When choosing an engagement ring, the amount of choice made available to you can prove daunting. The style of ring, as well as the cut of the stone, and the colour of the band, can be difficult decisions, as they have a huge effect on the overall look and feel of the piece.
Engagement rings come in all shapes, sizes and colours. There’s not much you can’t do with an engagement ring, but naturally there are some crowd favourites. These favourites are popular for a reason. Displaying radiant beauty, they look fantastic on any hand size or colour.
At Gerard McCabe, we are Adelaide diamond experts, and design and create a stunning array of engagement rings. As such, we have a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the most popular and trending styles. Here are some of the most popular and trending types of engagement rings to help you in your decision-making process.
Despite a recent rise in popularity, yellow gold still comes in second to white gold as the most popular colour for engagement rings! There's no denying that white gold is extremely elegant and champions the brilliance of its diamond. Of course, yellow gold is still an excellent choice for warmer skin tones, or for brides after a more grand look!
The Aura and halo styles of engagement rings are very popular. With these, a significant central diamond is surrounded (haloed, if you will) by a collection of smaller diamonds. Unsurprisingly, the sparkle of these rings is always a winner!
Round-cut diamonds are by far one of the most popular cuts. This is because while some diamond cuts are only suited to particular hands, a round-cut diamond will grace the finger of any who wears it. It is a safe choice for those who aren’t sure which cut would be best, and they make for truly spectacular engagement rings!
Cluster engagement rings are the perfect choice for a bride who loves non-traditional, yet timeless design. Emerald-cut diamonds and geometric shapes are a celebrity favourite, and for good reason! This trilogy ring is the perfect example of an engagement ring that balances sophistication and style.
What better way to add something blue into your wedding than with a sapphire engagement ring? If you're after an engagement ring that's as captivating as it is regal, our favourite non-diamond engagement ring gemstone is the perfect choice!
Year by year, season by season, the popularity of certain styles, colours and cuts will change. What is important when choosing an engagement ring, is that you pick a ring that suits the person who will wear it, not the current trend.
