Top 5 Engagement Rings of 2021

 

There’s a school of thought that says engagement rings don’t go in & out of fashion and that it’s all about personal choice!!!

The theory is that you find the ring you like most or that you fall in love with and that’s the one for you. And there may be some truth in that! But, with so many engagement ring styles on the market, how do you even start to narrow it down?

The answer, of course, is that you look for the most popular engagement rings around. It may lead you to the engagement ring of your dreams. It may just point you in the direction of the style that you’re looking for.

So, what are the top 5 engagement rings of 2021?

  1. COLORED STONE ENGAGEMENT RINGS

These have been huge so far this year. Colored stone engagement rings are popular with brides who convey a confident modern style. Many celebrities and influencers are sporting colored stone engagement rings that express a playfulness and sense of adventure that has been missing throughout 2020. Sapphires, emeralds and rubies are all proving popular, with many brides-to-be favoring large cuts as opposed to the more traditional round cut diamonds.

2021 is about vibrancy, color and celebration. And alluring colored gemstones against a yellow gold ring epitomizes that look. If your loved one is the outgoing type that exudes personality and is always the center of attention, you won’t go far wrong with colored gemstone engagement ring.

  1. CHUNKY ENGAGEMENT RINGS
Another bold statement and often paired with a colored stone, chunky engagement rings have a regal look and feel to them. Even more minimalist styles with small, inlaid stones are being set against brash, chunky rings that grab the eye and celebrate precious metals rather than gemstones. For those that want to fuse the modern and the classic, chunky gold rings, why not use the clean,  straight lines of the precious metal to add that weightiness, and a classic diamond  to provide the finesse?
