Let’s talk about diamonds! Unique engagement rings have been more popular than ever in the last couple of years. We love that the rings are not only incredibly beautiful and well-designed but they are starting to reflect the bride's personality. We see new styles almost every day but there are a few that have stayed in our hearts (and dreams). Sometimes a big diamond isn't necessary to make a ring look beautiful. Check out our 5 favorite trends for engagement rings that will make you fall in love all over again.
By the way, if you are reading this blog, you probably have a wedding to plan soon! Our planning team has created a step-by-step wedding day timeline guide to help you plan your perfect event.

1. Gemstone
Straying from the traditional diamond setting, we have been in love with the idea of adding color to engagement rings. From Sapphires to Emeralds and even raw diamonds, here are some of our favorites.
2. Nesting Rings
Our absolute favorite are these gorgeous nesting engagement ring and wedding band sets. They range from boho and simplistic to classic and sophisticated. Check these out!
3. Minimal and Modern
These are for the brides in favor of a more simple ring with a modern twist. These rings may have dainty bands but the details are anything but plain!
4. Vintage Glam
This trend is for our glitter-loving brides. These rings look like antiques but have the perfect amount of fancy and glam to make your ring never feel outdated.
If you can't decide on one engagement ring, why choose? One of our favorite photographers, Laura Goldenberger captured one of our bride's engagement ring choices. The beautiful bride, Misha loved two very unique styles for her engagement and wedding band so instead of wearing them both on the same finger, she wears them separately or puts one on her left hand. Why not! Voilà! Four of our favorite engagement ring styles that we couldn't help but share with you. Let's admit it, these are absolutely dreamy!
5. Bezel Set Emerald Ring
This bezel set emerald ring by one of our favorite custom engagement ring designers, Love Vérité is so stunning! We love this alternative to a classic diamond. The unique setting and gold color create a modern vintage design.

Will I ever get tired of looking at gorgeous rings? Nope. Never. And I have an antique triple halo too, just like the middle ring in the last photo. It’s the love of my life (besides my husband). 🙂

I LOVE your ring! Having an antique or vintage ring is really special because it has a story behind it. I hope to pass mine on to my kids one day 🙂

Thanks Rachel! I actually just got my wedding band back from the designer and it’s a nesting ring too. Can’t wait to share photos!

I’m a sucker for big, sparkly diamonds but love that there’s more variety out there for brides to reflect every style and every personality. Great post!

I am a sucker for the nesting rings! I just adore that trend. However, my heart will always stop for a classic solitaire diamond.

I’m right there with ya on the solitaire! You can never go wrong with that.

Just read your post I have a question though. I’m getting married in a few months. I’m getting really worried about the coronavirus though. Do you think it’s smart to just stay the course or should I plan for a new date?

Hey Micheline, You’re not alone being worried about the virus. I do think you’ll see a drop in your guest count so I would first check with your venue and vendors about their policy for a decrease in attendance and if they can accommodate/refund the fees.

Greetings! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website?
I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had
issues with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform.
I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good
platform.

Hello there, There’s no doubt that your website might be having internet
browser compatibility issues. When I look at your web site in Safari, it looks fine however,
if opening in IE, it’s got some overlapping issues.
I simply wanted to provide you with a quick heads up!
Aside from that, wonderful blog!

You really make it seem really easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really one thing which I
feel I’d never understand. It kind of feels too complicated
and extremely broad for me. I’m having a look ahead in your next submit, I will try to get the grasp of it!

Its such as you read my mind! You seem to grasp a lot about this, like you wrote the e-book in it or something. I think that you just can do with a few to pressure the message home a bit, however instead of that, this is excellent blog. A fantastic read. I will certainly be back.
