The Top Engagement Ring Trends Of 2022

Keeping up with trends can be difficult. If you’re planning for 2022 to be the year of your proposal, start off on the right foot by taking a look at what’s trending in the world of engagement rings.

As we make our way through 2022, we see what engagement rings are already trending. Whether you are shopping together or planning a surprise proposal, you want a ring you’ll both love forever.

After the upheaval of the past few years, it’s becoming clear that ring-shoppers are finally feeling more stable and certain regarding the future – and they’re no longer holding back on the sparkle. 2022 is shaping up to be the year of the bling. Get ready for large diamonds and lots of them!

Pavé Engagement Rings

Pavé is popular, has always been popular, and will likely always be popular. It is no wonder why pavé engagement rings are dominating in 2022. They’re beloved due to their impact: size ratio.

Pavé diamonds are tiny – so they’re affordable, and pavé rings normally contain dozens of them – so you get ALL the facets. Pavé-set diamonds give rings a uniquely glittery quality, thanks to the hundreds of delicate facets that refract light in different directions with even the slightest shift of the finger.

Why aren’t pavé rings more expensive if they’re set with so many stones? Well, it’s because diamonds increase in value as their carat weight goes up, but the price increase is somewhat exponential.

In other words, a ring with a handful of tiny diamonds with a total weight of 1 carat will almost always cost less than a single, 1 carat diamond engagement ring. You get more diamonds, and you pay less.

Hidden Diamond Details

They say the devil is in the details, but in this case, the dazzle is in the details. Hidden diamond details are all the rage for 2022 and why not? Who doesn’t want to sparkle more?

Hidden diamond details are simply, small diamonds hidden in details on your engagement ring. More sparkle where you’d least expect it. Nothing wrong with that!

At James Allen, we believe sparkle is life, the more the better! That’s why our Ring Studio has this feature.

But wait, what’s the Ring Studio? Our Ring Studio allows you to design your engagement ring with the metal, stone, and setting of your choice. Numerous personalization options will have you feeling like a jeweler yourself!

One of these many options is the “Surprise Diamond.” This diamond is neatly placed at the base of the prong setting on your engagement ring. Adding just a bit more bling for the love that makes you shine.

Gemstone Engagement Rings

A pop of color doesn’t just complete a room, it can also complete your dream engagement ring. While diamond engagement rings often get all the glory, gemstone engagement rings have been popular since time immemorial and have fast become a top trend of 2022.

Gemstone engagement rings don’t just add color, allow you to express your personal style, or look gloriously glamorous; gemstone engagement rings add that something special you just can’t put your finger on (pun intended!).

Oval Diamonds

Oval diamond rings have always been popular and continue to find their spotlight in 2022. The way the oval elongates and flatters just about any finger makes this stone a modern classic. The soft edges allow the diamond to look stunning on its own or shine extra bright when highlighted by a pavé or halo setting.

Seen on the hands of royals for centuries and consistently worn by a bevy of celebrities, oval diamond engagement rings are a trend that will forever be in style.

Lab Created Diamond Engagement Rings

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: lab created diamonds are the stones of the future. Though lab diamonds were popular before 2022, the COVID pandemic and supply chain disruptions made them an even more attractive choice for ring shoppers.

Their alluring pricing and superb quality earned them first place on diamond enthusiasts’ wishlists, particularly those who are budget-conscious; for the same price as an earth-created diamond, consumers can get a lab grown diamond that’s 30% larger!

We don’t see this trend waning; on the contrary, sales of lab created diamonds have continued to increase year after year. Despite their different origins, earth created and lab grown diamonds are 100% chemically and structurally identical.

The difference in price comes from the fact that it’s much easier, and quicker, to grow a diamond in a lab than it is to locate and wrest it from deep within the earth. Creation process aside, once they arrive at your door they are completely identical in terms of quality, durability, and sparkle. That’s why we consider lab created diamonds to be the ultimate life hack.

Final Thoughts

If you’re shopping for rings in 2022, keep an eye out for pavé, vintage-inspired, lab created diamonds, and more! Creativity is king in 2022, and you are the designer.

