Aside from an engagement ring, wedding rings are the best symbols of undying love among couples. Due to this, choosing the right one can be a really difficult task. In this respect, perhaps there is nothing more emblematic than the 3 stone rings, which are representative of the three general phases of any relationship: past, present, and the future. Also known as the trilogy or trinity rings, these finger hoops have long been revered by couples and ordinary people alike.

As their collective name implies, 3 stone rings contain three gems as their primary accents, without any other gems on the sides. However, complex settings can also be done with these types of rings, only that the 3 gems remain as the focal point of such jewelries. The good thing about these rings is that they can be purchased either ready-made or custom built. They are also widely available in most local jewelry stores as well as in online jewelry shops.

Frequently, 3 stone hoops utilizes diamonds as their primary accents because of their symbolic representation of timelessness and indestructible love and commitment. However, overtime the gems used have been modified in order to suit differing preferences of couples. Some rings comes with brilliant cut white diamonds, while other rings make use of colored gems.

When it comes to the shapes and sizes of the gems, most 3 stone rings uses gems that are similar in sizes and shapes. Because these gems will be set together, it is just logical that their symmetry and shapes are complimentary in order for them to properly fit in the rings. The most conventional gem shapes used for 3 stone hoops includes square, oval and round as they complement each other pretty well, while gems that are heart shaped are not frequently utilized as they are difficult to place side by side. In terms of the gems' sizes though, although the three jewels usually have the same dimensions, some couples prefer the center stone much bigger than the two side jewels, probably because they want to give emphasis on the significance of the present.

There are different ways to properly synthesize the three jewels in your rings. If you're rooting for a custom built wedding band, the three gem design works best in gold and platinum. However, if you're thinking about your budget, you can also settle with silver or white gold. On the other hand, if you prefer purchasing ready to wear 3 stone band, try to make sure that you already know the setting of your band so that you will not be distracted with the many designs available in the market.

Generally, every couple has a past that led them to the present where they envision their future. What better way to immortalize these three very important stages in a relationship than to encapsulate them in a wedding band with three gems. Without a doubt, every time you and your love one will look at this band you will recall the memories that have brought the two of you together. More importantly, you would be able to cherish those memories until the two of you grow old together.
