What is a three stone engagement ring called?
Quick answer
It is usually called a trilogy ring in Australia and the UK. Three-stone ring and past, present and future ring are also common names for the same layout: one centre stone with two substantial side stones.
Where trilogy comes from
Trilogy is the usual Australian and UK term for the structural design: a centre gem flanked by two significant stones. Three-stone ring is the plain description, while past, present and future ring is a retail name tied to the best-known interpretation of the design. Trinity ring appears occasionally but can also describe a three-band ring, so trilogy is clearer.
Other names you will see in catalogues
Catalogues may use three-stone engagement ring, trilogy engagement ring or anniversary ring. Jewellers often add the centre cut, such as oval trilogy or emerald trilogy. The names all describe the same three-part setting. The full symbolism, history and design guidance belongs in the linked trilogy ring guide.
