Vintage Is Back and how
The most interesting trend in vintage that has made a huge comeback is Edwardian, the vintage-inspired ring sales. This theme in wedding rings has become really popular with brides drooling over it like never before. These have probably come back thanks to Downton Abbey. The vintage designs are incredibly feminine, delicate, and are extremely sophisticated. You can find the likes of this in lace dripping in diamonds. Apart from that, these are forever in vogue and are extremely sexy.
Lots of Color
Call it the Dutchess effect. Many brides are now opening up to the idea of emeralds and yellow-colored stones. The typical white diamond is pretty much out. Let’s thank Kate Middleton for kicking off the trend with her exquisite sapphire stone. As if that wasn’t enough, we had Kelly Clarkson too flaunting a huge yellow rock. When you talk about diamond rings, the colored stones are a big draw. There are many designers who suggest that these colored stones can be accentuated with simple diamonds.
Bigger Is Better-may be not always
No wonder women love big jewels, but for many bigger are not always better. For those who follow the likes of celebs like Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie, can go for super-sized diamonds. There are many requests for the huge rocks. And then there are some who have a guy on a budget. In those cases, a small rock with good clarity and color quality will sparkle more than a huge one with more flaws. You can also decide on the quality of wedding rings to go with the diamond earrings.
Different Shapes
Another interesting feature in diamonds, today is the cuts and shapes. We’ve come a long way from the traditional round-cut diamonds to eye-catching shapes like pear, marquise, cushion, and emerald-cut diamonds. Then there’s this double halo look. These are two tiers of smaller diamonds which are getting more popular by the day. This is a style that gives the appearance of a bigger stone for a smaller price.
Customized versions
With changing trends and stones, there are many other trends which have come up in the recent past. Not only are the stones getting a makeover, but jewelers are also working closely with guys and their future brides. This is for all the people who want something outside-the-box. And celebs are known for setting the trends. So when hubby-to-be, Deadmau5 had his girl wear a black diamond set into a silver band encrusted with miniature skulls, it has many would-be brides asking for more.
Mixed Metals
This is another trend which has surpassed the platinum which has been going to setting for engagement rings. Brides are now going with rocking white and yellow gold diamond rings, among other precious metals.
