What is a 3-stone engagement ring?

The 3-stone engagement ring, also called a trilogy ring or trinity ring has a sophisticated vibe. This is a classic style that's been around since the Georgian era between the early 18th and mid-19th centuries and continues to be popular even today. The three gems in the ring symbolise the three dimensions of the couple's journey together—their past, present, and future. It could also stand for “You, Me, and Us”. A modern take on the 3-stone engagement ring is to include the couple’s birthstones.

It comprises a Botswana-mined cushion-cut central diamond flanked by two round brilliants from the Late Princess Diana’s collection.

While the centre stone in such a ring is the largest and is flanked by two smaller diamonds on either side, some couples prefer a 3-diamond engagement ring with three equal-sized diamonds. Three-diamond engagement rings may also be made with diamonds of different shapes, such as round-brilliant, princess/cushion, rectangle/emerald, or pear or marquis-shaped diamonds.

Also popular are three-diamond engagement rings with a central oval or heart-shaped diamond or a ring with diamonds of three different shapes. The size of the diamonds in your chosen 3-diamond engagement ring can be as small or large as your personal preference and budget allow.

Three-stone engagement rings with coloured gems
Three-stone engagement rings do not have to be set only with diamonds. You could make a statement and show off your unique style with a 3-stone engagement ring comprising a ruby, sapphire, or emerald set with a diamond on either side. Or your three-stone ring could feature a central diamond with a coloured gemstone on either side. Another attractive three-stone engagement ring look is a line-up of diamonds, sapphires, or even tourmalines in different colours. You could also make your engagement ring one-of-a-kind with your and your partner’s birthstones and a third gemstone that holds a special significance for you both.
