Three-Stone Diamond Engagement Ring

3-Stone Diamond Engagement Ring

Three lab-grown diamonds create a balanced, brilliant centerpiece in this custom engagement ring by San Diego jewelry designer Carl Blackburn of C. Blackburn Jewelers in La Jolla.

The large 3.01 carat Old Mine Cut cushion shaped diamond commands attention, while two .75 carat side stones extend the composition across the finger. Their softly rounded corners lend a gentle contour to the design, with broad facets reflecting light in bright flashes. Paired white metal claw prongs frame the center stone, adding a delicate flourish around its edges.

An 18k yellow gold band brings warmth to the arrangement, contrasting beautifully with the cool platinum settings and sparkling diamonds. Its restrained proportions keep the focus on the three stones while giving the ring a graceful, unified silhouette.

For couples exploring custom engagement rings in San Diego, this design combines the enduring appeal of a three-stone diamond ring with the distinctive character of a Carl Blackburn creation.

Vintage-Inspired Setting

A closer look reveals the decorative details that give this ring its vintage-inspired character.

Fine botanical engraving adorns the shoulders, with thistle-like flowers, pointed leaves, and curling stems traced along the gold. Polished borders frame these motifs, allowing the delicate pattern to stand out against the smooth band.

From the side, sweeping supports form an open platinum gallery beneath the gemstones. Each curve follows the setting upward, creating an airy framework that reveals the diamonds’ depth and makes the profile attractive in its own right.

The shoulders narrow gradually toward the back, where the decoration gives way to an uninterrupted gold surface. This transition balances intricate ornament with simplicity, carrying the design naturally around the finger.

These quieter elements add another dimension to the ring’s visual appeal, showing how an engraved engagement ring can reward attention from every angle.
