This 2.86 CT round lab-grown diamond engagement ring is constructed using a three-stone ring configuration with a round center lab-grown diamond positioned between two smaller round accent diamonds. The three stones are aligned along the band axis to maintain proportional balance and symmetrical spacing. The center diamond is elevated slightly above the accent stones to establish a defined focal position while preserving consistent surface orientation.
Each diamond is secured using prong-based settings engineered to stabilize the stones while keeping the table and crown facets unobstructed. Prong placement supports the circular outlines of the round diamonds without interrupting facet visibility. Open spacing beneath all three stones allows controlled light entry and interaction with the cut facets.
The three-stone layout distributes the total carat weight of 2.86 CT across the center and side diamonds to maintain balanced visual coverage without increasing band thickness. The band structure maintains uniform width and thickness to support stable wear and consistent alignment when viewed from top, side, and profile perspectives.
All diamonds used in this ring are lab-grown and graded according to standardized parameters for color, clarity, and cut. Structural differences between three-stone and single-stone engagement rings are outlined in Halo, Hidden Halo, Pavé & More. Guidance on evaluating round diamond cut behavior appears in the Diamond Cut Quality Guide. Broader engagement ring purchasing considerations are detailed in Lab-Grown Diamond Buying Guide.
