Where a halo frames a colored stone, the side-stone ring supports it. Bright accents flank the gemstone at its shoulders or run along the band, drawing the eye to the color — which keeps the view, unencircled and unbordered. The composition works like punctuation: the sparkle is real and visible face-up, but it points at the color rather than surrounding it. For sapphires, emeralds, and rubies, that makes the side-stone setting the middle path between the solitaire's austerity and the halo's embrace — brilliance in the design, hierarchy intact.
Luvari's gemstone side-stone rings are offered in yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, and platinum, with center stones led by sapphires in a range of colors alongside emeralds, rubies, and other fine gemstones, across our full shape range, and accent styles from beaded pavé to channel-set rows. Settings can be tailored through the semi-custom process. This collection suits the buyer who wants their colored stone announced, not decorated — a ring where everything else on the band works for the center.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gemstone Side-Stone Engagement Rings
It is a ring with a colored gemstone center — typically a sapphire, emerald, or ruby — supported by smaller bright accents set beside it, along the band, or both. Unlike a halo, the accents never encircle the stone, so the color meets the eye unbordered. The gemstone keeps the stage; everything else on the ring supplies the sparkle.
Direction — a halo encircles the gemstone, so its color is always read against a white border; side-stone accents sit beside the stone or along the band instead, so the color meets the eye unframed while the sparkle plays support. Buyers who find halos busy but solitaires spare tend to land here: visible brilliance, with the gemstone's hue left intact.
The center stone sets the terms: sapphires and rubies, at 9 on the Mohs scale, wear daily without worry, while softer emeralds reward gentler habits. The band accents sit where hands make contact, so channel settings protect them best and an annual inspection is wise. Treated with ordinary care, the style wears as well as any set band.
Luvari offers gemstone side-stone rings in 14k and 18k yellow gold, white gold, and rose gold, as well as platinum. Center stones are led by sapphires in a range of colors, alongside emeralds, rubies, and other fine gemstones, across the full shape range, with accent styles including pavé and channel settings. Configurations can be tailored through the semi-custom process.
The reversed arrangement — a white center stone with colored accents lining the band — is a genuine style of its own, threading color through the ring while keeping a classic bright focal point. It suits buyers who want color present but not central. Whether a given collection carries it varies, so treat it as a design direction to raise with a jeweler.
