Modern Engagement Rings

Modern Engagement Ring Trends

Many women want modern styled engagement rings that are fashionable and timeless. Diamonds are very traditional for engagement rings of course, but more stones are being incorporated to update the look of the diamond.

Modern engagement rings which can be paired with a “nesting” wedding band are very popular among brides. This allows the bride to wear her wedding band and engagement ring together comfortably after the wedding. Also the rings will match nearly exactly to look more like a single medium to large sized ring rather than 2 stacked rings.

Three stone rings are another popular trend of modern engagement rings. To make the three stone eternity symbol even more modern employing different sizes of stones or different cuts can make the piece more unique and interesting.

Building A Custom Engagement Ring

Many companies allow couples to build a custom engagement ring. A modern engagement ring trend is for the groom to either custom chooses the design for his bride to be or to propose with the empty band alone and take the bride to be with him to custom design the ring.

Modern engagement rings will use cuts that accentuate the brilliance of the diamond; some of these cuts include princess cuts, emerald cuts, or round cuts. Each of these will cut the tops at an angle to allow more light to sparkle throughout the stone.

Additionally some couples choose to use other precious gems in place of diamonds as a center stone, and simply use the diamonds as accent pieces. The reverse is also true; a woman can have her ring built with a solitaire diamond in a raided setting with her birthstone (or that of the groom to be) laid into the band to create a very personal and modern engagement ring.

Choosing complimenting shapes and sizes of stones can also make a very modern engagement ring look; a round center stone with a small triangle cut emerald on each side could look like a white rose for example.

Mixing shapes for a modern art type of feel or revitalizing Art Deco designs can make a modern engagement ring stand apart from the crowd while maintaining a timeless feel. Art Deco rings will tend to have bold designs with clean lines while mixing shapes could incorporate a two or three stones or a pave setting.

A modern engagement ring is all about personal taste, the brilliance of the stone, timeless wear-ability, and a unique personal touch to stamp the piece for one woman. A modern engagement ring can make a woman feel as one of a kind and special as the groom to be believes she is.
