Engagement rings come in many forms, but few are as timeless and meaningful as the three-stone setting. When paired with the elegant curves and elongated sparkle of an engagement rings for women oval cut, this setting becomes a symbol-rich and stylish choice for today’s couples.

At KRK Jewels, we believe that every ring should tell a story. If you’re considering an oval diamond engagement ring with a three-stone setting, this guide will help you understand the style, significance, and options available to you.

What Is a Three-Stone Engagement Ring?

A three-stone ring features a center diamond flanked by two smaller side stones. These three gems symbolize:

• The past, present, and future of your relationship,

• Or friendship, love, and fidelity—the three pillars of a lasting union.

The center diamond is typically the focal point, with the side stones enhancing its brilliance and visual impact. This arrangement results in a ring that is not only emotionally meaningful but also exceptionally beautiful.

Why Choose an Oval Diamond for the Center?

Oval diamonds are a brilliant cut, meaning they offer exceptional sparkle. Their elongated shape creates the illusion of a larger stone and makes fingers appear longer and more slender. When set between two smaller stones, the oval diamond shines even more, drawing the eye with its elegant profile and captivating brilliance.

An oval center stone brings a softer, romantic feel to the traditional three-stone layout, making it ideal for those who love classic style with a modern twist.

Popular Side Stone Options

Your choice of side stones can significantly influence the ring’s overall look. Here are some popular combinations:

Oval + Pear

Pear-shaped side stones gently taper away from the center, accentuating the oval’s length and creating a graceful, flowing silhouette.

Oval + Round

Round brilliant side stones are a timeless choice that adds classic sparkle and balances the elongated center stone with symmetry.

Oval + Trillion

Trillion-cut stones (triangular in shape) offer a bold, modern contrast to the oval center, creating a dramatic and contemporary aesthetic.

Oval + Half Moons

Half-moon diamonds hug the sides of the oval, creating a seamless transition and a vintage-inspired look.

Oval + Baguettes

Straight or tapered baguette-cut diamonds provide clean, architectural lines that enhance the elegance and simplicity of the design.

Each side stone shape contributes its own flair—so whether you're after subtle sophistication or a bold statement, there’s a three-stone combination to match.
