Emerald engagement rings have long been cherished for their timeless elegance and captivating beauty. In 2024, the trend of three-stone emerald engagement rings is particularly strong, as more couples seek out this classic design to symbolize their love and commitment. Now when we say emerald, we specifically mean emerald-cut or emerald-shaped diamonds, rather than emerald gemstones (which are also so lovely!). We’re here to explore the appeal of emerald engagement rings, why three-stone settings are so popular, and how you can get a stunning three-stone emerald ring at a fraction of the cost compared to luxury brands like Harry Winston. What’s not to love about that?
The Enduring Appeal of Emerald-Cut Engagement Rings
Emerald-cut diamonds have a distinctive appearance that sets them apart from other diamond shapes. Characterized by their elongated, rectangular shape and step-cut facets, emerald-cut diamonds exude a sense of understated luxury and sophistication. This cut is known for its elegant lines and the way it emphasizes the diamond’s clarity, making it a favorite among those who appreciate minimalist beauty.
Timeless Elegance with a Modern Twist
The clean lines and geometric precision of the emerald cut diamond give it a sleek and modern feel, while its roots in vintage design (very art deco!) ensure it remains a classic choice. This unique combination of old and new makes emerald engagement rings a perfect fit for those who want a ring that’s both traditional and contemporary.
Three-Stone Emerald Rings: A Symbol of Your Past, Present, and Future
The three-stone engagement ring design is rich with symbolism, representing the past, present, and future of your relationship. We love a ring with deep emotional significance! This meaningful design is particularly striking when paired with emerald-cut diamonds, as the clean lines and large facets of the emerald cut enhance the visual impact of the three stones. That said, the side stones can be almost any shape! From baguette to trapezoid, pear to marquise, it’s easy to find the three-stone ring of your dreams.
Why Three-Stone Emerald Engagement Rings Are Trending
Three-stone emerald engagement rings are growing in popularity in 2024, and it’s easy to see why. Here’s what makes this style so appealing:
Enhanced Brilliance and Fire
The emerald cut’s large, open facets create a mesmerizing “hall of mirrors” effect that enhances the diamond’s brilliance and fire. When set in a three-stone design, the center emerald-cut diamond is flanked by two smaller diamonds, which amplify the overall sparkle and create a captivating play of light. This enhanced brilliance makes three-stone emerald engagement rings a show-stopping choice.
A Larger, More Impressive Look
A major perk of a three-stone ring is that it appears larger and more impressive. The two side stones add extra width and visual weight to the design, making the center diamond appear even more substantial. This is particularly true with emerald-cut diamonds, whose elongated shape already creates the illusion of a larger stone.
Versatility in Design
Three-stone emerald engagement rings offer versatility in design, allowing for a variety of stone shape and style combinations and metal choices. Whether you prefer a classic all-diamond look or want to incorporate colored gemstones like emeralds, sapphires, or rubies, the three-stone setting can be customized to reflect your personal style. The clean lines of the emerald cut complement any setting, from vintage-inspired designs to sleek, modern styles.
Comparing Prices: Harry Winston’s Classic Three-Stone Ring vs. MiaDonna’s Chorus, Isla, and more
When it comes to luxury engagement rings, brands like Harry Winston are often the first to come to mind. However, while these high-end rings are undeniably beautiful, they also come with a hefty price tag. For couples looking to achieve the same level of elegance and sophistication without breaking the bank, MiaDonna offers a stunning alternative with our Chorus Three-Stone Ring.
Harry Winston’s Classic Three-Stone Emerald Engagement Ring
Harry Winston is renowned for its exquisite craftsmanship and use of the highest quality diamonds. The classic three-stone emerald engagement ring from Harry Winston typically features a large emerald-cut center diamond flanked by two tapered baguette diamonds on either side. This design is set in platinum, adding to its luxurious appeal.
However, with such luxury comes a significant price. A classic three-stone emerald engagement ring from Harry Winston can easily cost upwards of $50,000, depending on the carat weight, diamond quality, and specific design.
MiaDonna’s Chorus Three-Stone Emerald Engagement Ring
For those who want the look and feel of a luxury ring without the exorbitant price, MiaDonna’s Chorus Three-Stone emerald engagement ring is the perfect choice. The Chorus ring features a stunning lab-grown emerald-cut diamond at its center, flanked by two tapered baguette lab-grown diamonds. Set in your choice of recycled platinum, white gold, yellow gold, or rose gold, this ring offers the same elegance and brilliance as its luxury counterparts.
One of the most significant advantages of choosing a lab-grown diamond ring like the Chorus is the price. Lab-grown diamonds are chemically and physically identical to mined diamonds but come at a fraction of the cost. Featuring high-quality lab-grown diamonds, the Chorus can cost around $3,900, depending on the carat weight and customization options. All the glamor for a fraction of the price? Absolutely a win.
Why Choose MiaDonna’s Chorus Ring?
In addition to being more affordable, MiaDonna’s Chorus ring offers several other benefits that make it an excellent choice for today’s conscientious consumer. We ethically grow our own diamonds using environmentally friendly practices, ensuring that your ring is as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside. Every purchase also gives back to empower diamond mining communities around the world. When you purchase a MiaDonna engagement ring, you can be certain that your token of everlasting love has benefitted people and the planet.
While we love this ring with the emerald-shaped center stone, you have many other options, including round, princess, asscher, oval, and pear. Pick the sustainable diamond that speaks to you and your style!
Moreover, the quality of MiaDonna Grown Diamonds is exceptional, offering the same (or superior) fire, brilliance, and durability as mined diamonds. With MiaDonna’s Chorus ring, you can enjoy the luxury of a Harry Winston three-stone emerald engagement ring without compromising your values or your budget.
Other Gorgeous Three-Stone Engagement Rings by MiaDonna
The Cherish Three-Stone Engagement Ring
At first glance, Cherish looks very similar to the Chorus. Once you view its profile, however, you’ll note that the center stone isn’t set quite as high, and it features two surprise round diamonds set in the gallery. It also features two tapered baguettes on either side of the center stone with an emerald cut center stone.
The Half Moon Three-Stone Engagement Ring
This lovely three-stone ring has a softer look compared to the Chorus. Instead of tapered baguettes as side stones, it sports stunning half-moon diamonds on either side of the center stone. These add more visual weight to the design, making the impact that much more sparkling. With the emerald as the center stone, it's the epitome of elegance, but our stylists also think it’s especially stunning with a marquise-cut diamond. The double claw prongs holding the center stone add extra interest and originality.
The Isla Three-Stone Engagement Ring
This ring is all elegant angles. The two thick baguette side stones almost look like emerald-cut diamonds, which makes those step facets truly stand out in an eye-catching way. With an earth-mined diamond, it would be hard to pull off this ring well, as the inevitable flaws would be that much more visible. Thanks to the clarity of MiaDonna Grown Diamonds, you can sport this ring impeccably.
You’ve Found the Perfect Three-Stone Emerald Engagement Ring for Your Love Story
Emerald engagement rings, especially those featuring the timeless three-stone design, are a stunning choice for any bride-to-be. Whether you’re drawn to the elegant lines of the emerald cut, the symbolism of the three-stone setting, or the allure of a larger, more brilliant ring, there’s no denying that this trend is here to stay.
While luxury brands like Harry Winston offer exquisite options, MiaDonna’s Chorus Three-Stone emerald engagement ring provides the same level of sophistication and beauty at a more accessible price point.