Go for a classic oval diamond or a bold fancy black diamond, be perfectly seamless with a contoured set and grab a rock bigger than you imagined with a lab created option, either way, these 2022 trends will be in style long after we ring in the new year.

But most importantly, choose what you and your partner will love. Still unsure? Check out our Virtual Engagement Ring Try On so you can try it before you buy from the comfort of literally anywhere! Learn more about our virtual try on here.

Perfectly Trendy: Get On Board With Paper Clip Jewelry

May 26, 2022May 29, 2022bracelets, Diamonds, earrings, fine, Fine Jewelry, necklaces, Trending Ringsbracelets, diamonds, earring, fine jewelry, necklace, paper clip, white gold, yellow gold

Remember when you were bored in homeroom and you strung together with paper clips from your pencil case to pass the time. Or maybe you gave them to your friends to cement your friend clique. Either way, paper clip jewelry has come a long way! They are now THE trend so get on board! Whether a single strand or layering, paper clips have reached a new level of chic.

National Paper Clip Day

There truly is a day for everything and paper clips are no different. Created back in the 1800s and popularized in the early 1900s to the shape we know today, the paper clip was originally created to attach tickets to the fabric. Its use to keep paper together was soon discovered and thus it got its current name.

The man who popularized the paper clip’s current shape, Johan Vaaler, was mistakenly thought to be Norwegian. This led students at Oslo University to wear the paper clip during World War II as a symbol of resistance, unity, and national pride. The non-violent symbol was chosen because it represented binding things together.

National Paper Clip Day came into existence in 2015 and continues to be celebrated annually. Join James Allen as we celebrate National Paper Clip Day with our collection of paper clip fine jewelry.

Paper Clip Jewelry: Style Revamped

Whether this trend takes you back to homeroom or makes you nostalgic for the style of the 80’s, the paper clip necklace may be trendy but is anything but new. Created by Coco Chanel and made famous by none other than Jackie O herself, paper clip jewelry is actually a classic masquerading as a trend.

Paper clip necklaces have come a long way since you strung them together as a kid. Available in both yellow and white gold, as plain paper clip chains, and even accented with pearls, paper clip pieces need to be part of your fine jewelry collection. After all, if Jackie O and Coco Chanel approve, how can you go wrong?!

Join these style icons with a paper clip necklace from James Allen:

Why We Love The Paper Clip Jewelry

This industrial-chic style utilizes anywhere from one to multiple strands of paper clips in both slim and chunky styles. You can also jazz it up with a locket or something similar to close the piece, wear it in white or yellow gold, and pair it with both casual and fancier looks.

Traditionally, paper clip jewelry has been necklaces, but now you can find them as bracelets and earrings too! We love the versatility of this little piece of office equipment turned fine jewelry!

This fashion statement works great on its own but we love that it pairs effortlessly with diamond and gemstone jewelry. Any color, any shape, any size, it all works because the paper clip is so adaptable. Grab your own magnificently malleable paper clip pieces today!

How To Wear Paper Clip Jewelry

You already know this style is so amazing that you can wear it alone, layered, and with multiple other styles! But another reason to love this style is that it looks good in both short and long lengths. So whatever your height or body type, there is a paper clip necklace that is right for you! Are you taller? Go for a longer necklace to accentuate your height.

Are you all about that bass? Go for a necklace that stops just below your neckline. But truly, the right length for you is the one you love best! No matter which length you choose, the paper clip is sure to flatter.

And if you’re thinking, well I can only pair this with other modern pieces, think again! The paper clip look goes great with both modern, classic, and even vintage pieces. You truly have the freedom to express your personal style with this staple.

Layered or a single strand, around your neck, around your wrist, or hanging from your ears, paper clip jewelry is a look that continues to top the trendy charts. It is no wonder that everyone, including countless celebs, are loving this look.

Paper Clip Trivia

The world’s largest paper clip is currently a stainless steel creation standing approximately 30 feet high in Miass, Russia. Before this, a red paper clip memorial in Kiplin, Saskatchewan, stood as the largest paper clip in the world.

