When one diamond is not enough – Three Stone Engagement Rings

There was a time when the classic solitaire was the undisputed hero when it came to engagement rings. Timeless and adaptable, it has reigned for decades as the first choice in the world of brides to be. However, there is another style and setting that is competing for the number one spot in the hearts of fiancés; the three-stone engagement ring.

Also known as ‘trinity’ or ‘trilogy’ rings, the three stones represent the three poignant steps of past, present, and future within your relationship. Originally designed by the jewelry masters at De Beers, it has fast become an instant classic. Not only is there beautiful sentiment behind the three stones, these settings are also comfortable and have designs that are varied enough to have a three-stone ring suited for every taste.

Variety is the spice of life, and a three-stone engagement ring offers the potential for exceptional variety and creativity.

Just as Simon G’s stunning Duchess ring shows, a setting with three diamonds doesn’t always mean a large ring. This dainty design incorporates two delicate pear cut diamonds and allows the center stone to take the spotlight. Understated and elegant, it is an example of a three-stone ring that achieves simplicity while spotlighting sparkle.

With lowered shoulders and stunning detail, Tacori’s Crescent design allows light to flood through the three diamonds for a look that is fully illuminated.

For the girl who can’t get enough sparkle! Tacori’s Crescent Pavé ring is adorned with diamonds that arch and flow down the band. Using round brilliant diamonds as the principle stones it is a modern twist on a classic and is sure to dazzle.

The three-stone ring is not limited to diamonds; in fact, it is the ultimate opportunity to include a twinkle of color to an engagement ring. Verragio uses deep blue, princess cut sapphires to enhance the center stone in a stunning Parisienne style setting. If you adore colored gemstones, but still want a traditional white center stone, then a trilogy ring is the perfect solution.

If elegance is key in your engagement ring journey, then Tacori’s Crescent Classic will take your breath away. A slim, elegant band is delicately studded with two round brilliant side stones, while the center stone is held in a classic six prong setting. Clean, dainty, and iconic, it allows the diamonds to do all the talking.

As with any search for an engagement ring, finding the perfect trilogy ring is an exciting and memorable journey. With the symbolism of the three stones, it is a ring that is truly wrapped in romance and sculpted with love.

• Narrow down your choices on diamond color, cut, and size.
• Familiarize yourself with designers; each have their own unique quirks and styles and you are sure to fall in love with one.
• Remember the symbolism! The beauty of a three-stone ring is the gorgeous sentiment behind it. Once you’ve popped the question, your fiancé will be anxious to share the romance behind the ring style with all her friends and family.
• If you are marrying in a church and want faith to play a part in your marriage, a trinity ring can also have a very special religious meaning in its representation of the holy trinity.

Most importantly, have fun in your choices: three diamonds really can be better than one!
