Lab Grown Side Stone Engagement Rings FAQ
A side stone engagement ring keeps the center diamond as the main focus. Smaller accent diamonds sit beside it or along the band. A three-stone engagement ring uses three main stones, with two larger stones framing the center.Source: Jewelers Mutual: What Is Timeless Jewelry?. GIA: How to Buy a Three Stone Engagement Ring. GIA: How to Build Your Own Engagement Ring.
Oval diamonds pair well with pear, half moon, or tapered baguette side stones. Round diamonds work with round, pear, or baguette accents. Emerald and radiant center diamonds often pair with tapered baguette or trapezoid side stones for a clean shape.Source: GIA 2025 Oval Cut Diamond Guide. GIA 2025 Round Diamond Engagement Ring Guide.

Side stones should frame the center diamond without taking attention away from it. Compare the visible width of each stone in millimeters, not only its carat weight. The center shape, finger size, and desired finger coverage will affect the right proportion.Source: GIA: How to Select Diamond Side Stones. ELLE 2026: Cassie’s Three Stone Engagement Ring.
Side stones do not need the exact same grades as the center diamond. Their color should look close when the stones sit together. Smaller side diamonds can have a lower clarity grade if they look clean and sparkle well.
Channel and bezel settings protect more of each side stone and are less likely to catch on clothing. Well-made pavé and prong settings can also work for daily wear. Choose secure prongs, smooth edges, and a band that is not too thin.
Choose a straight wedding band when the center setting leaves enough room beside the side stones. If a low basket or large side diamonds block the band, the two rings will not sit flush. In that case, choose a curved, contour, or open wedding band for a closer fit.Source: BRIDES: Engagement Ring Settings Guide.
Center stone carat weight counts only the main diamond. To find the total carat weight, add the center diamond and all side diamonds together. A 1 carat center diamond plus two 0.15 carat side diamonds gives the ring a total carat weight of 1.30 carats.Source: GIA: Nine Things About Diamond Carat Weight.
Small lab grown side diamonds usually do not have separate grading reports. The larger center diamond may come with an IGI report, while the smaller accent diamonds are matched by size, color, and clarity. Check both the center diamond weight and total carat weight before buying. However, we will provide an IGI certificate for any diamond with a single stone larger than 0.5 carats.Source: GIA: Melee Diamonds. IGI Lab Grown Diamond Report.
Leonids offers custom options for many side stone engagement rings. You can request changes to the side stone shape, stone size, band width, or setting height. Metal options include 14k yellow, white, and rose gold, with platinum available and 18k gold offered upon request.
What defines a side-stone engagement ring
A side-stone engagement ring features a center diamond supported by smaller diamonds along the shoulders or band. These side stones guide the eye toward the center, giving the ring a brighter, more dimensional feel than a classic solitaire. Many choose this style because it adds detail in a subtle, balanced way.
If you’re comparing styles, our solitaire engagement rings offer a clean single-stone look, while our full engagement ring collection shows all available settings.
Side-stone styles at Leonids
Within this collection, you’ll find pavé bands, baguette side stones, and twisted-band designs. Some pieces are delicate with a thin shank, while others feature more structure with matched stones framing the center diamond. Each ring is hand-set by our craftsmen and made to order in small batches to ensure precise placement and long-term durability.
We primarily work with 14k gold, with platinum available and 18k gold offered upon request. If you want a different metal or need to change details like band width or stone size, our team can help. Just reach out through the contact page or chat.
Diamond shapes that pair well with side stones
1. Oval side-stone engagement rings
Oval diamonds pair beautifully with pavé or baguette accents. Their length creates a smooth, elongating effect on the hand. For more variations, explore our oval engagement rings.
2. Radiant and emerald side-stone rings
Radiant and emerald cuts create a clean, structured look when paired with geometric side stones. These combinations feel modern while keeping the outline minimal. You can view similar shapes in our radiant and emerald collections.
3. Round and pear side-stone rings
Round diamonds gain width and balance from side stones. Pear shapes benefit from the added symmetry near the shoulders. Both offer a refined, softly sparkling profile.
Carat freedom and center-stone presence
Because Leonids is a factory-direct studio with no middlemen, you have more flexibility when choosing larger stone sizes. Side-stone settings work well with one to three carat center stones. They add presence to the ring while keeping a clean look. Many customers enjoy the ability to explore higher carat ranges without sacrificing cut or clarity.
Materials and craftsmanship
We use lab-grown diamonds selected for their cut, color and clarity. Each ring is crafted in 14k yellow, white, or rose gold, with platinum available and 18k gold upon request. Settings are finished to be comfortable for everyday wear and shaped with refined details that create a quiet luxury feel.
Our rings are hand-set by skilled craftsmen, ensuring secure pavé or prong settings for both the center and side stones. If you'd like to personalize your design, our team can assist with metal changes, band adjustments, or custom side-stone variations. Start a request through our contact page.
