Rose Cut Diamond Engagement Rings

Calling all old souls: This engagement ring trend is a true throwback.  Popular in the 1500s, rose cut diamonds have a flat bottom and a domed top and resemble the shape of a rose bud. Since these antique diamonds are less faceted and lack the pavillion (read: the pointy bottom) of more complex cuts, their sparkle tends to look glassy and less brilliant than more modern options. Besides the obvious sentimental value of these old world sparklers, rose cut diamonds also  look larger than their actual carat weights due to their flat bottoms, meaning you get more bang for your buck.

 

hidden halo engagement rings

Hidden Halo Engagement Rings

Halo settings have been hot for years, but this new version offers a more understated take on an established engagement ring trend. A hidden halo is a setting where the sparkling halo of pavé diamonds sits just beneath the stone. Viewed from the top, the ring looks like a solitaire, but from the side, these intricate details up the glam factor. This 2020 engagement ring trend is perfect if you aren’t ready to commit to a traditional halo, or are in the market for a solitaire setting with a little something extra.

 

Two Stone Engagement Rings

Also called Toi et Moi rings (that’s French for you and me), an engagement ring with two stones stands out from the crowd and and offers twice the bling—what’s not to love about that? Besides the megawatt shine they offer, Toi et Moi engagement rings also have a special meaning: The two gems that sit side by side or close to each other symbolize two souls becoming one.
