Three stone rings are a very popular option for couples searching for the perfect engagement ring. Besides just more diamonds and more sparkle, there is a special and meaningful reason why this ring setting is so popular! Rich with symbolism and personal significance, check out some of the reasons why a three stone engagement ring could be perfect for you!
Symbolism
Three stone rings are beautiful in design, but taking a look at the deeper meaning behind them makes them even more special! Three stone engagement rings are designed with the intention of each stone representing a different thing.
The two most popular theories are that the three stone engagement ring stands for the past, present and future of a relationship, or also they can be interpreted to mean friendship, love and fidelity. It is a significant representation of your past memories, the current moments you’re living through together and an imagined future filled with love and happiness.
Three stone engagement rings also offer couples more options for customization. The two side stones of the engagement ring can be customized to be the two birthstones of the couple, creating a new metaphor of them coming together in love and matrimony.
Different designs
Traditionally, three stone engagement rings are made with symmetrical shapes like round cut or princess cut diamonds. The side stones are larger than normal diamonds you might find engraved in a setting, but they are not as large as the center stone, creating a tiered effect. You can even find three stone engagement rings in a combo halo design.
However, if the perfect engagement ring for you features a different diamond cut, don’t fret! Three stone engagement rings can be made with fancy cut diamonds that are asymmetrical too. A good rule of thumb to follow is to pair symmetrical center cuts with symmetrical side stones and asymmetrical center cuts with asymmetrical side stones.
