It’s almost fall, and that means engagement season is practically upon us. Yes, almost half of all engagements happen in the couple of months that follow Thanksgiving! So, to get ready for the season, we decided to take a look at some of 2017’s top engagement ring trends.
Black Diamond Engagement Rings
One of the most exciting engagement ring trends of 2017 is using black diamonds, a mysterious and unique choice for an engagement ring. Black diamonds are a naturally occurring shade of diamond that, when used in an engagement ring, is said to symbolize the strength of your relationship. Maybe that meaning is what is drawing more and more brides-to-be to black diamonds, or perhaps it’s just their bold and unique look.
Take this round cut double halo engagement ring with a black diamond as its centerpiece, for example. The double layer of white diamonds adds dazzle, while the black diamond adds mystery. And the double claw prongs of the setting add a uniquely cool touch to the design.
Colored Accents
Colored accents on an engagement ring enhance both the beauty and the versatility of the ring. After all, why pick just one precious metal when you can pick two? This trend, also sometimes referred to as “mixed metal,” has been gaining popularity this year as more and more people are drawn to this beautiful look.
This vintage style diamond engagement ring is a perfect example of this trend. The outer edges of the ring are crafted in white gold while the inner, decorative swirls are a beautiful rose gold. The combination of these two metals creates a soft beautiful design.
Vintage-Inspired Engagement Rings
Vintage-inspired engagement rings have been a popular trend for a few years and their popularity is still going strong. Take, for example, this beautiful vintage diamond engagement ring with its matching engagement ring. This ring takes inspiration from the art deco period, with its repetitive geometric shapes. Vintage-inspired rings are a great way to get a romantic vintage look while also still getting the benefits of strong modern craftsmanship.
Stacks
Stacks are a newer, rising trend that involves exactly what you might think from the name: stacking multiple rings together to make a set. You can stack two, three, or many more rings to make your own custom stack. The rise of this trend comes as no surprise as many brides have been leaning toward more unique and customizable engagement rings in recent years.
Another benefit of stacks is that you can add to them over time. You could start with this modern diamond engagement ring and matching wedding ring and add another band of your choice now or a few years down the line. The possibilities are paramount.
Intertwined Bands
Intertwined bands are an incredibly romantic and beautiful style that has been soaring in popularity. Perhaps that’s because these twisted bands aren’t just pretty: they are also symbolic, and represent the coming together of you and your partner.
This halo diamond engagement ring set is a classic example of this lovely trend. The center diamond is surrounded by a halo of diamonds that rests atop an intertwined band, creating a stunning and sweet effect.