The red paper clip stood as a monument to Kyle MacDonald, who traded his way from a single red paper clip to a house. Prior to this, the world’s largest paper clip was in Sandvika, Norway, standing five meters tall as a national monument and a reminder of the paper clip’s role in the country’s history.

Paper Clip FAQs

Is it spelled paperclip or paper clip?

You can actually spell it both ways, but the more common way to spell it is as two words: paper clip

What is the paper clip theory?

Some philosophers have hypothesized that if AI or artificial intelligence were tasked with creating paper clips, it could cause an apocalypse! This is because more and more resources would be diverted to this effort and the AI would ultimately rebuff attempts to be turned off.

Better be safe and stick to paper clip jewelry instead!

What is a paper clip used for?

Paper clips were originally created to attach tickets to fabric and then became famous for what we know today, holding papers together.

Yet they do so much more! Forms of the paper clip are used to hold bags of unfinished chips together, fresher is better for that extra crunch! Or to hold fabric while a seamstress takes in that dress, or as a symbol to attach a document to an email.

The essential technology of the paper clip is unchanged. It is both as classic in its technology as it is in fashion.

What can I use instead of a paperclip?

You can use various clips, versions of the paper clip, rubber bands, or other binders. Instead of paper clip jewelry you can wear classic style chains or ball chains.

Clip That Paper

As the world moves in a more and more paperless direction, the paper clip continues to remain relevant. The paper clip emoji or symbol is used to indicate there is an attachment or as an indication that you can attach a relevant document or picture by clicking on the symbol.

While paper clips have many uses, our favorite is of course fine jewelry. Holding papers together is well and good, but completing an outfit is the best! So celebrate National Paper Clip Day every day with one of our fabulous pieces and always be on trend.

Your Guide To Rose Gold Engagement Rings

April 14, 2022July 4, 2022Engagement Rings, Trending Rings

Ever wondered, “what is rose gold”? Read on for everything you need to know about rose gold engagement rings—plus, some of our favorites you can shop right now only at JamesAllen.com.

Rose gold engagement rings are a unique alternative to traditional metal ring options like classic white gold or yellow gold rings. They’re the ideal choice for brides who want a ring that is elegant yet gorgeously distinctive.

Rose gold engagement rings and wedding bands for women have been climbing the popularity ranks for quite some time now, especially among many celebrities like Blake Lively and Leighton Meester. It’s no wonder rose gold rings are finding their way onto the wishlists of more non-traditional brides everywhere around the world.

What Is Rose Gold?

Let’s start with the basics. Rose gold is a blend or alloy of gold, copper, and silver. It is the copper that gives rose gold its gorgeous, characteristic pink hue. The more copper in the alloy, the pinker it looks. While there is a common misconception that rose gold is not “real gold” because it’s a mix of metals, in reality rose gold is real, but it’s just not 100% gold.

The History Of Rose Gold

It is believed that during the 19th century, rose gold was first used by czar jeweler Carl Fabergé when he was tasked with creating ornate Easter eggs as gifts for Russian tsars Alexander III and Nicholas II’s families. At the time, rose gold was known as Russian Gold because of its historical importance. However, this unique pink-hued metal didn’t become fashionable until around 1924, when Cartier used rose gold in his iconic trinity ring. So yes, rose gold is not new to the jewelry world.

Are Rose Gold Rings More Expensive?

One of the most common misconceptions of rose gold is that it tends to be more expensive than yellow or white gold. But the truth is, this is not the case. Just like an engagement ring, rose gold engagement rings vary in price. Essentially, it all comes down to the carat size, weight of the gold content in your ring, gemstones and diamonds and other details such as the setting or complexity of its design. Rose Gold is made with the same purity of gold as Yellow and White Gold, so the color of the metal of your ring will definitely not affect its overall price.

Besides Diamonds, What Gemstones Suit Rose Gold?

Apart from stunning, radiant diamonds there are also many colored gemstones that look amazing with rose gold engagement rings. These include, morganite and pink sapphires.

The warm, pink hue of the precious metal complements the feminine shades of pink. And if you’re looking for something extraordinary, a gemstone and diamond combination often works very well too.

