Three Stone Diamond Anniversary Rings

Three stone diamond anniversary rings are a perfect gesture to celebrate a couple’s ongoing relationship while honoring their shared past and loving present. With many different style and budget options available, these rings can be a wonderful anniversary gift.

Classic three stone annivesary rings are timeless.

The traditional symbolism for three stone rings is that each gem represents a different phase of the couple’s relationship: their past, present, and future. There are other variations, however, that can be lovely sentiments for anniversary rings, such as “you, me, and us” or “today, tomorrow, and always.” A couple with children may choose a three stone ring to represent “husband, wife, and family.” These rings are suitable gifts for any anniversary, but they are frequently given for longer-lasting marriages that have reached their tenth, twenty-fifth, or fiftieth anniversaries.

Just like three stone engagement rings, three stone anniversary bands use three similar diamonds in a graduated setting. The center diamond is usually slightly larger than the two side stones, and it may be slightly elevated for more drama and impact. While the side stones are smaller, they are not drastically smaller or they may be mistaken for accent stones rather than an integral part of the main setting.

Prong ring settings are the most popular choice for three stone rings, though more unusual designs may use bezel settings, channel settings, or bypass settings for greater flair. To concentrate the total carat weight in the center of the ring, the bands are usually plain, though some designer rings will incorporate additional diamond accents such as pave settings or filigree designs.

Men's Three Stone Band

While three stone rings are designed in most precious metals, they are most commonly found in platinum, white gold, or yellow gold designs.

As more men embrace the beauty of diamonds as symbolic of their marriage, some designers are creating three stone diamond anniversary rings with a masculine touch. Unlike women’s rings where the diamonds undoubtedly take center stage, a man’s three stone ring is more subtle. The stones are usually flush with the wider band, and all three gems are typically smaller and the same size. The band itself may be polished or brushed, and there may be some edging details to add distinction.

All major types of jewelers offer at least a basic selection of three stone diamond rings for couples to choose from. The most common diamond shapes used in these designs are round, emerald, and princess cuts, while online retailers generally offer a more unusual selection. Online jewelers offering a range of three stone designs include:

The cost of a three stone ring varies depending on the diamond quality, total carat weight, type of metal, and other details. Ideally, the diamonds should match in quality – particularly for color, cut, and clarity – so they present a uniform appearance when mounted together. Because identically-matched diamonds can be more expensive, three stone rings generally run from $500 for a very small setting to more than $5,000 for a high quality ring.

Couples who enjoy the symbolism of three stone jewelry but who don’t like the available ring designs can always select meaningful three stone diamond pieces that aren’t classified as anniversary rings. Three stone promise rings are generally smaller and more delicate than engagement rings or anniversary rings, and many jewelers offer a wide selection of alternative three stone pieces including diamond pendants, earrings, and brooches. Many three stone rings are also available with semi precious gemstones, which can add a touch of color and uniqueness to a three stone design.

There are many different types of three stone diamond anniversary rings that can beautifully symbolize a couple’s long-lasting relationship. Whether a couple is celebrating their tenth anniversary or their fiftieth, a carefully chosen ring will quickly become a lifelong keepsake of their love.
