 Giving a diamond engagement ring is the primary way for a young man to show a young woman that he is committed to her and to her alone. A solitary ring represents one-true devotion, a public pronouncement made as much as for her as it is for him and for everyone in their lives. Today’s couples are looking at different ways to express their commitment with some choosing his and her engagement rings while others preferring individual variations on a time-honored theme, specifically an engagement ring for her, but with three stone settings instead of one. Trilogy rings, as some call them, are more costly than solitaires but have a value to them far beyond mere price. Couples are selecting three stone diamond engagement rings for a variety of reasons including: Practical Symbolism – To some, three stones represent the three periods of the couple’s relationship: the past, the present, and the future. The past stone serves as a reminder of new love, two people meeting and discovering that they are destined for each other. The present stone represents their current relationship, sparkling and full of hope. The future stone is what is anticipated, a promise that their love will grow and continue through the years. Religious Symbolism – Others view a three stone ring as way to testify of their faith. The two smaller outside diamonds represent the man and the woman, while the larger, center stone serves as a reminder that God is the centerpiece of their relationship. United together, the three stones represent a chord that isn’t broken – jointly fitted together, working as one. Though three stone diamond engagement rings can have stones of equal size, most are designed with a larger, middle stone offset by end stones of equal, but smaller size. A 1.00 carat center diamond can be paired with .25 carat diamonds and some will also include additional diamonds embedded in the channel of the ring. Channel setting diamonds have a flush fit look which accentuates the ring’s brilliance which also serves to prevent the catching and tearing of fabric. Round and princess cut diamonds are the most commonly selected shapes chosen for three stone engagement rings as they appear much more elegant than other shapes. Bands are almost universally made from white gold, platinum, or yellow gold, select metals to complement this class of ring. Three stone rings can vary widely in price something of which is determined by the cut, clarity, color, and weight of the diamonds chosen. A not so basic .25 carat 18k yellow gold or white gold diamond engagement ring retails for about $625 while a 3.00 carat 18K yellow gold or white gold ring will cost about $15,000. Whatever the ring chosen, your three stone diamond engagement ring can certainly be your special way of expressing your love for each other.
