Sometimes these are set in slightly graduated sizes, with a larger stone at the center, tapering outward.

Now, the five stone ring is certainly nothing new. In fact, the history of these rings dates back to the Victorian era when people decided that jewelry should mean a little something more than displaying expensive taste. Sentimentally, the five stones can stand for five symbols: love, trust, friendship, loyalty, and commitment. Or they've often stood for a 5 year anniversary, one diamond for each of the five years of marriage. While you can really give or wear them for any occasion, the beautiful way style of a 5 stone ring is often a gift between couples celebrating a lifetime of love.
