As seasoned custom designers, we’ve seen three stone engagement rings wax and wane in popularity during our decades in business… but frankly, they only wane so much.

Visually, there’s the classic appeal of a three stone ring, with it’s dazzling “wrapping effect” around the finger.

But perhaps more importantly, there’s the deep significance that resides in a three stone engagement ring. Of course, there’s the obvious symbolism: a ring that represents the past, present and future of love.

Some opt for the middle stone to be the largest, to serve as a reminder of the importance of living in the present, not holding on to grudges from the past or worrying excessively about the future.

Three stones can also symbolize fidelity, friendship and love–a wearable reminder of the keys to a good relationship.

Lastly, three stone rings can also possess religious significance with the stones representing the Holy Trinity.

What is a bullet cut diamond?

Well you can guess what it’s named after so we won’t bore you with the backstory. Consider them baguettes with one narrow end cut into a V-shape.

There are two kinds of diamond bullets: tapered and straight. Tapered bullets are generally considered more attractive.

Step cut bullets pair well with Emerald and Asscher cut diamonds in the center (as seen in the example above).

Brilliant cut bullets pair well with brilliant cut center stones, including colored stones, a particularly fetching look.

Picture this.

You’re at the alter with the man/woman of your dreams. You’ve said your vows and now its time for The Big Kiss. You really want to make the most of it. You want to show your partner and those witnessing your lovely betrothment just how much you REALLY LOVE your new partner.

So you lay a big kiss on her/him. Like, a really big one. You come up for air and dive back in again, to really drive the point home.

Your loved ones writhe with discomfort. A few family members start coughing loudly as if to say: Just. Stop. Already.

Apparently, YOU didn’t read up on the proper etiquette of alter kissing.

Some alter don’ts include:

Don’t be Sloppy. Keep your mouth closed please. Nobody wants to feel awkward watching this important moment. They want to see the love…not the honeymoon.

Don’t Surprise Him/Her. Weddings are not a time for new tricks. Trying that tango-style dip on her could mean an accident that no one will forget (especially her).

Some alter kissing do’s include: 

Practice your big kiss. You’ve practiced everything else, right? Work on timing: how the two of you approach one another (slowly, not too quickly), where to place your hands and how long to kiss.

Create a mini-drama out of it. Think of a romantic moment in a movie that takes your breath away. Recreate it for your loved ones to see.

Final pointer: toss these tips away! It’s your big kiss after all. Make it as unique and special as the two of you.
