“As the younger, adventurous generations begin to get engaged, colored diamonds are becoming more widely recognized in engagement rings. Yellow diamonds are among the most popular of the colored set and will be top contenders for 2018 rings.”

Micro Pavé has been a favorite for years now but setting it in Rose Gold is this year’s way of making it stand out. Mixing metals, especially through a stack of rings including engagement rings and wedding bands, is a new trend that will stick around for a while.
“Rose Gold has become prevalent in jewelry over the past couple of years, especially everyday pieces. Creating a popular style like the Micro Pavé band in Rose Gold is an update that we plan to see all over the place this year.”
#2 Cushion Cut Diamond Set in a Halo

A stunner every time as the Halo perfectly frames the glittering Cushion Cut center, this leading design will continue to top the list.
“Halo settings gained popularity quickly due to their ability to make center stones appear larger and more brilliant. We see this style sticking around for a long time to come.”
#1 Meghan Markle’s Three-Stone Ring

The royal engagement ring’s three-stone design with two round stones flanking a large round center, will be re-interpreted time and time again over the course of 2018, making it the most notable style for the year to come.
“Meghan Markle’s classically beautiful three-stone engagement ring will be amongst the most coveted of all styles for 2018. Round diamonds are always a fan favorite on their own, add in the royal stamp of approval and it shoots to the top of the list.”