What Type Of Bride Would Rose Gold Be Most Suitable For?

If you’re an adventurous bride-to-be looking for an engagement ring that is not just unique but also features a feminine, soft and romantic touch then opting for a rose gold metal is exactly what you need to stand out from the crowd. An engagement ring should not just be a symbol of your love but also needs to be a reflection of your personal style.

Whether you’re after something vintage or a ring more chic and contemporary, rose gold has the flair to complement any kind of setting and style. While tradition suggests that yellow gold best suits ‘cool’ skin and white jewelry suits ‘warm’ skin tones, the rosey pink hues rose gold looks equally beautiful on every skin tone.

Are Rose Gold Engagement Rings A Popular Choice?

The answer is, YES! Rose Gold has become more and more popular throughout the years. With a variety of styles and designs to choose from, you’re guaranteed to find your perfect dream ring. The blushing pink hues and the warm romantic feel have captured the hearts of many brides to be. Plus, if you’re wanting a metal that is a lot more subtle than yellow gold, rose gold is exactly what you need.

Rose Gold Symbolism

Rose gold is delicate, whimsical, and full of deeper meaning, and its color is unlike any other jewelry metal. It is often associated with passion and is considered to be a symbol of love and romance because of its lavish pink shade. The warm and rich metal also portrays a sense of style and elegance but also shows off your sense of fashion. The pinkish tones also signify femininity, although rose gold is not only intended for women.

How Do I Clean My Rose Gold Engagement Ring?

Caring for rose gold jewelry is very straightforward and easy to clean. Because of its copper content, rose gold doesn’t tarnish and instead develops what’s called a patina. A patina is a sheen that develops on certain metals over time due to oxidation, which gives the metal a gorgeous vintage look. Essentially, rose gold will stay beautiful with very little maintenance.

To care for your rose gold diamond engagement ring, you can simply soak it in warm water with a mild soap for a few minutes before giving it a light scrub with a very soft toothbrush or a cloth. To avoid damaging your ring please do not use any type of vinegar solution.

Use a mixture of lukewarm water and a small amount of dish soap to soak the ring for 1-2 hours. After that, gently use a toothbrush to clean the crevices and dry with a clean towel.

Is Rose Gold Durable?

While pure gold is soft, rose gold is slightly different when it comes to durability as it contains copper. Jewelry experts maintain that copper is one of the most durable metals, so adding it to gold makes for a sturdy alloy that can easily withstand daily wear. There is a good reason as to why it’s used in industrial construction and engineering – this is tough stuff! So, rest assured, rose gold is long-lasting and will look beautiful in years to come.

What Diamond Shape Is Best For Rose Gold?

Just like all metals, the type of diamond you choose for your rose gold engagement ring is important. Experts believe that diamonds such as emerald and Asscher cut should generally be avoided with rose gold bands. These diamond shapes tend to draw light from the bottom of the diamond, meaning, a rose gold band could easily make a colorless diamond appear to have a rosy tint.

Of course, there are restrictions when it comes to diamond shapes for rose gold rings but the most preferred shapes tend to be round, pear, heart and oval shaped diamonds.

Everyone deserves to wear a piece of jewelry that is as unique as they are. For men, traditional yellow and white gold wedding bands are just the tip of the iceberg in men’s wedding jewelry trends. Join us as we explore statement styles of one-of-a-kind forever rings.

Believe it or not, there are more to men’s wedding bands than the simple and popular classics. There are men’s wedding rings that come in all shapes, sizes, and styles. From a touch of extravagance with diamond rings to alternative metals with patterns and textures aplenty, skies are truly the limit on choices for men’s wedding bands today.

It’s all a matter of preference and taste. At James Allen, we value our customer’s individuality and unique styles. That’s why we’ve taken the time to highlight ten exquisite rings that are sure to stand out and show off the personality of their wearers. After all, a wedding ring is a symbol of two partners’ love and unity.

Picking a wedding ring for your future husband should take some time and thought. It’s not always easy to get it right, but the trick is to go with something that reflects your partner’s unique style and character. Read on while we unpack our top 10 most unique men’s wedding bands.

