Our Side Stone Engagement Ring Collection
Discover the luxurious details and features behind our range of engagement rings with side diamonds.
Signature Bercotts Settings
We offer several setting techniques to highlight the side stones in an engagement ring. These are some of our most popular options.
Channel Setting
Diamonds sit flush within the band’s metal walls, creating a smooth, continuous surface. This style is ideal for active lifestyles, offering durability and protection. It features a modern aesthetic where light reflects across the side stones.
Claw Setting
Individual prongs elevate each stone above the band, maximising light entry from every angle. This timeless technique creates exceptional brilliance and fire, showcasing dramatic flashes of white and rainbow colours while ensuring each stone remains secure.
Mini-Claw Setting
Smaller, delicate prongs create a streamlined look while keeping the stone secure. The subtle metalwork draws attention to the diamonds for a refined, diamond-focused aesthetic.
Pavé Setting
Also known as the grain technique, tiny metal beads secure each diamond closely together, creating an uninterrupted flow of sparkle. The minimal metalwork produces a dazzling surface that catches the eye from every angle.
We also offer bespoke styles, allowing you to express your individuality through unique details that hold personal meaning.

FAQs on Diamond Engagement Rings with Side Stones
Our clients’ curiosity guides us. Explore answers to some of the most common questions about our diamond jewellery.
What is the difference between a trilogy and a side-stone engagement ring?
The key difference between a trilogy and a side stone engagement ring is in the way the diamonds are highlighted.
- Side stone engagement rings: Accent diamonds on the shoulders enhance sparkle while the central stone stays in centre stage.
- Trilogy engagement rings: All three stones are visually prominent. Even when mixing shapes, such as an oval flanked by pear-shaped diamonds, none overshadows the others.
Are lab diamond side stone engagement rings cheaper?
Yes, lab-grown diamonds tend to cost 30–70% lower than earth-mined alternatives.
