Three Stone Vs Solitaire: Choosing the Best Engagement Ring

Confused between a solitaire and a three-stone ring? Solitaire offers timeless elegance and simplicity, while Three Stones provides customization and versatility. The choice is yours!

Which one should you choose: Three Stones or Solitaire? We'll make sure you understand the main features and differences between solitaire and three-stone engagement rings so you can make an informed decision. If you want elegance and simplicity, go with the solitaire; if you want uniqueness and versatility, the three-stone ring may be the best option.

Before we get into the details, let us clarify that there is no way you can go with unique engagement rings without diamonds, especially on such a special day. Diamonds make the true best friend for your spouse.

However, if you truly want to impress and melt your spouse's heart, you must go above and beyond the traditional definition of buying a diamond ring for the proposal. You will need to be more involved in the purchasing process, considering a variety of factors, such as the style and setting of the diamond engagement. The setting of the ring is thought to be the design that allows the diamond to sit on the ring's curvature.

Let's dive into each style and see which one makes the perfect buy for you.

Solitaire Engagement Rings

The diamond solitaire simple engagement ring is a unique and popular design that highlights one diamond to make it stand out and glitter. The ring features a single diamond in the center, exuding simplicity and elegance. The ring may not always be the most trendy item, but its classical design ensures that it has a timeless appeal.

The diamond chosen for these rings is often the focal point of everyone's attention, so choose a diamond design that is both rustic and glittery—something that will cause people to look at you only with admiration.

  • They are ideal for highlighting a beautiful center stone. Perhaps you inherited a diamond with excellent ratings in all four Cs and want to showcase it to its full potential. Enter the solitaire diamond ring setting.
  • They're versatile. Solitaires are extremely versatile in terms of matching a wedding band due to their simple design. Almost any wedding band will look great with a solitaire, so if you want a variety of options, a solitaire engagement ring is an excellent choice. 
  • They are less expensive. Solitaire engagement rings provide more rings for your money due to their minimal details and adornments. This means you can select a larger center stone with better clarity and color, allowing for a more “wow” factor than similarly priced rings with other settings and styles.

Three-Stone Engagement Rings

As the name implies, these engagement rings feature three diamonds or stones on the face rather than just one.
A three-stone diamond ring symbolizes your past, present, and future, as well as your commitment, devotion, and dedication to a loved one or yourself.

The large diamond sits in the center, flanked by two smaller but equally shiny and durable stones. In modern times, we have seen many options for solitaire rings, but this one is truly unique in the way it captures and narrates the true essence of marriage to people.

  • When a ring represents your love's past, present, and future, as well as your friendship, loyalty, and faith in each other, its significance extends beyond its physical and material form—it's an extension of your companionship and love.
  • A three-stone diamond ring exudes elegance and grace, and if you're going to invest in an engagement ring, it should be luxurious and unique. 
  • Another advantage of a three-stone engagement ring is that it allows for greater personalization. The center stone can be a different color than the side stones. You can also experiment with different shapes and cuts.
