What’s trending this season? There has been a resurgence in two stone rings, and a growing request from clients in pear shaped diamond engagement rings. Culture impacts how fashion and style evolves, and I see clients wanting a more contemporary spin on classic elegance as of late. Not only for engagement rings but also for milestone gifts like Anniversary presents or upgrades to an heirloom piece. It’s part of what excites me as a fine jeweler - the opportunity to design pieces you don’t see everyday.
Two stone rings are really versatile, and can be personalized in a variety of ways. So, here’s a few tips to guide your experience working together and designing such a unique piece.
Tip #1: Think big - The world is your oyster when it comes to designing a truly one-of-a-kind two stone ring. You could accentuate a classic diamond with a pop of color like your birthstone, or that of a loved one.
Tip #2: I always consider the proportion on the finger and the lifestyle of the client when we are setting the design to ensure harmony and sophistication without feeling too heavy.
Tip #3: Mix and match: Interestingly, pear shaped stones are often seen in two stone rings. The curvature of the stone is cut in such a way that it naturally lends itself well to being paired with an emerald or round cut. I always say go for two shapes that create some contrast to one another - like an emerald or pear, or pear and round. When two shapes are too close in form (for example, a round and cushion) you can risk them looking like a mis-matched pair.
