Selecting an engagement ring is not a normal purchase.

Located in London’s Hatton Garden District, the team at Diamond Rocks have been keeping up with the latest trends and fashion styles for all things involving diamond jewellery, including diamond engagement rings.

So you ask the question, “What are the latest engagement ring trends for the second half of 2013?”

Shapes That Catch the Eye

Round diamonds are no longer the first choice when it comes to the cut of the diamond. Brides are looking for other traditional cuts including emerald cut, cushion cut, and radiant cut diamonds. Certainly this trend will continue to change throughout the year, but traditional cuts like the princess cut will never go out of style.

Larger is better

It’s really nothing new, but brides have spoken loud and clear on this topic. Bigger is better when it comes to diamond engagement rings. Brides that are selecting solitaire engagement rings are only interested in diamonds weighing in at one carat or larger.

Vintage is making a Comeback

Inspired by all the popular television shows and blockbuster movies that have filled the big screen earlier this year, brides are now looking to bring back the vintage style of the 1920s and 1930s to the engagement ring market.

Colour Diamonds are Becoming Popular

Trend setting brides have taken notice of the Hollywood brides and now want to get in on the coloured diamond and coloured gemstone action. In addition to coloured stones, brides are also taking notice of the different types of metals being used for engagement rings. No longer are classic yellow gold and white gold bands the most popular metals. Now you have to consider palladium, platinum, and even silver again.
