Got Questions? We Got Answers

What does a three stone engagement ring symbolize?

The three diamonds are most often said to represent a couple's past, present, and future — the center stone symbolizing the present, with the two side stones honoring where you've been and where you're headed together. It's one of the most meaningful, sentimental styles a couple can choose.

Are three stone rings more expensive than solitaires?

Not necessarily. A three stone ring can actually be a smart choice on a budget — you can choose a smaller, more affordable center diamond and let the two side stones add extra size and sparkle to the overall look.

Is a three stone ring suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, as long as it's crafted with durable stones and a secure setting — lab grown diamonds set in platinum or 14K/18K gold hold up beautifully to daily wear. We'd just recommend having the prongs checked once a year and avoiding harsh knocks, as with any fine jewelry.

Do the side stones have to match the center stone shape?

Not at all. Many three stone rings pair a center diamond with baguette, trapezoid, or round side stones for contrast — though matching shapes throughout gives a more classic, uniform look. Either way works beautifully.

Why choose a lab grown three stone ring?

Lab grown diamonds give you the same brilliance and durability as natural diamonds at a fraction of the cost — meaning you can choose a larger center stone or higher-quality diamonds throughout, all within your budget.

Can I customize a three stone engagement ring?

Yes — you can choose your center and side stone shapes, carat weights, and metal to build a design that's entirely your own.

Past, present and future

A three stone ring sets a center diamond between two side stones, a design many couples choose to represent their past, present and future together. The side stones add width and presence, so the ring feels substantial without needing an extra-large center.

Mixing shapes

Classic three stone rings use rounds throughout, but mixing shapes looks fresh: an oval with pears, an emerald with tapered baguettes, or a radiant with trapezoids. Side stones usually measure about a third to a half of the center weight to keep the proportions balanced.

Are lab grown diamonds real?

Yes. Lab grown diamonds are made of pure carbon with the same crystal structure, hardness and sparkle as mined diamonds, and they are graded on the same color, clarity and carat scales. They typically cost 70 to 90 percent less and have a traceable, conflict-free origin.
