trilogy engagement rings

The diamond trilogy ring is a three-stone ring usually made of purely diamonds set next to each other, or two diamonds featuring a center gemstone. The center stone of a diamond trilogy ring may be slightly larger or higher than the two supporting stones; signifying the importance of the present. A trilogy ring may feature diamonds, one gemstone, a combination of stones, or other precious stones.

Trilogy rings are unique in their purpose. Diamond trilogy rings are suitable for several occasions as they can be used as an engagement ring, wedding band, promise ring, and friendship ring. They can as well be given as a gift for several occasions ranging from Valentines, anniversaries, Christmas, birthdays, or any gift to show your affection towards your loved one.

There are, however, two different trilogy rings. One with three stones all having the same size and the other with a center stone that is bigger. People use the second trilogy ring with a bigger center stone for proposals and another one for different purposes. Most times, the stone of a trilogy ring may be made of gemstone to signify a deeper feeling or emotion (sapphire for truth and peace, emerald for faithfulness, and ruby for passion).

The most important thing about the diamond trilogy ring is to purchase the one you and your significant other or whoever you’re gifting it to would like. It’s advisable to shop from a reliable vendor like Abelini where we offer you great quality for less.

The answer depends on your choice/type of engagement ring. However, the answer is yes! Regardless of what ring you choose (size, style, and material), trilogy rings can be considered and used as engagement rings.

Trilogy rings peaked into popularity as an engagement ring after Prince Harry proposed to Meghan Markle with a trilogy design featuring an elongated cushion cut center diamond sourced in Botswana, and two round diamonds from his mother’s personal collection flanked on either side. As long the engagement ring you choose symbolizes your commitment and love to your significant other during your proposal, and you know he/she will love the ring, a diamond trilogy ring can be an engagement ring.

For a custom engagement ring, a trilogy is flexible as it works well with different colored gemstones, metals, and shapes; and the center stone of the trilogy ring will be larger than the flanking stones, signifying the importance of the present and eternal love. The size of the flanking stones can also be cut to one-third of the size of the center stone or can be increased or decreased to accentuate the prominence of the center stone and give a fuller coverage of the finger, making a beautiful engagement ring. The best thing about the trilogy rings as engagement ring is that they remain more traditional and classic.

1. The past, present, and future: The past, present, and future are the most common meaning are why trilogy rings are loved as engagement rings among couples; and it is mostly reflected by the three-stone trilogy ring with a larger center stone.

4. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit: In some Christian beliefs, the three stones have a biblical meaning in which every stone symbolizes a part of the holy trinity. God is one God, but three coeternal consubstantial persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Therefore saying one God in three Divine Persons.
