Three Stone Rings
Past, present, and future. Three stones representing the journey of your love. Classic symbolism rendered in breathtaking diamond brilliance.







The Setting
Past, Present,
and Future
The three stone ring carries one of the most meaningful stories in fine jewelry. A larger center diamond flanked by two stones of equal proportion, representing where you have been, where you are, and where you are going together.
At Nathan Alan Jewelers, three stone rings are crafted around the center stone you select. The side stones are sourced to complement it in shape, color, and size, creating a composition that is balanced, intentional, and enduring.
Ring Details
“Three stones, one story. The three stone ring is among the most emotionally resonant designs in all of fine jewelry, meaningful the day it is given and every day after.” Nathan Alan Jewelers · Newport Beach
Deeply Symbolic
Past, present, and future. The three stone ring carries a meaning that other settings simply cannot match. Every time it is worn, the story is there.
Presence on the Hand
Three stones together create a wider, more substantial appearance than a single stone of equivalent total weight. The visual impact is immediate and lasting.
Shape Flexibility
Side stones can match the center shape or contrast it: round sides flanking an emerald center creates striking visual tension that works beautifully.
