Accents are side stones with a small and simple cut that are used as a side decoration around a piece of jewelry’s center stone. Accent stones help increase the center stone’s overall brilliance and give the jewelry piece added beauty. They can also be used to make the center stone look larger. For example, halo engagement ring settings have shiny, small accent stones that surround the center stone, which optically extends its size and makes it look larger than it is.
