What makes a three-stone trilogy engagement ring so meaningful?

A trilogy engagement ring features three diamonds that carry powerful symbolism. These three stones can represent the trinity of mind, body, and soul, or the journey of your relationship through past, present, and future. Perhaps most romantically, they can symbolize friendship, love, and loyalty—the foundation of a lasting partnership.

This style offers versatility in design, with options for equal-sized diamonds or a larger center stone flanked by smaller ones. You might even incorporate colored gemstones like sapphires or rubies for a personalized touch.

Surprisingly, a three-stone ring can be more budget-friendly than a single large diamond. Since diamond prices increase exponentially with size, three smaller stones totaling the same carat weight often cost less than one equivalent diamond. For example, a ring with a 1.50-carat center stone and two 0.75-carat diamonds would typically be more affordable than a single 3-carat solitaire.

What Does a Ring With Three Diamonds Symbolise?

Looking for advice about a symbolic engagement ring? Choose an engagement ring with two diamonds or a ring with three diamonds, a trilogy engagement ring, where the three gemstones represent the trinity: mind, body and soul. The trinity was often represented as a spiral with three angles, or as a triangle. For the Mayan and Ancient Egyptian people, the link constituted between heaven and earth, or even between the people and the Gods. Others say we should look to time for the significance of the trilogy, where the three gemstones symbolise the past, the present and the future.

What Does a Trilogy Engagement Ring Look Like?

There are several ways to portray the symbolic meaning. Although many formats are available for the diamonds, we recommend you to go for a ring with 3 diamonds in a row. The round cut has the most splendid brilliance and so is still the most popular choice for engagement rings, and perfect for trilogy engagement rings. You can stipulate the diamond's carat weight. You could opt for a ring with 3 diamonds all the same size, but also for a larger centre stone flanked by 2 smaller ones.

If you would like to add extra colour, you could also replace the centre stone with a red ruby, blue sapphire or green emerald, as shown in this example. Simply beautiful! If you would prefer a centre diamond flanked by 2 other precious stones, go for a custom design. You could also opt for a centre stone, flanked by 2 smaller ones.

A Trilogy Engagement Ring Does Not Necessarily Cost More

The typical price for an engagement ring is a matter up for discussion. It is important to set a budget for yourself and to stick to it, rather than try to meet that typical price. A trilogy engagement ring with three diamonds means you can put a certain carat weight on her finger, without having to pay more. After all, the price of diamonds goes up exponentially as the carat weight goes up. So if you went for a trilogy engagement ring with one larger stone and two smaller ones, you could keep your budget perfectly under control.

In which case, go for a 1.50-carat diamond for the centre stone, with two 0.75-carat diamonds. Such a ring would cost less than a solitaire ring that has a single diamond of 3-carat.
