All About Diamond and Gemstone Jewelry

Posted by admin in Oval Diamond at January 24, 2010

Diamond jewelry, especially engagement rings, has gone through many trends over the years. Vintage rings come and go out of popularity, and contemporary rings have their share of going up and down as well. If you’re looking for the perfect engagement ring, here are some ideas about where engagement ring trends are going.

Solitaire diamond engagement rings are still very popular. According to research, the round diamond shape on engagement rings is the most popular. Jewelry retailers predict that contemporary diamond cuts like the princess cut are going to be in high demand this season. Traditional oval and pear shaped diamonds are going to be pretty trendy too.

Another popular trend for engagement rings consists of recreating old antique designs with modern tools. Contemporary jewelry making methods can now reproduce vintage engagement ring designs with more detail.

The most popular metal used for modern engagement rings is platinum. Platinum is very durable and lustrous. You won’t have to worry about platinum fading like you would with sterling silver or certain gold settings. Yellow gold is still the classic choice, but many modern engagement rings contain both yellow gold and platinum; two-tone rings are very common these days.

If you want to give her a bright, colorful ring, it is being reported that colored diamonds such as pink, canary yellow, and blue are very popular. White diamonds will always remain classy and glamorous, though. Brown “cognac” diamonds, as well as champagne diamonds, are also great sellers.

Thankfully, many jewelers now offer you the flexibility to choose and customize the engagement ring yourself. Whether you want to get her an engagement ring with a contemporary style or a vintage-replica, you will have the options to do so. If you feel she’d appreciate a bright, colorful diamond or a classy white diamond, diamond jewelry stores will provide you with a variety of colors to choose from. When it comes to engagement rings, you will be presented with a large number of choices. Thankfully in this day and age, engagement ring settings are very easy to narrow down to her specific needs.
