Three Stone Engagement Rings Vancouver

A three stone ring, sometimes called a trilogy or trinity ring, sets a centre diamond between two smaller side stones. GIA describes the three as standing for a couple's past, present and future, and that idea is what draws a lot of people in.

Some couples skip the symbolism and just like the shape. Three stones sit wider across the finger than a single diamond, so even a modest centre has real presence.

We make three stone rings with GIA and IGI certified lab grown and natural diamonds, matching every stone for colour and clarity so the three read as one design.

This is where three stone rings get fun. It's also where they go wrong most often.

Make the sides too close in size to the centre and you end up with three stones in a row, no hierarchy. Too small and they look like an afterthought. We normally start with sides clearly smaller than the centre, then tweak by eye, on your actual hand.

Shape counts as much as size. Pears tucked next to an oval soften it. Trapezoids or baguettes beside an emerald cut look clean and geometric. Matching rounds? Classic.

Colour counts too. GIA's advice is to keep side stones within about two colour grades of the centre so nothing looks off.

Want to break the rules? Sapphire sides look great, and they're a nice way to add something personal.

A three stone ring gives you more room to play with budget than most styles.

Some couples choose a natural centre with lab grown side stones, putting the money where the eye goes first. Others go lab grown for all three and step up in size. Both are real diamonds graded on the same 4Cs, and without lab equipment they're very hard to tell apart.

Whichever way you go, the three stones need to match in colour and brightness. We set them side by side on a tray before anything is made so you can see it for yourself.
