Jewelry trends come and go, and that’s especially true of engagement rings. You’ll always have the classics, but some styles fall in and out of favor. That’s certainly been true of the bezel setting, which has taken a backseat to prong settings for a while now. That’s all changing.
Deciding on the perfect shape is one of the most exciting parts of picking out a diamond. Everyone has their own taste and opinion. Perhaps you have a personal reason for preferring a certain cut, or maybe you just like the way it looks more than the rest. There’s certainly no wrong shape out there, and they’re all appealing in their own ways. From the elegance of a marquise-cut stone to the simplicity and sparkle of a diamond, there’s always something to love.
There’s nothing better more satisfying than showing off a brilliant, sparkling, clean diamond engagement ring. Watching the way the center stone shines in the light after being polished and cleaned is almost like magic. While visiting your jeweler for professional cleaning is an option, it isn’t always the most convenient. In order to keep your ring sparkling between visits, we will teach you how to keep it clean at home.
Every year, there are new styles and trends in the world of jewelry. Among engagement rings alone, everything from the style of band to the types of stones used can be different from one year to the next. This time last year, we saw an unwavering demand for simple, oval solitaire engagement rings. While the yellow gold solitaire engagement ring is still the most popular style, we have started to see other styles begin to rise in popularity as well.
In contrast to our blog about indulging, there are many people out there who are all about the simple things in life: minimalism. If you are one of those people, this is the guide for you!
In recent years, lab-grown diamonds have been trending upwards and continue to corner a bigger share of the market. 2023 promises to see the demand increase yet again. Since lab-grown diamonds continue to gain favor, it’s only natural that lab-grown diamond jewelry is expected to see a parallel rise in popularity.
If you’re looking for a wedding band that really highlights your engagement ring, look no further than the tiara band. While tiara bands do their best work stacked with engagement rings, their unique shape makes them a great standalone piece too!
Fashion and jewelry are ever-changing landscapes. Trends come and go with time, surfacing once and making a return years later with a few updates. Sometimes, the annual style shifts are in stark contrast with each other. That’s what you can expect to see in 2023, as the ever-popular minimalism of 2022 gives way to maximalism. These two styles couldn’t be more opposite.
In the hundreds of years engagement rings have been in existence, there have been a number of ring trends that have come and gone. From certain shapes or cuts to specific design elements, engagement rings trends have truly been all over the map. In 2023, an appreciation for vintage and antique rings made a comeback.
When you start shopping for engagement rings, the number one concern most people have is the size of the center stone. While the average engagement ring purchase falls between one and two carats, there are those that go way above and beyond the norm. There's going big or going home, and then there's going bigger or going home.
Pantone has released its new Color of the Year for 2023: Viva Magenta. If you want anything you buy this year to be on trend, it simply has to make you think “Viva Magenta.”
Even though engagement rings are a staple of our society, the rules surrounding them have evolved over the decades. You’ve probably heard the old adage that an engagement ring needs to equal “three-months salary” of the person buying it. However, that’s no longer the norm. So, how much should you spend on an engagement ring, and what else should you consider?
