What is the meaning behind a three-stone ring?

The three-stone ring, or "Trilogy" ring, traditionally symbolizes a couple's past, present, and future together. Because of this deep romantic sentiment, it is one of our most sought-after styles for both engagement rings and significant anniversary milestones.

How do you choose the "side stones" to complement the center diamond?

Balance is essential in a trilogy design. At Orsini, we hand-select side stones—whether they are Pear, Baguette, or smaller Round Brilliants—to ensure they match the colour and clarity of the center stone. We look for proportions that draw the eye toward the center while creating a seamless flow of brilliance across the finger. This is offered as part of our engagement consultation process to help you find your perfect ring.

What are the most popular shapes for the side stones?

The "best" shape depends on the center stone. A Round Brilliant center often looks beautiful with Pear-shaped sides for a soft, feminine taper. Conversely, a Cushion or Emerald cut center pairs exquisitely with Baguettes or Trapezoids for a more architectural, Art Deco-inspired aesthetic.

Does a three-stone ring offer more sparkle than a solitaire?

Generally, yes. Because a trilogy ring has more surface area covered in diamonds, it captures and reflects light from multiple angles. When properly proportioned, the three stones work in harmony to create a continuous "wall of light" across the hand.

Will a three-stone ring sit comfortably against a wedding band?

Many of our Orsini three-stone designs are specifically engineered with a "tapered" or "elevated" gallery. This allows a straight wedding band to sit flush against the ring, preventing a gap. During your consultation, we can show you how different bands nestle against your chosen trilogy design.

How do I know what proportions are right for my hand?

Three-stone rings can vary from delicate and dainty to bold and "statement" pieces. We recommend visiting our Parnell boutique to try on different total carat weights. The goal is to find a balance where the ring feels substantial but remains elegant and proportional to your finger size.
