Description
The Trilogy Ring The Risivi & Co symbol is one of the most powerful symbols in engagement jewelry: it is a ring with three natural diamonds brilliant cut, 0.337 carats each, set side-by-side on a band in white gold 18kt, for a total of 1.01 carats. Past, present, and future: this is the meaning traditionally attributed to the three diamonds of the trilogy, making them the choice for those who want a ring with a story to tell beyond its design.
The three stones, equal in size, are set in a shared prong setting: each pair of adjacent diamonds shares the center prongs, a technical solution that brings the stones as close together as possible and creates a compact, seamless horizontal line. The wide shank, slightly tapering downwards, balances the visual weight of the three stones and makes the ring comfortable to wear daily, a fundamental characteristic for a piece of jewelry designed to last a lifetime.
Why choose a trilogy ring instead of a solitaire
A trilogy with 1.01 carats distributed across three stones creates a different visual impact than a 1-carat solitaire: the diamond band takes up more lateral space on the finger, appearing more dramatic while containing the same carat weight. It's the right choice for those who want more presence than a single stone, without necessarily increasing the individual carat weight. The color G/H and purity VS they guarantee that all three stones are color-consistent, which is crucial in a trilogy: any color difference between the three would be immediately visible when the stones are placed side-by-side.

The meaning of the trilogy ring
The trilogy, also called “three-stone ring”The “three-stone ring” has its origins in the Anglo-Saxon engagement tradition, where the three diamonds represent the shared past, the present lived together, and the future being built. This symbolism makes it a highly sought-after alternative to the classic solitaire, especially for couples who value the telling of a story more than the symbolism of a single stone. It is also a frequent choice as an anniversary ring, to celebrate a significant number of years together.
Fine Jewelry Risivi & Co
Selecting three diamonds for a trilogy requires more care than for a solitaire: the stones must be matched not only in color and clarity but also in proportions and cut, so that the brilliance is identical for all three. A center stone with a wider table than its sides would break the visual continuity of the line. In our Rome laboratory, each trilogy is assembled by verifying the alignment of the three crowns, the consistency of the reflection, and the symmetry of the shared prong setting before delivery.
Frequently asked questions about the trilogy
What is the difference between a trilogy and a solitaire?
A solitaire has a single stone as the star, while a trilogy has three stones side-by-side. For the same total carat weight, a trilogy takes up more space on the finger and is visually more elaborate. A solitaire is more classic and formal; a trilogy is more narrative and contemporary.
Do the three stones all have the same carat weight?
In this model, yes: the three stones are of equal size, for a symmetrical distribution of the 1.01 total carats. There are also versions with a larger central stone, but this version favors the linearity and symmetry of the horizontal band.
Can the trilogy be customized?
Yes, the jewelry can be made in any size. For variations in carat or stone type, please contact us for a consultation at our Rome workshop: the final price depends on your specific choices.
