Three Stone Engagement Rings

Three Stone Engagement Rings and Three Stone Diamond Rings

The three-stone ring setting is a classic design for a diamond engagement ring, a diamond wedding ring, an anniversary right-hand ring, or a visually powerful expression of love for any occasion or milestone event. 

Sometimes called a trilogy or trinity setting, a three-stone diamond ring symbolically represents synthesis, harmony, and unity, as well as the marriage of mind, body, and spirit and past, present, and future.

What Does a Three Diamond Engagement Ring Mean?

The ever-popular three stone ring setting is an accurate reflection of your relationship over time. The three stone ring symbolizes different stages of your journey together through life. The larger middle stone signifies the present and where you are as a couple right now. The matched side stones represent how the past and future support and sustain your commitment to a life-long partnership together.

Three-stone engagement rings with side stones are the perfect witness to all the special moments you will experience in the next chapter of your love story.

Build Your Engagement Ring with a Three Stone Setting

Brian Gavin Diamonds has a wide variety of customization options for three stone engagement rings. The three stone setting offers you a broad variety of options for personalization and customization as an engagement ring, wedding ring, or anniversary ring. You can choose the type of metal, and cut and shapes of the diamonds to make your ring unique.

Choose the Center and Side Stones You Want

The traditional and most popular center and side stone choices are three diamonds of the same shape, often with a larger middle stone. However, there are no hard and fast rules. You can be creative and select both the middle stone and side stones in varying shapes or different types of gemstones.

Brian Gavin Signature diamonds are all cut to the high precision standards of Brian Gavin. We put a lot of care into ensuring each diamond sparkles and offers the best light performance. Our wide selection of diamond options gives you the ability to be as creative as you want.

Find the Diamond Shape That You Love 

To emphasize the symbolic significance of this setting, most three stone setting rings use a prong mount with the center stone slightly raised or prominent. 

Many people choose a classic brilliant round-cut center diamond like our Signature Hearts and Arrows diamond combined with oval, pear, or marquise side stone diamonds that point to the center diamond. 

The Hearts and Arrows diamond is a super ideal cut diamond with ideal proportions to offer the best polish, symmetry, and light performance. Your choice of diamond shapes and combinations is limited only by your imagination, taste, and budget.

Choose your Desired Engagement Ring Band

Like any diamond engagement, wedding, or anniversary ring, the three stone setting offers the flexibility of using white gold, platinum, yellow gold, and rose gold to emphasize the whiteness of a precisely cut diamond. While platinum and white gold are common choices, some couples prefer yellow gold or rose gold to complement well-cut diamonds or other gemstones. Choose between 14k gold or 18k gold for different engagement ring styles.

Three Stone Engagement Rings FAQ

What should I know before buying a three stone engagement ring?

A three stone engagement ring is a great choice for your proposal. It has the three stone setting, which holds the center diamond and the two side stones. While a gorgeous diamond, like our Signature Hearts and Arrow diamond, is a great choice, you can put in a colorful gemstone as well. 

Besides our signature Hearts and Arrows diamond, which offers brilliant sparkle, you can opt for oval, marquise, or pear-shaped diamonds as well. 

Picking the right center diamond and accent stones for your three stone engagement ring

The most common size combination for three stone engagement rings is where the accent stones are half or one third of the size of the center diamond. The formula for calculating the ratio between the center and accent stones is dividing the average outside diameter of the accent diamonds by the average outside diameter of the center stone.

Can I have a combination of different stones on the ring?

Of course you can! Whether you want to stick with all diamonds, use only colorful gemstones, or a combination of the two, the choice is completely up to you and your partner. For example, you can choose to have sapphires as the center stone or the accent stones. The sapphire and diamond three-stone ring offers a nice touch of color for your finger.

What metal should I choose for a 3 stone ring?

Brian Gavin Diamonds engagement ring styles offer different metal bands. A 14k versus 18k yellow gold engagement ring is great for brides that love the warm glow of gold. Rose gold is a popular choice for brides that love a fun color and romantic feel. 

An 18k white gold or platinum engagement ring is a classic choice for many three stone engagement rings. The difference between choosing a 14k vs. 18k white gold engagement ring is that 18k diamond rings have more gold content and can appear brighter and whiter.

What are the best diamond shapes for a 3 stone diamond ring?

A classic round cut diamond is a favorite choice among ring buyers for a 3 stone diamond ring. You can also choose from oval, marquise, pear, princess, and baguettes diamonds for the center diamond or accent stones. We offer precision cut diamonds that come in many common and unique shapes to suit the preferences of all brides.

What are the 4 Cs of diamonds?

Brian Gavin Signature Diamonds follow the 4 Cs + 1 of diamonds carefully. The 4 Cs stand for Clarity, Color, Carat weight, and 2 types of Cut – here, cut refers to cut shape and cut performance. Cut performance dictates the volume of light return and the sparkle factor of the diamond.
