Three Stone Engagement Rings make for a unique display of diamond jewelry. The appearance of a center (usually larger-carat) stone surrounded by a pair of complementary diamond sidestones is elegant and timeless. This setting design is also known as a trinity or trilogy ring, and the trio of stones are intended to represent the past, present, and future of a relationahip. For this reason, it's often chosen to memorialize a special wedding anniversary, but is just as appropriate a choice for an engagement ring.

In addition to the three primary stones, many engagement settings also add pave or channel set diamonds extending further down the band, or shank, of the ring. This creates an even more continuous diamond surface with brilliant sparkle that is impossible to overlook!

Notable celebrities who have received three stone engagement rings include Madonna (from Guy Ritchie) and Camille Parker Bowles (from Britian's Prince Charles.) Settings like these have been popular for generations, and often represent antique engagement ring styles, particularly from the Edwardian era of the early 1900's.

The center diamond in a three stone ring is typically set higher than the sidestones, usually raised with a trellis setting or other construction technique. This emphasizes the larger size of the stone, and adds 3-dimensional depth to the engagement ring.

Depending on your preference, alternative three-stone settings are also available which contain similarly-sized diamonds (usually round or princess cut) set in a row so that no particular diamond is shown more prominently than the others. You can also find five-stone and seven-stone rings designed in the same way.

Because of the visual complexity of three stone engagement rings, they are typically are found in simple white gold or platinum designs. Contemporary settings tend to be simple in style, with minimal additional detail, while antique rings often add halo diamonds and more intricate, lace-like metal details. The versatility of the three stone appearance means it can be tailored to suit a variety of jewelry tastes, and can be beautifully complemented by a diamond bracelet, necklace or earrings.
