Let's dive a little deeper into the engagement ring trends of next year!
When romance and breathtaking style collide, timeless designs emerge. Dating back to the latter end of the Georgian Era (1714 – 1837), three stone rings are "enduring classics back in vogue" says Money. In the 1950s, three stone rings were often set with an emerald-cut center stone and baguette side stones. While that elongated silhouette remains in style, customers can now opt for a more modern version with round, oval, or even trillion-cut side stones. With endless opportunities to update a classic look, three stone rings are very much in — and show no signs of going out of style.
Optically, chemically, and physically the same as natural diamonds, lab diamonds are becoming an increasingly popular alternative. "We are seeing more consumers embracing lab diamond engagement and wedding rings," says Money, who champions the end of the lab diamond taboo. Customers understand the value of lab diamonds- New Window: they're completely mining-free, offer the same look as natural diamonds, and can be a much more affordable option. Whether it's a center stone or an accented setting, everyone everywhere is growing increasingly in love with lab grown diamonds.
