Top Engagement Ring Trends for 2016 from Diamonds Direct

Whether or not you have someone in your life right now, most of us have thought about what kind of engagement ring our heart desires.  Especially now that Valentine’s Day is coming up, it’s only natural that our minds wander to the possibility of what the holiday could solidify in our relationships. If you’ve looked at engagement rings before with your special someone, you may find all the options overwhelming. We’ve teamed up with Diamonds Direct to bring you some top engagement ring trends of 2016.

  1. Halo: You’re probably thinking that this trend is not necessarily new, but because of it’s popularity it has remained a trend throughout the past few years.  I mean, what’s better than some extra sparkle to show off your diamond?
  2. Princess Cut: Classic rings never go out of style and the princess cut has always been a top choice amongst brides. It’s one of the more affordable cuts and just simply beautiful.
  3. Open Setting: What better way to show off your diamond than by letting it stand alone?
  4. Cushion Cut: Think a mix between a rectangle and an oval; and you’ve got a nice rounded diamond with a slight square shape.
  5. Delicate Silhouettes: Classic elegance has been quite popular this year, as brides are opting for a thinner and petite band than the past few years. These bands really accentuate the main diamond and can be found in all shapes.
