Engagement Ring Options

The engagement ring is a very important item, not only for its price but also for the emotional attachments. This is a ring you will wear almost throughout your life so choosing it carefully does matter. It is natural to expect it to look good for a number of years and boast of a timeless design.

As it is norm trends for necklaces, earrings, and rings keep on changing. Classic solitaire diamond rings or a plain gold band are classic and always preferred by would be brides. Eternity rings are also a classic option for your consideration, but some recent brides prefer contemporary and trendy styles in their engagement ring.

The following have come up as recent trends in the engagement ring market.

Coloured Bands

Today’s engagement and promise rings are becoming more colourful and more sparkling. The colours are brought in with rose gold or through different coloured polishes. Some prefer coloured gemstones in their platinum or white gold bands. A central diamond with a slim band of rubies will look quite stark in contrast and will be very attractive. This way the brides can also match their jewellery with their dresses. The current trend also asks for more colours in the overall outfit of the ladies.

Rings with a Twist

Engagement rings are made simple with symmetric arrangement as they are normally handed down through generations. Classic design helps the granddaughter to use her grandmother’s ring. However, in today’s times we are coming across designs that catch the eye with asymmetric designs and off kilter placements. Some rings are placing the main diamond tilted in the centre. Some rings randomly scatter the stones to bring out abstract art. Some are even putting smaller stones in the centre with larger ones in the side. There are the new styles of the recent jewellery designs. These do make stunning accessories and work very well with contemporary clothing and styling.

Contemporary Eternity Rings

Eternity bands are timeless designs which showcase a shinning band of diamonds. However, nowadays there are other options to choose from. You can have a half eternity band or make a ring with diamonds alternating between floral or filigree designs. Some are even making eternity bands from other precious and semi precious stones. A ring with a diamond and a pink stone alternate all through the band will look very bright. It is true that the new engagement rings are getting prettier and versatile.
