Multi-Stone Bands
If you really want an engagement ring that’s unique and unconventional, multi-stone bands and stackable rings are for you. Giving you creative freedom, don’t feel confined to the classic feature stone with smaller diamond accents. Go for mismatched cuts, artistic designs and edgy bands.

Not-So-Classic Solitaires
Don’t be fooled into thinking solitaire rings are boring - because this season’s iterations are far from it. An unexpected metal adds instant drama, while oval-shaped diamonds and just a few accent pave diamonds on the band are modern updates on the classics.
Emerald Cuts
Sharp, rectangular emerald-cut diamonds are back in a big way. For the classic bride, go minimalist with a centre emerald-cut diamond and a plain or pave setting around the band. Vintage brides should pair a large emerald-cut diamond with surrounding baguette diamonds or art deco-inspired triangular cuts.
