Three stone rings are an ever popular choice when it comes to engagement ring styles. Apart from their aesthetic appeal, three stone engagement rings are rich with symbolism.
As the name implies, three stone rings boast a center gem accented by two diamonds or colorful gemstones on either side. From modern to antique-inspired, Brilliant Earth’s collection of three stone engagement rings includes something for any taste.
The Symbolism of Three Stone Engagement Rings
Three stone engagement rings’ meaning tells a story. The three main stones featured on these engagement rings symbolize a couple’s past, present, and future. While every engagement ring is imbued with its own special meaning, this beautiful representation makes three stone engagement rings an especially romantic choice. When proposing with a three stone engagement ring, one can reflect with their partner on the love they have shared, the love they share now, and the unique love they will always have for each other.
Three Stone Diamond Rings
Three stone diamond engagement rings often feature round brilliant diamonds, princess cut diamonds, or a mixture of a variety of fancy shaped diamonds. Styles range from simple to intricate, and can include halos or pavé diamond accents and engravings around the band.

As with diamond three stone rings, three stone engagement rings featuring colorful gemstones can also be found in a variety of styles and shapes. Including sapphires, aquamarines, or morganites in your engagement ring offers a gorgeous pop of color, for a look that’s unique to you! You may choose to have your three stone engagement ring feature one colored gemstone exclusively, or you might want to mix and match. Accenting a center diamond with two colored gemstones makes for a beautiful look, and vice versa!

Looking for engagement rings
I Love The Past, Present and Future concept. I have read other comments that others have posted, and I see we have all special beautiful meanings of this 3 stone setting. And the 3 stone setting can be in a ring, necklace, or bracelet. As for an Engagement ring, the past stone symbolizes from the couple meeting, dating, getting to know each other, the foundation. The Present would be the commitment, by becoming engaged and celebrating your love for one another leading up to getting Married, and the beginning of your life together. The Future would be for Happily Ever After.. Your life together as a Married, Committed Couple. Living out the rest of your lives together whether you want to start a family, travel the world, or whatever makes the both of you Happy Always and Forever!! Now with saying all that im only referring to the couple!! not their jobs or careers, how much money they make, if they rent or own a home, nothing financial, lol..
I just love the thought of it
I have a past, present, and future ring for our 50th anniversary. I wear it on my left ring finger…means the world to me!
They’re very interesting.
I love the Antique Scroll Three Stone Trellis Diamond. It looks so amazing it would be a dream come true to have.
I prefer to think of it as two separate people becoming one in the center. The Bible clearly states that a man and a woman marry and become one. This is how I will interpret the two smaller rings and the smaller rings coming together to become the larger stone in the center. I love the idea of this symbolism.
I prefer “Today, Tomorrow and Always”
I love them
