What you get curious about when choosing an engagement ring is "are there trends?" and "what's a modern design?"
Since you're choosing, you want a design you can love for a long time, but you also mind the latest trends, right?
Here, we introduce clearly the "shifting of trends" in engagement rings and "how to choose free of trends."
Are there trends in engagement rings?
In fact, engagement rings have trends by era, too.
For example:
· 2000s: the classic prong (solitaire) style was mainstream
· 2010s: melee designs set with small diamonds, and delicate, dainty designs, were popular
· Lately: "half-eternity" easy for everyday use and "slim types you can stack" are drawing attention.
Just as fashion changes with the times, the "favored mood" of ring designs evolves little by little.
That said, there are also "trend-free" designs
💎 Solitaire (prong)
A single diamond is the star. Simple and classic, beautiful in any era.
💎 Melee type
A design adding small diamonds around the main diamond — glamorous and refined.
💎 Wave line
Fits the finger easily, popular for its feminine softness.
Regardless of trend, a design that "settles onto your hand" and "you love the moment you see it" is a ring you can love long.
If you want to incorporate trends, "understated" is the point
If you want to incorporate a trendy feel, enjoying it through material and fine details, rather than the whole design, is recommended.
· Add "a modern feel" with yellow or pink gold
· Show individuality through surface texture like milgrain or hammered finish
· Incorporate trends refinedly, like a slim ring with a small diamond set in
It becomes a design that incorporates trends yet is usable long without tiring.
Engagement rings have trends, but what matters is choosing "a design the two of you genuinely love."
The impression in photos and the mood when actually worn are completely different.
Do try on various designs at a nearby authorized store.
You're sure to meet "the one you'll always love."
