I want to buy my fiancée a three stoned necklace but I can't remember what it's called?

I was looking online for jewelry which I could get my wife for our upcoming anniversary when I came across a three stoned necklace. I was wondering what this particular jewelry design was called. Is this three stoned necklace appropriate as an anniversary gift? What do the three stones symbolize?

Although some refer to this sort of design as a Journey Necklace or a Trilogy Necklace, it is also known simply as a Three Stone Necklace. All jewelers will know exactly what you mean if you choose either of these descriptions to explain what it is that you are looking for. Whether you are looking to purchase online or at a jewelry store, you should know that there is a very wide selection of necklaces to choose from that fall under this category. Depending on the actual size of the diamonds incorporated into the necklace, prices for a three stone necklace could flunctuate quite a bit. You should also consider whether you would like to get three equally sized diamonds or alternatively a bigger diamond surrounded by two smaller ones. I strongly suggest looking at several designs before making up your mind. With regards to your question about whether a three stone necklace is suitable as an anniversary gift - of course it is appropriate! Who wouldn't want to receive such a beautiful and valuable gift on occasion of their anniversary?! Giving your wife a Three Stone Necklace also has a deeper meaning when it comes to anniversary gifts. The three stone necklace actually symbolizes the journey you two have shared together as a couple - each stone representing your past, present and future. Therefore, I couldn't even think of a more appropriate anniversary gift to give to your wife.

The design is called a diamond Trilogy necklace and it represents the past, present and future stages in a couple's relationship.This trilogy (or trinity) jewelry line is considered to be very fashionable, and is increasingly popular with both younger and older couples. Trinity jewelry comes in a variety of shapes, sizes and designs. The three stoned jewelry can incorporate embellishing elements such as filigree, additional accent stones, intricate metal settings, etc. The three stones set into this design are usually diamonds, however, there is no rule against setting trinity jewelry with other precious gemstones (for example, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, topaz, garnets, etc.). In fact, a popular version of the trinity design is setting birthstones into the three stone settings. The birthstones can be the couple's birthstones, or perhaps, their children's birthstones (if they have any). Birthstone set trilogy jewelry is rather unique and quite sentimental.
