Three stone engagement rings

A Three Stone engagement ring is a setting created to feature three diamonds instead of one. There is a larger center stone surrounded on either side by two ½ carat or ¼ carat diamonds for most styles. For tapered baguette side stones, each side diamond is 1⁄10 carat.

A Three Stone engagement ring can feature three diamonds of the same shape, such as three Emerald in a row — this style is sometimes referred to as a trio. Or it can feature one diamond shape at its center with side stones of a different shape, such as a Pear-shaped diamond center with two side Trillion-shaped diamonds.

When it’s time to buy an engagement ring, choosing the best diamond shapes for your Three Stone setting is simply a matter of personal taste. However, there are certain shapes that are sought after again and again.

A Three Stone ring is perfect for an anniversary gift, as the three stones often represent the past, present, and future of your relationship. They also make great gifts for new parents as the three stones can represent parents and child.  

Popular Three Stone anniversary rings often feature a center stone in the same shape as the original engagement ring, with either the same or different shapes for the side stones.

The best way to find the wedding band that pairs perfectly with your Three Stone ring is to book an appointment with our diamond experts who can guide you through the styles that will fit most comfortably with this engagement ring setting. They advise starting with a Round or Flat band, a petite Eternity band, or the Infinity bands.

Looking down at a Three Stone ring, the diamonds will appear quite large. Depending on carat weight, the diamonds will cover most of the top of your finger and you’ll see less of the band. From the side, the diamonds will look slightly elevated, but not nearly as much as a Cathedral setting. You will likely not be able to see the contoured cusps and a signature low-set sling that hold your diamonds in place.

A Three Stone engagement ring can sometimes be referred to as a Trio or Trinity ring. But most often, a Trinity ring refers to three platinum or solid gold bands interlocked with one another, not a ring featuring three diamonds.
