SideStoneology

The diamond’s lasting history symbolizes the couple’s unending love; their jewelry should symbolize aspects of their relationship and style. After setting the budget and finding the right center stone, it is time to choose the designing elements to compose the perfect environment that will compliment the center stone and flatter your sense of style. Unlike when choosing the center stone, which is a matter of budget and personal taste, choosing the side stones require extensive knowledge and experience in designing diamond jewelry layouts (or what we call SideStonelogy). Generally speaking there are eight

principal center diamond   and   gem shapes:   Round,   Marquise, Emerald, Princess, Pear, Oval, Heart, and Radiant. Distinctly, in side stone shapes the options are much wider: Trillion, Marquise, Emerald, Asscher, Trapezoid, Half-Moon, Baggett, Bullet, Calf-Head, Cushion, Bell, Shield, Arrow-Head, Kite, Princess, Pear, Oval, Heart, Radiant and more… there are also thousands of layouts and infinite designs. SideStonelogy is not only about choosing the right side stones shape, it also to determine the right size, ratio, cut (Step, Brilliant or Mixed), quality and more.  A Forest SideStonologist will gladly assist you in choosing the perfect Side Stones to compliment your center stone.  For your convenience we have gathered this: SideStoneology 101 - the guide for the perplexed.  If you wish to schedule an appointment with one of our SideStonologist please contact us.