Textured Wedding Bands

Textured wedding rings offer dimensions to any band while gracefully hinting at the personality and interests of their wearers. These rings are perfect for men who work with their hands, enjoy outdoor activities, and like a rugged look to their most precious accessory.

Textured rings can be rough, with indented, grooved, and carved features circling the band. Unlike smooth and polished surfaces, these rings accentuate the idea that there’s a masculine edge to them without taking away from the true meaning behind a traditional wedding band.

These unique men’s wedding bands are on the rise and come in just about any gold and alternative metal. Their versatility makes it easy to get the metal of your choice and the style you prefer.

Two-Toned Wedding Bands

Men’s two-toned wedding rings come in a wide range of styles and materials. Combine two metals in a stripe or line around a thicker wedding band for a delicate touch or create more dimensions to a narrow band.

A two-toned wedding ring will perfectly reflect your love and your partner’s unique sense of style in one polished band. It’s the ideal choice if your groom’s personality is bold and he loves to stand out.

They say diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but we know even the roughest and toughest gentlemen will oh and ah over the brilliance of a little sparkle.

Diamonds are resilient and can handle the obstacles of any man’s lifestyle while being the perfect representation of strength and eternal love. This unique men’s wedding band looks excellent as a thicker ring, and the diamonds simply add a touch of glamour for the groom.

Gemstone Wedding Bands

If diamonds aren’t your style but you’re still looking for something with a bit of sparkle, a hint of color may be just what the doctor ordered. Precious gemstones are rare and full of spirited meaning, like sapphires, for example. These stones have typically represented longevity and prosperity for centuries.

You don’t have to believe wholeheartedly in their symbolism to know that they make for stunning unique men’s wedding bands. The darker blues and blacks give the wedding ring a handsome and bolder look while hinting at a more luxurious style.

Patterned Wedding Bands

Now for the fun men’s wedding rings. Patterned wedding bands can be the perfect choice for any groom who loves the idea of wearing a piece of jewelry that has indented symbols, pictures, or artful motifs. A personalized design is our equivalent to a custom-designed ring. It shows the heart of its wearer while giving them everything they’ve ever wanted in their wedding band.

Patterned rings are just as versatile as textured wedding bands and are not limited to a specific metal. You can get a patterned ring on a budget by opting for an alternative metal if you’re looking for something less traditional and a bit more flashy.

These unique men’s wedding bands can give that something extra while showing off the wearer’s personality through its art. We also find these rings to be a thoughtful, romantic gesture. Gifting your soon-to-be husband with a ring that speaks to his style, identity, and even his favorite interest shows just how much you care. There will be no question as to how much effort you’ve put into getting the perfect wedding band.

In today’s modern culture, it’s likely you, the groom’s partner, will buy his wedding ring. You can do this by yourself or with the help of your family. Alternatively, if you and your fiancé have a shared budget, then you can both decide how much to spend on your rings together.

How Much Should You Spend On The Wedding Band?

It all comes down to your budget and the groom’s expectations. It’s important first to work out what style band he would prefer. The more expensive metals like platinum and diamond rings can push you just past $2000. In comparison, you can get alternative metal bands starting at $100 and classic wedding rings starting at $270.

Do Men Also Wear Engagement Rings?

Traditionally the person who proposes to their partner would not wear an engagement ring. However, traditions are changing, and it has more to do now with what you as the couple want.

Men’s engagement rings are increasing in popularity, and so if it works for your budget and it’s something you’d both like, hop on the new trend!

The Trend That Won’t Quit: Pearl Engagement Rings

March 10, 2021July 4, 2022Engagement Rings, Trending Ringsjune birthstone, june birthstone jewelry, pearl birthstone, pearl birthstone jewelry, pearl engagement rings, pearl jewelry, rose gold engagement rings, yellow gold engagement rings

Pearls have always been a reliable classic, and lately, they’ve been undergoing a serious refresh as the hottest new engagement ring trend. You definitely need to take a deeper look at these underwater beauties – and here’s why!

