Trio Wedding Ring Sets

When you decide to propose to the love of your life, you usually have an engagement ring ready when you get down on that knee and pop the big question. According to some customs, the wedding ring forms the last in a series of gifts, which also may include the engagement ring, traditionally given as a present. This tradition was already being used in Ancient Rome and is possibly much older, whereas more recent traditions keen on encouraging the jewelry trade, seeking to expand the idea of a series of gift-rings, such as the pre-engagement ring, usually given to the partner when the courting begins. In some countries, both men and women wear engagement rings. Both rings are often in the form of a plain band of a precious metal, sometimes, the engagement ring eventually serving as the wedding ring for the man.




This is what  trio wedding ring sets are compounded from: pre-engagement ring, engagement and wedding ring.

A wedding ring set is actually an ansamble of metal rings indicating the wearer is getting married. Depending on the local culture, it is worn on the base of the right or the left ring finger . The custom of wearing such a ring has spread widely beyond its origin in Europe. As mentioned before, the pre-engagement ring symbolizes the intention of having an everlasting relationship, the engagement ring is given to announce the forthcoming wedding, is the symbol of the proposal, and the wedding band, symbolizing the ongoing nature of a lasting relationship, namely the wedding itself. Among Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Christians, the exchange of rings is not technically part of the wedding service, but rather are exchanged at the betrothal. It is always a two-ring her by the priest or by the best man.

In the United Kingdom and the United States, engagement rings are traditionally worn only by women, and rings can feature gemstones, whereas in other cultures men and women usually wear matching rings, which can be plain. In some cultures, engagement rings are also used as weddings rings.

Trio wedding ring sets, like any other kind of jewelry, come in many different styles. There are sets, containing three separate rings, that can be either worn separately, or sets that look incomplete separately.

A trio ring set includes a ladies engagement ring, ladies wedding band and a men’s wedding band, and these sets often have matching rings and are lower in price than separate rings.  Even if mostly worn by woman, trio wedding ring sets are becoming popular between men in some culture as well, although that is not an usual thing to do, let`s say.  The three rings in the set are typically said to represent the couple’s past, present, and future, but other people give religious significance to the arrangement.

Traditionally, the three wedding rings are plain gold bands, although more ornate designs and other materials are gaining popularity nowadays.  If you and your betrothed are planning to get married and shopping around at jewelers together, you may want to take a long look at the women’s diamond trio wedding ring sets as well.
