Growing in love levels up in 10 days.
The Meaning of the Ring
This ring was designed around the number three and around the way we have grown together.
The Number Three
Three carries deep symbolism across spiritual traditions. It's the Trinity — the union of two people held together by a third element, the Divine. The biblical image is the "three-strand cord that cannot be easily broken." In numerology, three is the number of joyful, magnetic, creative energy — the birth of new ideas, shared goals, passion that keeps a relationship spontaneous and alive. It's also the balance of duality: two come together, and the third point unifies them, turning two separate forces into one harmonious partnership.
For us, three is personal too. This is our third time finding each other. The first two times, one of us wasn't ready — but nothing broke between us. Third time is the one. There's an old saying that the third love is the unexpected one, the soulmate connection rooted in mutual acceptance and personal growth — earned by what the first two taught you.
The Leaves
Three leaves flow down each side of the ring, framing the center. Each set of three represents one of us, carrying the mind-body-spirit trinity within. Together, the two sets hold up the flower at the center — two whole people, each complete in themselves, lifting something they've made together.
The Sapphires
Sapphires have been considered a marriage stone since antiquity. They symbolize fidelity, sincerity, wisdom, and divine favor — historically given as a sign of faithful commitment. Blue is our favorite color, and we both have blue eyes. So the sapphires carry our promise and reflect us back at the same time. One sapphire rests in each leaf — six total, three on each side.
The Flower
The diamond cluster at the center is a flower — blooming, held up by the two of us. The flower references the magnolia I brought her on our first date, from the tree in my front yard. I'm growing a seedling from that same tree to plant in her yard. Ever since that day, I've brought her flowers — wildflowers when I can find them, store-bought when winter takes them away.
We started calling what we have "growing in love" — not falling, growing. Evolving independently and together, like two plants reaching toward the same light. That phrase is engraved inside the band, where only she'll see it.
