Are there any good websites with empty "three stone" settings someone could suggest?
I just can't find anything. My fiance's dad and step mom gave him three stones (his mother's diamond and step mother's 2 sapphires) for my engagement ring and we cannot find a setting that we like or think is special enough. Also I haven't been able to find many settings that are completely empty, most of them at least have the side stones still in them
Please help….
K Money- Of course we know what size the stones are.
I don't know if these would work or not. You may just want to contact a jeweler and put in a special request…this can't be too uncommon. I am sure they would create a setting that would work for you!

you could try http://www.bluenile.ca. That's where my engagement ring came from. Maybe you could call them as well and ask about a custom set.
There custumer service was great my fiance said and the ring is BEAUTIFUL. Better then the pic on the net. Were 100% happy with them.
By the way I LOVE diamonds and sapphires. My engagment ring is one centre diamond and 6 small blue saphires and small diamond on the band.

blue nile is ok…
I like http://www.shaneco.com, as you can even pick similar size/shaped stones to what you have and see how they will look in the setting!

Bluenile has AMAZING empty three stone settings in platinum or white or yellow gold. follow the link and just scroll down a bit past the first few, you could also narrow down the material.

my engagement ring, wedding and and my husbands wedding band are all from bluenile and they are just spectacular.
I highly recommend them. also, if you order a sizer (it'll take about a week to get, you could save an extra $100 on your order…every little saving helps right?)

The problem is that if you happen to find a setting that is empty it is likely that the stones won't fit in it anyways. You really need to have the stones measured by a jeweler and choose a setting that way.
Here is a link to a bunch of 3-stone rings, they are all ordered empty by your jeweler. The company Stuller is like the bible for jewelry mountings and I can't imagine a jeweler not having the book on their bookcase. Chain stores like Kay and Zales will not have it so you need to find a good local independent jeweler to look at your stones and assist you in finding a setting. Most of the rings come in many different sizes to accommodate a variety of stone sizes. There is no pricing unfortunately because it is wholesale to the jeweler only and the prices vary on the price of gold and platinum.

My friend just had her diamonds set into this ring and it came out gorgeous, she is going to pair it with a narrow channel set anniversary band for her wedding band.
