Popular Trends of Engagement Rings
Fashion trends come and go and the same can be said with jewelry trends. However, when it comes to engagement rings, what she wants is what she’ll get, but let’s examine some of the popular trends of today:
Vintage Styles – That engagement ring handed down by your grandmother could be the exact style that she wants. Ornate, romantic, and timeless, antique rings are very much in vogue, something many young women desire. One option: present the ring to her “as is” and have it resized or remounted later. She may prefer the diamond and not the band, or her heart could be set on the band so in that case you’ll be doing some diamond shopping after you propose marriage. No ring handed down? No worries – you’ll find plenty of antique-looking styles when you shop for an engagement ring.
Fresh Colors, Different Gems – Pink engagement rings are prized for their unusual color as well as for their value. Extremely rare, they are also very expensive and given only by the bridegroom who has very deep pockets. Less expensive then pink diamonds, but still unusual are yellow diamonds. Three diamond rings with a center yellow diamond and white diamond side stones has a special look some brides favor.
Various Shapes, Stylish Bands – Round cut stones are still the most popular, but cushion, radiant, square and heart-shaped cuts have a following too. As far as the band itself, your espoused may be open to an attractive white gold twist tension band or a designer band such as a Danhov MicroPave.
Seeking Help from Friends and Family Members
Of course, narrowing down the styles can be difficult if you aren’t already familiar with her tastes. Dropping hints or asking her friends or a family member to help out can be useful, provided that they are people who won’t spill the beans.
Ultimately, your engagement ring selection will reflect your desire to please her and prove that you patiently took the time to find a ring you believe she will prize forevermore. She already loves you and the ring you present to her will be your outward demonstration of your love for her.