Pearl engagement rings are riding in on a sparkling new wave that’s all their own. Forget clutching your pearls! These statement pieces are far from those dull, staid stereotypes.

How Pearls Are Made – And Harvested

We have the friendly oyster to thank for these luminescent beauties. Oysters are critical parts of the marine ecosystem; in nature, they inhabit the tidal zones of either freshwater or saltwater bodies and perform numerous functions. They clean water through filtration, they form oyster reefs that provide homes for smaller organisms, they’re a sustainable food source, and of course: with the right stimulation, certain oyster species produce pearls.

Oysters are living organisms that thrive under specific conditions. And they need to thrive in order to produce pearls. Pearl farmers place them in natural environments – either on oyster frames, or artificial oyster reefs.

After growing for a number of months, pearl farmers “nucleate” the oysters; they insert a tiny bead along with a small portion of tissue from another oyster. This gently irritates the oyster, which secretes a smooth substance called nacre, or mother of pearl, around the bead in order to protect itself from further irritation. Over the course of months or years, the layers of nacre accumulate and, eventually become a recognizable pearl.

Why Pearl Harvesting Is So Sustainable

At this point, the small pearl is often carefully extracted, and replaced by another bead. This bead often becomes a much larger pearl in the now-mature oyster. This oyster may continue to produce more pearls, or it may be either released or “retired.” If, in fact, the oyster is retired – a.k.a. used up – then no part of the oyster goes to waste: the pearl is harvested, the meat is eaten, and oyster shells (which are rich in calcium carbonate) are often ground up to be used as a nutrient-rich addition to animal feed or other on-land farming processes.

The bottom line: pearl farming actually benefits the environment!

Not to mention, pearl designs are just plain pretty. They’re the perfect mix of timeless & fresh, and more and more couples (including celebrities couples like Emma Stone and Dave McCary) are choosing to forgo diamond engagement rings in favor of pearls.

Here are 5 reasons why pearl engagement rings are the perfect match for the next generation of ring shoppers:

Reason #1: They’re Unique

Pearls are the only creature-made gemstones – which is cool. They’re sustainable, which is even cooler. And just like diamonds, no two pearls are quite the same. Why? The conditions in which pearls are created vary, just like those needed to form diamonds. But rather than underground heat, pressure, and minerals, pearls’ unique qualities are determined by their specific oyster’s anatomy and chemistry. Meaning, each oyster leaves its mark on the pearls it creates, imbuing all pearl engagement rings with incredible stories.

Split-Shank Pearl Engagement Ring

This double-banded pearl engagement ring will criss-cross your ring finger forever. A delicate basket in the shape of four leaves cups the pearl as it “blooms” upon its yellow gold band.

Cultured Pearl & Diamond Vine Ring

This crossover pavé design is a head-turning, diamond-studded twirl of a ring. White gold vines climb along the sides of this large, freshwater pearl.

Reason #2: They’re Budget-Friendly

It’s never a bad idea to consider your wallet, and pearls are a fraction of the cost of diamonds. That’s because the cost of harvesting jewelry-grade pearls is much, much less than that of mining gemstones or growing them in a lab. All in all, pearl engagement rings are one of the best options for the conscientious ring shopper who doesn’t want to compromise on luxury.

Side Trio Pearl Engagement Ring

Center diamond? No thank you. A center pearl is on the menu today, with a smattering of delicate diamond side-stones. This classic engagement ring style, which usually features an eye-catching diamond, instead shows the power of an equally gorgeous freshwater gemstone.

Vine Motif Freshwater Pearl Ring

For the jewelry lover who also adores flowers, this ring is a find. A basket of diamond-dotted leaves and buds cups a large freshwater pearl, allowing it to perch daintily on your finger like a delicate blossom.

Reason #3: They’re the June Birthstone

If your partner is a June baby, then you should take a deeper look at pearl engagement rings. To add an extra summery touch, set off your eye-popping pearl in yellow gold. And if you’re looking to celebrate special occasions throughout the year, check out our full range of birthstone jewelry.

Reason #4: They Come in All Designs

With new rings, trends come new freedom to explore designs! An artistic license is the name of the game. If you’re a fan of haute-couture, pearl engagement rings are treasure troves of shapes, patterns, and charm.

