Fashions in both jewelry and clothing seem to constantly cycle back over the classics, resulting in renewed interest in older, more traditional designs. The same concept also occurs with regards to engagement rings. There are many traditional types of rings that are now resurging in popularity, either in settings, bands or diamond cuts.
If you are looking for a different style or cut of diamond you may not need to look ahead to the future but rather look back into the past. Cushion cut diamonds have become much more popular due to their soft, subtle appearance and beautiful reflective properties. Other traditional and still popular classic diamond cuts include the solitaire in either round or oval as well as the princess and emerald shape and cut.
For a new shape or cut that isn't common, look towards geometric shapes such as the triangle. Ideal as a solitaire style, the trilliant shape can be a blunted or very sharp triangle, largely depending on the diamond cutter as well as the natural shape of the stone. Other new shapes include flowers and hearts, ideal as central stones or solitaires.
If you don't want to be on the cutting edge of fashion, going back to the traditional classics can also be a way to be trendy without taking risks. Antique engagement rings are always in style and can be a great place to get ideas for custom ring designs or to select the perfect engagement ring.
Combining both modern and antique or sticking with one or the other is largely up to the individual, but either option is definitely worth considering. Often the term antique tends to be confused with simple. In reality some of the antique jewelry, especially when it comes to art deco style engagement rings, is going to be anything but plain or simple. This elaborate design style often includes free form types or rings as well as lots of additional stones and colors.
Raising the diamond off the band of the ring is common in most types of the classic engagement rings. Unlike modern styles filigree, designs including flowers or scrolling types of designs were used to add to the design to the raised section. This detail work as often completed using white gold, platinum or yellow gold.
The Victorian style of jewelry design is one of the classic styles for engagement rings that have resurfaced as beautiful option. These rings can be either a combination wedding and engagement ring or they can be combined with matching wedding bands or even simple wedding bands.
Sticking with traditional engagement rings and styles and adding new touches is a great way to customize and modernize a traditional favorite. Of course there is nothing wrong with keeping engagement rings from the past exactly as they were originally designed as either way these rings are sure to be treasured.
