What's Hot Right Now in Engagement Rings?

Planning to pop the big question to your partner this weekend and don't know what ring to buy? We have it all figured out for you. A tiny rock over a platinum ring is no longer the trend right now. So here is what you should be looking at if you wish to dazzle your significant other as you go down on one knee.

Throw some colors in there

You might not believe it but the trend right now as far as engagement rings is to have a colored stone instead of the plain old diamond. Brides prefer colored rings and as a result, there are plenty of emaralds and saphires that adorne these rings. So don't be shy to get your bride to be a ring that has a stone with her favorite color in it. You might even end up getting a great deal that way.

Think outside the box

Gone are the days where every engagement ring looked almost the same. Many brides to be are shunning the traditional round cut diamond to more appealing shapes like the pear, square, marquee and so on. You could also go ahead with a double tiered diamond layer. This would make the larger diamond appear to be slightly bigger and get you a more appealing ring without burning a hole in your pocket.

Vintage is in vogue

It turns out that many brides to be prefer vintage styles engagement rings. Many jewelers are even offering rings designed in Victorian and Edwardian styles. So present your prized possession to your bride to be and watch her eyes light up when you tell her it's a family heirloom.

Mix it up

Platinum used to be the most preferred setting to go with the diamond in engagement rings for a very long time, but not anymore. Brides are not afraid to mix it up a bit and the result is a plenty of big rocks set in yellow rings. So be bold and feel free to experiment with any precious metal you like to get the perfect ring for your bride to be.
