Engagement Ring trends to consider as the year comes to a close

Trends within the world of engagement rings change every couple years, and they can be difficult to navigate. What’s in vogue is often shaped by the choices of powerful figures and celebrity culture, and that is no different when it comes to marital jewellery. Here is our guide to the newest Engagement Ring trends.

Impressive pieces that can be passed down

Megan’s eye-catching engagement ring caused waves, as it took a stone from one of Prince Harry’s mother’s rings and created a stunning piece of jewellery that is worthy of its place as an heirloom. 

This is something to think about when you are purchasing an engagement ring, the possibility of it being something you want to pass down to your future children or other member’s of your family. 

A ring that would act as the perfect keepsake is this Pear shaped Colombian Emerald and Diamond Ring, which wouldn’t look out of place in a royal collection. 

Vintage styles

Led by public figures such as Kate Middleton, whose own engagement ring harkened back to Diana, there has been a new wave of engagement rings that harken back to traditional vintage styles and cuts. You can replicate the exact style of the Duchess of Cambridge with this Colombian Emerald and Diamond Halo Engagement Ring that has been created to match the era specific style.

There are other ways of capturing the vintage wave, such as choosing this Marquise cut Brown Diamond Ring. The marquise cut is a traditional jewellery shape that can trace its origin to the esteemed French Court in the 18th century, when King Louis XV of France (1710-1774) commissioned a jeweller to design a cut shape that resembled the lips of his mistress. This lips-shaped diamond then became very fashionable, and has remained trendy for many years. It is once again back in style, and this ring is definitely suitable to celebrate one’ engagement. 

No one engagement ring to rule them all

Traditionally an engagement ring is always placed on the left hand and a wedding band is worn on the right. However there are some people who are now breaking away from the past, and planning on having complementary engagement and wedding rings that can be worn together on the same finger.  

The current trend is to pair multiple eternity rings with a dazzling diamond engagement ring that work in harmony with one another. You can achieve this luxurious look with these Diamond full and half eternity rings, combined with this Diamond Halo Engagement Ring.
