Accent Stones in Rings and Different Settings Used for Accent Stones

Rings are of many types. In solitaire rings, you find only a single center stone on a plain band. However, there are other rings as well, for instance, engagement rings that have accent stones along with a center stone. Why are accent gemstones used? Well, they increase the sparkle and brilliance of the ring. Jewelers even add accent stones of different shapes and colors to change the overall look and style of the ring. Accent stones are the smaller stones that are placed beside the larger center stone in a jewelry piece in order to enhance the overall aesthetics, volume, and beauty of the jewelry. It is not necessary for the accent stones to be diamonds – they can be a variety of other precious or semi-precious stones. Generally, their size ranges between 1 mm to 5 mm (in diameter) which is why you can say that they can range from tiny to moderate, usually set together closely. If you talk about diamond engagement rings, diamond accents are found in trillion cut, baguette cut, or small round diamond shapes.
