By Shari Evans


Getting married is a very special time is everyone's life. Before you can make it to the big day, you have to plan your proposal. Having just the right ring is the best way to ensure your proposal goes well. You may have already talked about ring styles with your girlfriend, but if not, it can be difficult to know what style ring to choose. If you are having trouble deciding on a ring, take a look at some of the current engagement ring trends for inspiration.

There are many ways to track wedding ring trends, and right now, the trends offer something for every type of style. The top three trends right now allow you to find a ring the suits your girlfriends personal style all while sticking with current engagement ring trends. Here is a look at three of the most coveted engagement ring trends for this season.

Top three engagement ring trends

Pave settings are very popular this year. The band of a pave setting includes diamonds set into different channels that run along the top and sides of the band. This style allows diamonds to dominate the overall look of the ring insuring it sparkles from every angle. The diamonds are often set into white gold or platinum to maximize the look of an entirely diamond ring. You can still get plenty of bling without the pave setting while still achieving a similar look. Channel set diamonds along only the top side of a wedding band will lend your ring a similar look at a fraction of the cost. If you are on a budget, this approach may allow you to purchase a larger center diamond.

The second major trend that is appearing in engagement ring design collections for this season, are uniquely shaped diamonds. There are still plenty of options for people who want to be more traditional, but if you look to the past you may find inspiration to help you incorporate this new trend. Marquise, pear, and emerald shaped diamonds are just a few of the unique new shapes that can be found in today's current engagement rings. In the past at one time or another, all of these shapes once appeared on the hands of the rich and famous. For an even more unique look, the cut of the diamonds is not the only way to have a ring with a unique shape, diamonds arranged in floral or heart patterns are also popular this season.

Finally, white diamonds are too traditional for many designers this season. Colored diamonds and other colored gemstones are being used to add a splash of color to many of this season's most unique engagement rings. Yellow and pink diamonds or sapphires are among the most popular colored stones being used.
