Atop a slender band are three gems side-by-side. Secured in claw settings, they’re organized in a ‘graduated’ formation whereby the centrepiece is roughly double the carat weight of these flanking it and elevated slightly larger than them, too. This quintessential method is timeless and iconic – nevertheless it’s not the underside line.

In its Trendy English type, the phrase ‘trilogy’ derives from the Greek tri-(‘3 times’) and –logia(‘story’).

Essentially the most broadly regarded symbolism of the trilogy ring is the idea of eternity, with its three stones representing the previous, the current and the longer term. This celebration of shared recollections and promise of lifelong dedication is what makes the trilogy design so apt for an engagement ring marking the start of perpetually.

The trilogy ring’s three stones are additionally thought to reference the vow to ‘love, honour and cherish’ made throughout Western wedding ceremony ceremonies, and generally – although much less generally – the grounding ideas of ‘friendship’, ‘love’ and ‘devotion’.

The Victorian period noticed the introduction of correct etiquette amongst society’s higher echelons, with plenty of new guidelines prohibiting outright flirtations between people. It’s no shock, then, that the trilogy ring was one among quite a lot of symbolic jewels to emerge from this period, conveying tender feelings that couldn’t be addressed out loud.

It has since remained a constant go-to for the romantics amongst us, donned just lately by stars like Miranda Kerr and Nicole Kidman. When Harry popped the query to Meghan in 2017 with an engagement ring topped with a trio of enormous diamonds, we noticed this time-honoured fashion rise as soon as once more via the ranks, with many jewellers reporting spikes in gross sales and searches of the trilogy ring nature.

A TRILOGY OF RINGS

A 3-part creation from our Freedom Assortment

Maybe our favorite reinvention of the trilogy blueprint is the deconstructing of the ring itself, difficult the notion {that a} trilogy could solely current itself as a trio of gems.

Gone are the times when conference deemed that an engagement ring could solely be bought by a suitor in personal, costing the equal to a few months’ wage, then adopted in a well timed vogue by a pair of plain and understated matching wedding ceremony bands for ‘her’ and ‘him’. Immediately, we’re seeing an growing variety of {couples} embrace the notions of engagement rings, wedding ceremony bands and dedication rings mixed into one all-encompassing jewel, or a significant stack of rings that don’t strictly conform to any of these conventional ‘engagement,’ ‘wedding ceremony’ or ‘dedication’ pigeonholes however exist merely as a celebration of affection.

Our purchasers are invited to combine and match these rings – which fluctuate in color, texture, form and width – then have them soldered collectively in distinctive, self-curated stacks. With every part of the stack representing a specific side of life or second in time, a three-part Freedom ring is a up to date tackle the trilogy ring that enables loads of room for expression and private significance.

Likewise, when our consumer was enamoured by the idea of the trilogy however not the design parts of a typical trilogy engagement ring, we designed and crafted her three complimentary stacking rings. Although every autonomous jewel bears its personal symbolism and will be worn independently at any time when desired, the harmonious interlocking system makes for a simple union of the three jewels; a trilogy of tokens.
