2017 Engagement Ring Trends

Bridal season has arrived! Everyone is talking about this year’s trends for wedding dresses, ceremony destinations and reception decor, but what about the first step that starts the wedding planning… the proposal. Finding the perfect engagement ring is overwhelming. You want it to be perfect and to reflect her personality, as she will be wearing it for the next 50 years. To start your research process, we’ve rounded up our favorite trending engagement ring styles we see trending throughout 2017.

Color Comeback

Diamond alternatives set the bride apart from the crowd when done with a splash of color; blue sapphire, daring emerald to pale pink sapphires. For a touch of color try a pink diamond halo to add detail and softness to the ring.

Fancy Shapes

Brides are breaking away from the traditional round, brilliant diamond for the unique shapes like emerald, oval and pear. For a truly unique diamond cut, Ashoka by Kwiat appears 30% larger than an emerald cut of the same carat weight and even larger to other fancy shapes.

Halos

Halos draw attention to your center stone, and visually, the ring appears bigger. For a unique take on the halo, look for geometric or vintage inspired ornate halos with an intricate design.

Whimsical

Engagement rings are in full bloom with garden-inspired, floral halo designs with petal and vine details on the shank. Rose gold bridal also fits in this trend for a soft romantic hue.

Modern Romantic

Art Deco inspired with clean defined geometric lines is the perfect contemporary look for today’s modern bride. Explore the idea of different diamond shapes like this cushion center with tapered baguette sides.

Side Views

“Surprise” details add character and give spotlight to every angle of the ring. We also see this trend in men’s wedding bands with black diamonds on the inside edge for hidden detail.

Intertwined Love

Multi-band and intertwined, twist rings represent two lives coming together to become one. A split shank allows more light to come through with the illusion of more diamonds on every angle of the ring.

East West

Horizontal diamond presentations are creative and unique. For this look, try a pear, oval, emerald, or marquise shaped diamond. Placing the diamond on its side gives an illusion of a larger carat weight.

 “I do” Stacks

Bands are music to the ears for someone who is active or in a profession where they use their hands often. When it is time to look for the wedding band(s), have fun experimenting with different designs and metals. Bands are great “add-ons” to celebrate milestones in your life together.
