If you’re searching for an engagement ring this winter, we have some insights on the latest trends. Not only are fancy shape stones making a comeback, they are currently being set in unconventional ways. Rose gold is the metal of the choice and fancy colour diamond and gemstones are spicing things up this season. So, when it comes to choosing what will most likely be the most important piece of jewellery of your life, it’s only right that you make an informed choice. Here are some up-and-coming trends taking the social media by storm:
This bespoke 77 Diamonds engagement ring features an emerald-shape diamond in a landscape setting. The band is 18k rose gold and features a diamond halo and band
Landscape setting: If breaking conventions is your aim, the “landscape” or “horizontal” setting of diamonds is a great way to make a simple silhouette unique. Let your marquise, oval, pear, radiant or emerald-cut stones sit horizontally across the band for an alignment that is a cut above the rest.
This solitaire engagement ring, not only features an oval landscape-set diamond, but also a chevron band in 18k rose gold which allows both rings to sit flush together. The bespoke ring set is by 77 Diamonds
Chevron bands: You might have noticed brides opting for V-shaped wedding bands to pair with their engagement rings. This season is witnessing the growing popularity of the “orbit bands” – which are slightly shallow, in a “{” shape – and the “chrysalis bands” that have a deeper “V”. This provides a unique look and can also allow the engagement ring to sit flush with a wedding band.
In this trend, the pear-shape diamond has been set to wear with the point facing downwards. It features a semi-halo of white diamonds in 18k white gold. This bespoke ring is by 77 Diamonds
Flipped: If you haven’t yet heard of the “upside down” trend, you might have missed out on a very novel take on the traditional diamond setting. It can be as simple as a pear-cut stone placed in reverse, or a row of diamonds set beneath a larger stone. Edgy and off-beat, this style gives diamond shapes such as pear cuts a whole new dimension.
Rose gold suits all style engagement rings from classic solitaires to halos, vintage and diamond bands. This design is called the Allure by 77 Diamonds
Rose gold: It’s back with a bang. Of late, there have been many brides-to-be experimenting with the use of different metals. But, there’s something about rose gold that makes us believe it is here to stay. A tone that suits almost every skin colour, rose gold is a warm hue that indulges the eye. For a slightly different take, you can opt for the centre stone to be mounted in platinum or white gold, while the rest of the ring is in rose gold. Mixing metals within the ring shows a diamond in its best light.
Gemstones or fancy colour diamonds add variety to engagement rings. They can be featured as the centre stone or used as accent stones. This bespoke ring by 77 Diamonds features a landscape-set emerald diamond flanked by two pear-shape rubies
Coloured stones: Coloured gemstones are timeless, and when paired with white diamonds, they are an excellent way to personalise engagement rings since the possibilities are endless. And, you get multiple stones in your ring! To help boost your ring further, you can pair coloured diamonds or gemstones in peachy tones with rose gold, and those with a bluish tinge with the evergreen yellow gold.
Here’s hoping one or more of these trends makes this engagement season worth all the labour of love.
