This engagement ring style is going to be HUGE this year

Looking for inspiration?

One style of engagement ring is going to be huge this year, according to the experts. It's the three stone ring, with three diamonds sitting alongside each other. Sometimes the middle one can be slightly bigger, and other times they're all the same size. They have been around for decades, but now there has been a surge in interest in the style, stemming from Meghan Markle's ring. Prince Harry had the ring custom made with a diamond he sourced from Botswana and two others from Princess Diana's personal collection. We already know that the jeweller who made Meghan's ring has refused to make any replicas, but that's not to say other brands won't try their best to do so. We can expect to see lots more of them in the year to come. Speaking about this type of ring, Grant Mobley, a gemologist and Director at Pluczenik, one of the world’s leading diamantaires, told us:

"Three stone rings are a classic style that will never go out of fashion. They have been around for a number of decades, but their popularity has increased significantly in the last few months due to some recent high-profile engagements such as Meghan Markle."

Commenting on Meghan's ring he said:

"Markle’s gorgeous and chic three stone engagement ring has a cushion shape center diamond, and side diamonds from the late Princess Diana - the ultimate family heirloom. Three stone rings are a fantastic choice because their design possibilities are endless - diamond shapes and colors can be any combination you like, making this a true classic option."

The options are endless when it comes to this style with different colour bands and stones available.
