Yellow Gold Bands…
This is one of many wedding trends clearly inspired by Meghan Markle. Yellow gold bands are versatile, working with both diamonds and colourful gemstones, as well as a variety of settings. The colour can also add a softness to the ring. This is just one of the engagement ring trends for 2019 that is vintage inspired.
Pear Shaped Stones…
There is a long list of celebrities who sported a pear-shaped ring in 2018. Their numerous benefits mean this style, along with other elongated stone shapes, will continue to grow in 2019. The reasons for their popularity is clear. Compared to round stones, pear shaped stones cost less per carat. Their elongated shape is also more flattering on the hand.
Multi Stone Rings…
This trend is likely to result in some of the more unique wedding and engagement rings of 2019. Multi stone rings allow for a greater level of personalisation and usually prominently feature two or three stones. A two stone ring can feature two similar stone, or two different ones to create an asymmetrical style. A three stone ring features a centre gem with a diamond or gemstone on either side. This is said to represent a couple’s past, present and future.
Halo Settings…
Another vintage style trend coming back in 2019 is the halo style setting. A halo setting features a centre stone encircled by smaller diamonds. This often makes the centre stone appear larger. While a halo setting is usually associated with a round tone, this year is set to see this setting used with a variety of stone shapes. This creates a more bold and individual design.
Coloured Stones…
Coloured stones have been popular for a few years and 2019 is no exception. From rubis and yellow diamonds to pink or blue sapphires and even multi-toned stones, there are many choices when it comes to adding some colour. A coloured centre stone is a great way to create a unique ring that reflects your personality. If you want to incorporate a traditional white diamond and some colour, a halo setting made from coloured gems is a great option. Click here for a few more reasons why we love coloured beauties!
Art Deco Style
Art Deco styling is a popular 2019 trend among those looking for vintage engagement and wedding rings. This style often incorporates a combination of some of the other trends of the year. Features of art deco styling include an emerald shape diamond, halo setting and trilogy of stones. Art Deco styles also frequently feature a coloured centre stone.
Lab Grown Diamonds…
These diamonds will grow in popularity this year, particularly among millennial couples. Made from the same materials as natural diamonds, these cultured diamonds have many of the same features. As their name suggests, they don’t require mining so are more sustainable, eco-conscious and have a low environmental impact.
