Halo and Double Halo Engagement Rings

A woman opening that gorgeous little box to find a halo engagement ring will most certainly have to take a moment to catch her breath. A halo engagement ring is another popular style in 2013 that features a center diamond surrounded by a “halo” of smaller diamonds. The halo of diamonds adds a little extra touch of flair and sparkle to the traditional diamond engagement ring.

A double halo engagement ring has the same style as a halo ring, but there is a second set of smaller diamonds around the center diamond. This ring is perfect for a woman who really loves the additional sparkle coming from her ring finger. There are many creative designs of this attractive engagement ring for the 2013 wedding season.

Intricate Settings

An engagement ring with a twisted band is a popular choice this year. This modern design moves past the traditional circular ring giving it an additional touch of style. A ring with a twisted setting may have a single diamond or a diamond flanked by smaller ones.

Bypass settings are another appealing style for 2013. This ring has a unique band that features two sections. The sections may display a single diamond each or a line of diamonds. A bypass ring often has twists in its design and diamonds that trail along throughout the setting. For more information, please visit our Intricate Settings page.

Vintage Inspired Engagement Rings

Women who love the imaginative ring styles belonging to the early twentieth century are usually the ones who admire vintage inspired engagement rings. These rings are particularly special because they don’t follow any rules when it comes to style. Many of these engagement rings feature an intricate floral design. For example, a vintage styled engagement ring may display a lovely sapphire surrounded by small diamonds made to look like the petals of a flower. Another vintage ring may be crafted in the design of a bow tie with a diamond in its center surrounded by a scattering of smaller diamonds. Vintage inspired designs with styles from the 1920s and 30s are appealing today because of the variety of shapes and stones incorporated into their designs.

Furthermore, she may if she wishes, choose a nontraditional gemstone such as a sapphire, ruby, emerald or amethyst. For additional info, please visit our Blue Sapphire Engagement Rings page.

Yet another celebrity inspired trend are rings with fancy cut diamonds like the Princess, Emerald and Oval shaped cuts. Designs like Angelina Jolie’s impressive six carat emerald cut diamond, will fuel the demand for diamond shapes beyond the traditional round cut.

Engagement rings with fancy cut diamonds are also desirable because they allow for unique designs based on the shape of the diamond, such as the popular square-shaped princess cut diamond. Also, check out our Princess Cut Engagement Rings page.
