POPULAR TREND IN DIAMOND ENGAGEMENT RINGS

Popular trends in diamond engagement rings that make them unique are constantly evolving, reflecting changing tastes and styles. Here are some current trends that add a unique touch to diamond engagement rings:

Unique Diamond Shapes

While round brilliant diamonds continue to be a classic choice, unique diamond shapes have gained popularity. Fancy cuts like pear, marquise, and oval offer a distinctive and eye-catching look on diamonds for an engagement ring. These unconventional shapes provide a modern twist to traditional engagement rings and are perfect for a jewelry type ring or diamond bracelets.

Mixed Metal Bands and Textures

Combining different metals in the engagement ring band is a growing trend. For example, gold rings may feature a mix of white gold or platinum setting with a rose gold or yellow gold band. This creates a contrasting and personalized two-tone look, adding visual interest and uniqueness to the ring.

Adding wood inlays to the engagement ring band can create a rustic, organic feel and add a unique texture and visual contrast.

Others go for hammered, brushed, or engraved metal bands that offer texture and uniqueness, setting the engagement ring apart from conventional smooth bands.

Unique Halo Designs

Halo settings continue to be popular but with unique variations. Rather than the traditional circular halo, hexagonal, or other geometric-shaped halos are gaining popularity. These unique halo designs add a modern and unconventional element to the ring.

East-West Settings

East-west settings, where the diamond is set horizontally across the band, have become increasingly popular. This orientation creates a distinctive and elongated look, making the diamond appear larger and giving the ring a contemporary edge.

Delicate and Intricate Filigree Work

Filigree details on the band or the setting add an intricate and vintage-inspired touch. These delicate metalwork patterns can feature floral motifs, scrolls, or geometric designs, adding uniqueness and a sense of artistry to the engagement ring.

Stacking and Nested Rings

Stacking engagement rings with wedding bands or adding nested rings allows for personalization and customization. Mixing and matching different bands and rings create a unique and layered look that reflects individual styles and preferences.

Budget options

Some individuals opt for sterling silver or less gold karat, such as 10K, to reduce costs. While 10K gold contains a higher proportion of alloy metals compared to pure gold, it can still provide a beautiful and durable engagement ring.

Hidden or Surprise Elements

Rings with hidden details or surprise elements have gained popularity. This can include hidden gemstones beneath the main diamond or intricate engravings on the inside of the band. Adding hidden gemstones on the inside of the ring band or beneath the main diamond can be a delightful surprise and a personal touch known only to the wearer. Additionally, beyond initials and dates, custom engravings can include personal messages, special symbols, or even fingerprints, making the ring truly unique and deeply meaningful. These hidden features add a personal and intimate touch to the ring.

Unique Prong Styles

Prong settings can be customized to add uniqueness. Instead of traditional prongs, unconventional prong styles, such as claw prongs, V-shaped prongs, or bezel-like prongs, can be used. These variations offer a modern and distinctive twist to the ring design.

Minimalist and Contemporary Designs

Minimalist and contemporary engagement ring designs have seen a rise in popularity. These designs often feature clean lines, sleek settings, and a focus on the diamond's beauty. Minimalist rings offer a timeless and sophisticated look that stands out with its simplicity.

ETHICAL AND SUSTAINABLE CHOICES

Lab-created Diamonds

Lab-grown diamonds are an ethical and sustainable alternative to mined diamonds. A lab-created diamond has the same physical and chemical properties as a natural diamond but is created in a controlled laboratory environment, reducing environmental impact and eliminating the ethical concerns associated with mining.

Recycled Metals

Choosing engagement rings made with recycled metals, such as recycled gold or platinum, contributes to sustainability efforts by minimizing the need for additional mining and reducing the environmental footprint.

DON'T WANT DIAMOND RINGS? WE HAVE ALTERNATIVE GEMSTONES

Sapphires

Sapphires are a popular alternative to diamonds in engagement rings. They are available in a range of colors, with blue being the most well-known. Sapphires symbolize loyalty, wisdom, and nobility, making them an ideal choice for a meaningful and unconventional engagement ring.

Rubies

Representing passion and love, rubies have a deep red color that exudes elegance and drama. A ruby center stone or accent stones in an engagement ring can create a captivating and unique look.

Emeralds

With their rich green color, emeralds are associated with fertility, rebirth, and harmony. An emerald engagement ring is a striking choice for those who appreciate the allure of vibrant gemstones.

Moissanite

Moissanite has a similar visual appearance to diamonds and is known for its brilliance and fire. This stone type diamond can exhibit a rainbow of colors due to its unique optical properties, which some people find appealing.
