Collection: Alternative Cut Side-Stone Engagement Rings

Accent stones around an alternative cut have a job the other shapes don't assign: negotiation with an unusual outline. A pear's taper, a radiant's cropped corners — the accents beside these silhouettes are cut and graduated to nest against them, tapering as the stone tapers, meeting the shoulders where the shape allows. Done well, the result is the most tailored look in the side-stone family: a dramatic center with a band of light that visibly agrees with it, rising toward the stone like a runway meeting its subject. The silhouette stays unframed and fully legible — the accents point at it rather than tracing over it — which is precisely how a shape chosen for its outline prefers to be lit.

Luvari's alternative cut side-stone engagement rings are offered in yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, and platinum, with radiant centers of 1 or 2 carats in lab grown or natural diamond, and 1.5 carat pear-cut moissanite. Details can be tailored through the semi-custom process. This collection suits the buyer whose shape came first — and whose accents were tailored to it, not bought off the rack.
