Three-Stone Rings – Ideal To Sum Up The Feelings Behind A Relationship
Choosing a ring to sum up the feelings you hold towards a partner can be difficult – how CAN you create a band that reflects your history, present and future together? Why make the difficult choice of picking one gemstone when you can represent your past, present and future with your partner with a three-stone/trinity ring!
Purposefully designed to be highly symbolic, trinity
diamond rings are a fast-growing trend. Modern takes on the classic three-stone settings are a great option if say, you cannot choose between your favourite gemstones or want your ring to create maximum impact. Whether it’s a classically cut diamond flanked by sapphires or an offbeat rainbow stone arrangement, the band can comfortably host three stones that hold personal meanings behind them.
But what are three-stone rings exactly, what is their history and why are they becoming so popular? Let’s take a look!
What are three-stone trinity rings?
Three-stone or trinity rings (also sometimes called ‘trilogy rings’) are rings with three diamonds or other gemstones. The stones can all be the same size but quite often, the centre stone will be a little larger than the two. A trinity ring can be made with more than one type of gemstone – different diamonds or other precious stones – a sapphire in the middle of two diamonds, for example.
The concept behind three-stone diamond rings is to also provide buyers with versatility when choosing a ring to buy for any occasion – whether it’s an engagement, anniversary, birthday or anything else. Essentially, they allow couples a vast range of choice when it comes to picking the
right ring.
What’s the history behind trinity rings?
The inspiration behind today’s three-stone trinity rings is the Irish trinity knot symbol, the triquetra. This was a motif that Celts carved into rune stones during ancient times, eventually being linked together with the Irish shamrock. Saint Patrick has been celebrated for using the three-leaf clover to explain the concept of the Holy Trinity to his disciples, which saw the shamrock become a vital symbol of Irish heritage.
As a result, the same design was used in jewellery – traditional Irish trinity rings were made from metal and had three knots that were twisted from the wire and onto the band of the ring. This is the direct inspiration for the contemporary three-stone trinity ring – set with three precious stones, they have simply evolved from the traditional trinity ring; keeping tradition alive while adding to their history.
Why are three-stone rings so popular?
As we’ve already mentioned, one big attraction towards three-stone rings is their versatility – both in their use as well as aesthetics. They can be easily altered to make them more personal, whether with other diamonds or completely different gemstones. A popular setting is the inclusion of the couple’s birthstones, flanking a larger diamond in the centre, for example.
While this makes them popular to use as engagement rings, this large degree of flexibility means that three-stone rings can be used for other occasions too. The celebrating of a birthday or any other anniversary is always great reasons to sum up feelings with diamonds. Another reason why people use three-stone trinity rings is to incorporate diamonds from other pieces of jewellery – perhaps they want to reset their original engagement ring or incorporate multiple jewels from other pieces together on one band? Whatever the reason, a three-stone ring ultimately allows wearers a customisable choice to pick a ring that suits them – helping them to create a unique image for themselves, expressing their individuality.
