Natalie K’s weekly Fashion Friday trend reports are a great way to get familiar with details and style choices to make finding the ring of your dreams as meaningful as finding love. We know you have endless choices and a style all your own, we want to help you find and choose the details which will make your ring unique to you.

A three stone engagement ring features a prominent center stone accented by two large side stones. Three stone engagement rings are stunning for the added sparkle of side stones but also have a more important symbolism. Each stone represents a different chapter in the joint life, past present and future, of the soon to wed with each phase of their relationship clearly highlighted by a beautiful diamond. This can be an especially powerful reminder of love for couples with a long standing history and an important promise of love for any one beginning their lives as husband and wife.

Traditionally three stone engagement rings feature three diamonds similar in size and cut, but there are countless variations of this classic styling. For a classic look NK15981-18W is the perfect example, featuring a stunning round cut center and two round cut side stones surrounded by dazzling halos. Or for a bit of whimsy NK28372-18W’s pear shaped side stones still draw your attention to your center stone but stem out like petals on a flower.

If traditional is not necessarily what you’re looking for NK 28712-18W is a stunning example of the impact two contrasting shapes can create. Rather than the classic three round cut stone arrangement two trapezoid side stones alongside a split shank band create modern appeal.
