Mid-Century Diamond Trilogy Ring

Gorgeous mid-century trilogy ring set with brilliant cut diamonds totalling a shade over one carat. They're very slightly graduated - the centre being larger than the two flanking stones - and it's crafted in platinum with diamond and millegrain accents to the shoulders. Made as an engagement ring in England in the 1950s. Trilogy rings are believed to have originated in ancient Egypt, where they were thought to represent the three phases of the sun (rising, high noon, and setting) or the three stages of life (birth, life, and death). The Greeks and Romans also used three-stone rings to symbolise the past, present, and future, but they have been popular as engagement rings since the Victorian era as a way to signify the past present and future of a relationship and the romantic style has endured as a favourite to this day.
