Bezel, solitaire, vintage, cathedral, three-stone—not everyone's familiar with engagement ring setting lingo, but it's easy enough to learn about. As you'll see, each has its own set of pros and cons that can help you with your bauble search. (See: the pros and cons of every type of engagement ring setting.) Brides certainly love a solitaire because it's super easy to clean and maintain. The beauty of a bezel-set ring is its durability, which means if you work with your hands a lot, it might be the best option for you. But there is one setting, in particular, that's proven to be a favorite among brides-to-be right now, and we have a strong inkling the Meghan Markle effect has something to do with the spike.

Three-stone engagement rings, which are said to be symbolic of the past, present, and future, are blowing up right now, and per usual, the Duchess of Sussex is spurring the trend. Prince Harry proposed with a three-stone ring that features a center cushion-cut diamond framed by two round diamonds from Princess Diana’s personal collection. It's rich in meaning in addition to being utterly dazzling.

If you too want a royalty-approved engagement ring, you'll be happy to know the market is chock-full of equally gorgeous styles, and we found the absolute best. Read on to see and shop 21 three-stone engagement rings you won't be able to say no to.
