A side stone engagement ring is a type of engagement ring that features a center diamond or gemstone, flanked by smaller accent stones on either side of the band. These side stones (also called accent stones) not only boost the ring’s overall sparkle but also enhance its brilliance and elegance—making the ring stand out more than a single-stone engagement ring.

The most popular side stone types for side stone engagement rings include:

• Round side stones: Classic choice, matching most center diamond shapes and maximizing sparkle.
• Pear side stones: Unique teardrop shape, adding a romantic touch to the ring.
• Baguette side stones: Rectangular step-cut stones, bringing a sleek, modern vibe.
• Oval side stones: Elongated shape, complementing oval or round center diamonds for a cohesive look.

These side stones can be set in popular styles like channel setting (stones nested in a metal groove, smooth and secure), pavé setting (tiny stones closely set, creating a "full sparkle" effect), or prong setting (stones held by metal prongs, highlighting each stone’s brilliance)—all tailored to your desired look and sparkle level.

Yes! For side stone engagement rings, side stones effectively enhance the visual size and appearance of the center diamond. By drawing the eye outward from the center stone and adding layers of sparkle to the setting, they create a "larger overall look"—making the center diamond appear more prominent without increasing its actual carat weight. This is a budget-friendly way to get a more eye-catching engagement ring.
