Three Stone Rings (Past Present Future)

Although many couples still go choose the time-tested solitaire ring, another wonderful option for those looking for a symbolic piece is the three stone, or past-present-future ring. Three-stone engagement rings hold an unexpected significance in comparison to the conventional solitaire ring, and can recount the narrative of your life together. The three stones that make up the ring speak to the past, note the present and introduce the future. The stone that speaks to the present is dependably the greatest and is the focal point of the three stones at the center. The stones that sit on either side symbolize the past and the future. Another way of looking at the three stone design is that it can kinship, love, and constancy. Three stone wedding bands are additionally normally known as a set of three or trinity rings.

Three stone rings can be done with all diamonds, all gemstones or a combination thereof. For example, if you are looking for the most classic option, one would choose an all diamond three stone ring. Some couples will choose a birthstone as a center stone, or a precious gem like sapphire or ruby, and then set diamonds on either side. Round is the most common shape gemstone used, but oval and princess cut are beautiful options as well. Classic prong set styles with simple basket or trellis style basket settings are often seen. More unique ring may have bezel or semi bezel set gems. The bezel setting is a nice option since it gives the stones extra protection. The open basket settings are also excellent choices since the light can come into the stone and the stones generally look much brighter. The center stone is usually the larger of the three stones and the side stones are often accents. Often times, the weight of the two side stones is equivalent to the weight of the center stone. This will result in a nicely balanced ring design. For instance, if the center stone is a half carat, then the two outside stones are one quarter carat each.
