Question 1

What does a three stone engagement ring mean?

Accepted Answer

A three stone engagement ring has a center diamond with one stone on each side. The three stones are often read as your past, present and future together; some read them as friendship, love and fidelity. The side stones also add sparkle and make the center look bigger.

Question 2

How much does a three stone engagement ring cost?

Accepted Answer

A three stone engagement ring costs the setting plus three diamonds — the center stone and two side stones. Because it holds more diamond than a solitaire, it usually costs more for the same center size. The center's price depends mostly on carat weight. Prices change daily, so we show today's live prices below.

Question 3

What are the side stones — same shape or tapered?

Accepted Answer

The side stones can match the center shape — two rounds, ovals or pears — or be tapered baguettes or trapezoids that run into the band. Matching stones add sparkle and width; baguettes and trapezoids look sleek and modern. Both make the center stand out.

Question 4

Which diamond shape looks best in a three stone ring?

Accepted Answer

Any shape works in a three stone setting. Round, oval and emerald centers are the most popular, and the side stones are usually chosen to suit the center. A three stone ring adds width, so it wears large on the hand. Pick your center shape from the tiles above.

Question 5

What wedding band looks best with a three stone ring?

Accepted Answer

A straight wedding band sits flush under most three stone settings, for a clean line. If the side stones sit low or wide, a band with a slight curve or notch can fit closer. Match the metal, or mix on purpose.

Question 6

Which metals can I choose for a three stone engagement ring?

Accepted Answer

Every three stone setting comes in platinum or in 14K or 18K gold, in yellow, white or rose. White gold and platinum keep all three stones bright and cool; yellow and rose gold add a warm outline. A warm metal lets you choose a slightly lower color grade. Platinum costs more than gold.
