1. Oval Cut Diamonds
While oval diamonds have been a popular diamond cut the past few years, they have skyrocketed in popularity this summer. This popularity is because the oval cut diamond is versatile in many styles and universally flattering on every hand type. But most of all, the reason oval diamonds have soared in popularity this past summer is because they hold more surface area than the other diamond cuts, making them appear larger than they actually are! This unique quality also maximizes the oval cut’s sparkle, making the most popular diamond cut this summer.
2. Mixed Metal Stacks & Wedding Sets
If you can’t decide between yellow or white gold for your wedding ring, don’t worry, you no longer have to! The trendy mixed metal wedding set consists of a ring and band made of two different golds or metal. You can wear multiple types of metals at the same time including white, yellow or rose gold. Not only does a mixed metal stack allow versatility and experimentation in one’s jewelry, it’s also a fun way to express your unique style. Most importantly, wearing this type of ring set will ensure your engagement ring stands out from the rest!
3. Unique Ring Settings: Toi Et Moi, Bezel Setting, East-West Setting
Our clients are ensuring their rings are one of a kind by customizing unique ring settings that intertwine with their love story and lifestyle. Popular choices have included the toi et moi, the bezel setting and east-west setting.
A toi et moi, translated to “you & me” in French, is a two stone setting that represents the relationship between two partners. These two stones can be any shape, but a popular pairing is the pear cut and a more square cut like the princess or emerald cut. The toi et moi can also include different color diamonds or gemstones.
The bezel setting is perfect for clients often on the go or using their hands. The bezel ensures your diamond is extra secure in its ring, thanks to the setting completely surrounding the diamond. While this may take away some of its sparkle, it protects from potential chipping and is a great option for those who are very active, or simply interested in a more unique look.
The east-west setting is the most recent setting trend we’ve seen, but its impact is already great. The ring setting turns the classic engagement ring on its head, literally. East-West rings simply flip an elongated stone, like the emerald or oval cut, horizontally so it is perpendicular on one’s ring finger. It makes the center diamond appear larger, and can have other unique design choices added on, like the bezel setting.
