety of stunning gemstones ranging from vivid colours to subtle tones.

It is often not as expensive as you might think to add side stones to your design. The price will vary depending on the size, quantity and quality of the diamonds used, however, we find our customers are often pleasantly surprised with how reasonable the price difference is.
