In fact the ordinary diamond and platinum engagement ring is not a norm for the contemporary brides, especially consider the fact that nowadays a bride-to-be can choose from the great range of options in terms of the cut, design and color. So we came up with the list of the engagement ring trends for 2013 that will allow you to stand out from the crowd and demonstrate your individuality.

Engagement Ring Trends

Vintage-styled engagement ring

Vintage-styled engagement rings made a big comeback lately, thanks to celebrities like Jessica Biel who received the Edwardian ring for engagement. Vintage-inspired rings are distinguished by the sophisticated and yet feminine design. For the year 2013 we suspect the vintage-themed engagement rings become even more popular.

Colored engagement ring

The tendency of the engagement rings with colored gemstones was influenced by the Duchess of Cambridge and her engagement ring. So a lot of contemporary brides tend to opt for the emerald, sapphire and yellow diamond rings instead of the ordinary white diamond ones.

Engagement ring with oversized stone

The trend of wearing the engagement rings with oversized diamonds is dictated by the large stones on fingers of A-list celebrities like Beyonce Knowles and Jennifer Aniston. However if your fiancé cannot afford buying a 4-carat engagement ring with excellent qualities, consider choosing a smaller stone with better characteristics like cut, clarity and color that will sparkle more than the massive stone with bad qualities.

Originally-shaped engagement ring

Contemporary brides tend to step aside from the ordinary round-cut diamonds and go for the originally-shaped stones such as pear, cushion, marquise and emerald.

Double-halo engagement ring

Two rows of small diamonds is also a popular option among the couples since it gives the effect of the bigger rhinestone at a suitable price.

Engagement ring with custom setting

The engagement ring trends apply not only to the ring makeover, but also to the box and settings, which are designed in close cooperation with future grooms. For instance, Kat Von D received an engagement ring with a black diamond encrusted into the silver band adorned with small skulls.

Combined metals in the engagement ring

Platinum has been a traditional setting for the engagement ring for a long time, but it is going to be replaced with the cheaper options like the white and yellow gold as well as silver in the future.
