Other than an engagement ring, wedding rings are treated as the best objects to symbolize undying love. Because of this, selecting the right one can be extremely difficult as the failure to do so can affect the true value of such precious memento. Accordingly, perhaps the best rings to encompass the three general phases of relationships, the past, present and future, are the 3 stone rings. Commonly referred to as the trilogy or trinity rings, these finger accents are very popular among couples around the globe.

As their collective name connotes, 3 stone rings have three precious gems as their primary accents, without any additional gems on the sides of the metal. However, other complex settings can be orchestrated for the metals of these types of rings. One of the primary things that sets these rings apart from other jewelry mementos is that they can either be bought ready-made or custom designed. More importantly, they are widely available both in local and online jewelry stores, making them much accessible for interested couples.

Usually, these kinds of rings uses diamonds as their main features because diamonds are seen as gems that symbolizes timeless and indestructible love and commitment. Yet, as diamonds can be costly, jewelers have also used other precious gems to complement differing couple needs. Some of these finger hoops are accentuated with brilliant cut white diamonds, while others have colored gems of varying sizes.

As for the shapes and sizes of the gems, majority of 3 stone rings utilize jewels that are similar in shapes and sizes. Since these gems will be set together, their symmetry and shapes should be complementary to achieve design consistency. Most common shapes used are square, oval and round gems as they smoothly fit each other, while heart shaped cuts are not common since they do not fit well with each other. 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 want your wedding band custom made, it is preferable to use expensive metals like gold and platinum. If you're a bit tight on budget however, silver metals are also preferable alternatives. If you're going to purchase a ready made 3 stone band make sure that you already know the setting you want so that you will not waste time selecting.

Altogether, every couple has a past that led them to the present phase of their relationship, which in turn serves as the phase where they will establish their future plans. With these perspectives at hand, a wedding band with 3 precious jewels can very well encapsulate these three important phases in your relationship. 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. Likewise, you will always be reminded of how you have come a long way to finally make your dreams a reality.
