of stone being set so simply that it<br />
gives the appearance of the stone<br />
floating on the finger. Skinny bands<br />
with various shaped diamonds and<br />
different coloured precious stones<br />
become the feature of this ring.<br />
2. The more contemporary version<br />
of the classic Trilogy ring sees petite<br />
side stones and pear cut diamonds<br />
being a popular choice and once<br />
again, skinny rounded bands allow<br />
the stones to be the hero of the ring.<br />
We are also seeing a big demand for<br />
Trilogy rings where all three stones<br />
are a similar size or where a striking<br />
blue sapphire or red ruby is used as<br />
the centre stone making a beautiful<br />
statement.<br />
3. Even though there has been a<br />
subtle shift to simplicity this year, the<br />
ever popular Halo design never fails<br />
to deliver. With a choice of centre<br />
stone, this stunning design can be<br />
adapted to suit every pocket and<br />
style. Tiny brilliant cut diamonds set<br />
closely to frame the centre stone<br />
add an extra sparkle to any shaped<br />
diamond or coloured stone.<br />
4. Every bride-to-be wants to make<br />
her ring unique which is why bespoke<br />
made rings are so popular. Getting to design your own ring from scratch allows<br />
for a myriad choices in size and colour with different shaped diamonds and<br />
coloured stones being the most popular ways to ensure each ring takes on a<br />
style of its own.<br />
5. A subtle addition of almost undetectable details in the ring is a highly sought<br />
after feature. The inclusion of a secret halo is the perfect way to add a little<br />
personality and sparkle to an otherwise simple ring.<br />
6. While rose gold is still a popular choice, yellow gold is the most sought after<br />
metal for rings this year. Two -tone rings are another favourite and can give a<br />
slight vintage look to a ring.<br />
7. To complement their wedding rings, brides are mostly choosing minimalistic<br />
tiny claw set diamond bands or twisted bands which are worn alongside their<br />
rings. A new trend however, has been the introduction of new bold chunky<br />
bands which are worn alone as a statement piece.<br />
Gents rings have followed the trend with more minimalistic bands also mainly<br />
in yellow gold. Hard wearing black carbon fibre rings are a<br />
practical and durable and also very popular.<br />
