Love never goes out of fashion, even during a global pandemic. But, the symbol of our affection, the engagement ring, follows trends in fashion. And, 2021 engagement ring trends are no exception. Whether you are going to pick an engagement ring from a selection in stock or want to design your own engagement ring, you will want to check out the 2021 engagement ring trends before you start.
Personalized Engagement Rings
The strongest engagement ring trend coming into 2021 is that couples want to personalize their wedding ceremonies and all of the details starting with the engagement ring. Come to us at ID Jewelry and our expert jewelers will help turn your unique ideas into reality. Many are looking for uniquely cut diamonds, custom-designed settings, or both. If you need to learn more about diamonds, other precious gems, settings, and precious metals, look through our diamond education section before starting to consider engagement ring details.
Band Style Engagement Rings
Another one of the 2021 engagement ring trends is the band-style engagement ring. This ring functions both as an engagement ring and as a wedding ring. Unlike a standard gold wedding band, a band-style engagement ring could be a crown bezel band with diamonds around the entire circumference similar to an eternity band. If you want ideas, check out our 0.40CT 18KT white gold round cut diamond pave eternity wedding band, 10.08CT 14KT white gold round cut diamond eternity wedding band, and 3.45CT 14KT rose gold oval cut diamond eternity band. Any of these would be an excellent choice or you design your own with one of these band-style engagement rings as a starting point.
A Return to Classic Engagement Ring Styles
Another one of the 2021 engagement ring trends is a return to classic styles. For some, this is a safe choice as they trust the tried and true. For others, it is simply an attraction to timeless beauty. Thus, solitaires and three-stone engagement rings are also popular as we go into 2021. Round, cushion and oval diamond cuts are popular and many are choosing fine platinum or white gold settings to accentuate the diamonds.
Traditional Heirloom Engagement Ring Styles
Some couples are making the move to classic styles a step farther with old European, heirloom-inspired diamond cuts. The choice may be driven by family tradition or by a desire for something solid during a time of uncertainty and separation from family. Vintage ring, cut, and setting details used for these engagement rings will not only be beautiful but may be used to establish continue old family traditions or establish new ones. An old European cut is the predecessor to the round brilliant cut that is so popular today. It is eye-catching and impressive. And, going with this sort of vintage engagement ring style will give you a truly unique ring.