Nested Pearl Engagement Ring

Get ready for an engagement ring like no other: a cream-colored freshwater pearl resting in textured layers of gold brings to mind a proud egg nested safely in a bird’s nest.

Open Circle Pearl Engagement Ring

Maybe one large center pearl isn’t for you. Maybe what you love are delicate seed pearls, arranged perfectly in an open ring. The negative space of this ring shows off the individual beauty of each tiny, perfect pearl.

Reason #5: They Go With Everything

That pearly sheen is more than a simple blank slate – it also enhances its surroundings. Pearls are perfect companions to other precious stones like morganite and sapphire. You can always give a nod to tradition by adding accent diamonds; they complement pearls beautifully!

Sapphire, Diamond, and Pearl Engagement Ring

Push your center pearl to the forefront with a duo of dark blue, pear-cut sapphires. An Akoya pearl, a particularly bright white type of pearl, is additionally flanked by two subtle bands of small, shining, pavé-set diamonds.

Following a year of challenges and uncertainty, people are all about keeping it simple (and sparkly!) in 2021.

3. Personalized Creations

Today, more people are choosing to add their two cents into the ring-making process, with some couples even designing a ring together. In 2021, we’re predicting a rise in custom-made engagement rings and non-traditional styles. Speaking of customizing, we recommend adding a free engraving to your ring at checkout for an extra special touch. Need ring-spiration? Feast your eyes on some of our customer creations, then try your hand at designing your very own.

4. Lab Created Diamonds

There’s no doubt that earth created diamonds contain millennia of history, tradition, and romance. But what about the new sparkle on the block? We’re referring to lab created diamonds of course – an equally dazzling and cost-effective alternative which we’re expecting to explode in 2021.

Lab created diamonds are optically and chemically identical to earth created diamonds and are generally about 30% more affordable. Plus, they look great with every ring, no matter what you choose.

Men’s Engagement Rings

January 31, 2020November 28, 2022Engagement Rings, Trending Ringsengagement rings, men's engagement bands, men's engagement rings, mens rings

Women aren’t the only ones wearing engagement rings.

It’s 2020 and men’s engagement rings are FINALLY here and getting recognized in their own right. Men are also participating in this age-old proposal tradition and honoring their newly engaged status! However, distinguishing a man’s engagement ring isn’t always clear-cut.

So – what’s the difference between a man’s engagement ring and his wedding ring?

Simply put, they can be whatever you’d like. New(ish) traditions come with a huge advantage: you can make them your own. Men’s engagement rings and wedding rings may be interchangeable, the only difference being that they’re worn at different times.

Men’s engagement rings may be worn up until the wedding ceremony, upon which they’re taken off and put on again in order to symbolically become wedding rings. Some men also choose to buy one ring for the marriage proposal and another for the wedding.

Mix, match, replace, swap – there are endless ways to design your engagement ring and/or wedding set.

CLASSIC ENGAGEMENT RINGS

Classic men’s engagement rings come in unadorned white gold, yellow gold, rose gold or platinum. They feature clean lines, simple composition, and are free of any detailing.

For those who adore all the trends, rose gold oval engagement rings are simply hypnotizing!

Oval-cut diamonds and rose gold are (yes!) getting their turn in the spotlight! The combination of these two trends infuses engagement rings with a feminine, old Hollywood-esque style. So grab your popping-est red lipstick and strike a glamorous silhouette, because rose gold oval engagement rings are here!

Rose Gold and Oval-Cut Diamonds: Tell Me More!

Go for rose gold:

Rose gold is a gold/copper alloy beloved for both its durability and romantic pink hue.
This metal has caught the public’s attention as celebrities like Blake Lively and Alison Brie have rocked their utterly to-swoon-for rose gold engagement rings.

Come full oval:

An elongated version of the classic round brilliant cut, the oval-cut diamond is timeless and fresh all at once.
The extended oval shape creates two super-desirable optical illusions: the stone appears larger than its carat weight and elegantly “lengthens” the wearer’s fingers.
