Ongoing Trends in Engagement Rings 2018
Saturday, February 10, 2018
The New Year brings to us a tide of joy as trendsetters and fashion lovers of the world collect together to craft and inspire new waves of designs in fineries. In jewelries, the wave of change has hit bringing to the domain a plethora of new and exciting developments. Old trends have been chucked out and in their place; new trends have come to beguile the buyers. Speaking of trends in rings in particular, there are quite a few styles that are gaining grounds early this year. Let’s take a sweeping glance through the hottest trends in rings this year.
Antique-Inspired Three Stone Rings
The most incredible development in the ring section is the fusion of two very popular styles. Both vintage-inspired and three-stone styles are phenomenally popular on their own. This year, when jewelers saw an opportunity in bringing them together, the result was an explosion. If you have set eyes on some of the finest three-stone vintage inspired rings, you will know what the furor is all about. The three-stone style blends mellifluously with ornate vintage-style bands, together creating a style that is so classic in its features and so modern in its appeal.
The East-West Style
The East-West style was only taking its first fumbling steps towards the end of 2017, and by the second week of 2018, it is all over the fine jewelry section. Believe it or not, this style has soared to top place in record time. The East-West style, if you don’t know is a setting in which gemstones are horizontally placed in the brackets instead of the regular vertical and upright position. This gives the ring a wider appearance which though calls for the bands to be made smaller, but has a very delicate appeal of its own.
Oval and Pear Takes Center Stage
Although classic cuts in diamonds like the round and princess are going to be retained in their popular positions, two less popular cuts called oval and pear are going to go up in the trends. Expect to see a lot of rings in engagement, wedding and regular sections wearing these two cuts. The carat advantage of these cuts has finally been recognized and jewelers are now crafting more and more rings using these two spectacular cuts. Both pear and oval cuts are available in ideal and other lesser grades.
Yellow Gold Back to Recall the Buyers’ Fascination
Finally, if you have started missing yellow gold rings, don’t feel disheartened because they are back. Yellow gold is back in the jewelry scene and is taking the galleries by storm. The metal is going to frequent the ring section and is going to make more appearances than it did in years. Although rose gold is going to remain a mainstay, bling will take over the designs reasserting itself in jewelries in general. And because colored gemstones is on this rise too this year, the return of yellow gold is most opportune to the status quo.
