“I’m so ready for our future together” -Unknown

As the first half of 2021 rolls through we thought it went by in a breeze! Today on the blog we thought we’d take a step back & check out some of the popular Engagement Trends of the year, and give some good ideas for those who have their eyes on a ring or a few!

These are what brides are keeping an eye out for, so they are something to consider when making that special purchase.

One of a Kind Touches

Nothing stands out more than a one of a kind piece made just for you. With the rise of CAD software many people are seeking out a custom engagement or wedding ring made just for them. Finding ways to incorporate pieces of you & your personality into a ring is a magical feeling. We can work with you to create something that speaks to who you are, and something that no one else will have.



Bands in Town

Traditional center stone rings are on the outs as band style rings are in. Taking a page from European traditions, many brides are bypassing engagement rings all together and going straight to the wedding bands that can be used for engagements and weddings alike. With bands that serve a dual purpose it gives a calm to the stress of planning a wedding or the worry of having yours postponed.



Classical Twists

Solitaire and 3 stone rings are not yesterday's news either. A lot of brides are opting to take new spins on traditional rings. Having something that is so classic it never goes out of style, yet is brought up to modern times with accents or alterations is a perfect win for some brides. These rings are always going to be there, they have stuck around time and time again. Fall in love with these new approaches!



Make it Metal

Using alternative metals & stones is where it’s at this year. With many brides wanting something unique that catches the eye, the idea of using non traditional gemstones or metals is blowing up. Colorful gemstones can be just as shining as a single diamond, and Rose Gold can be just as breathtaking as white gold. Not everyone wants a traditional solitaire round cut diamond sitting on their finger, and those people are making themselves known.



No matter what style engagement ring is right for you, we would love to help you find it. From a custom CAD ring to a traditional 3 stone round diamond ring we’ve got it all.We hope this list gives you some ideas to keep in mind when finding the perfect ring. We want to celebrate your future together so you can Fall in love with the moment!
