BUILD YOUR RING >Side Stones and side diamonds > Side stones are chosen on the basis of design, never on the basis of trying to inflate carat weight. All side stones are chosen to complement the center stone. Click on the photo below for examles of rings with various side stones. We use more than the standard issue side stones, often finding shape pairs that don't even have a name yet and we also find fancy colored side stones like pink and yellow side diamonds.
