New engagement ring trends

Take a trip back to high-school math class. Remember all those fun shapes you encountered while you were trying to learn your points from your intersections? They're back! Many of today's hottest rings are all about geometry. Pears, ovals, marquise, and even heart-shaped diamonds make for an architectural engagement ring that's both eye-catching and unique.

Custom ring designs

Brides are all about personalizing their wedding days, and in 2010, they're customizing their engagement rings too. In fact, nearly 70 percent of brides get involved in the ring selection process. There's been an increase in special orders for brides who want to combine all of the design elements they love into one picture-perfect ring. When you're ring shopping, ask to see different diamond shapes and sizes; then, show the jeweler what kind of band you'd like designed. Today, about a third of engagement rings are custom-designed, so you'll be right in the mix! And don't worry; the jeweler will work with you.

Gold and rose-gold bands

White metals, like platinum, will always be popular with brides, but gold bands are making a big comeback this year. This is partly thanks to the reemergence of retro-inspired elements in pop culture that have become a hit with brides. Rose-gold settings are ideal for the vintage-loving bride looking for a ring with a more nostalgic feel. Gold can also be a more budget-friendly option, depending on the market price.

Intricate bands

An embellished band with intricate details _ whether they're in the shape, etchings, or stones _ adds that extra-special something to an engagement ring. Ribbon-twist bands and split-shank bands are popular alternatives to the more traditional styles.
