If you’re on the hunt for the perfect ring, consider these gorgeous 2019 engagement ring trends. For stunning rings that will perfectly represent your love, check out these beautiful styles.

Pear Shaped Diamonds

Pear-shaped diamonds will be one of the biggest engagement ring trends in 2019. This look graces the hands of many celebrities, including Hailey Bieber, Priyanka Chopra, and Victoria Beckham.

Oval Cut Diamond Rings

These elegant rings are neither a harsh square or perfect circle. They’re lovely, soft ovals that look beautiful in a range of sizes.

Oval rings radiate romance with their curves and sparkle. These stones are stunning in settings with other stones or as a solitaire.

Cushion Cut Diamonds

The cushion cut gemstone is timeless. Its large facets showcase the diamond’s brilliance, while the rounded corners are the perfect romantic touch. Sophisticated and soft, this cut is especially beautiful in antique and vintage-style settings as the center stone.

Multi-Stone Rings

You don’t have to stick with a solitaire. Many engagement ring styles today include side stones in a variety of shapes, not just round diamonds. These shapes include trillions, pears, baguettes, and triangle cuts.

Multi-stone rings are high impact. This stack of diamonds makes for a serious stunner of a ring.

Mixed Metals

Mixed metals have gloriously turned up on the engagement ring scene this year. Using a white metal like platinum or white gold for the diamond setting and another more colorful metal for the ring can really make a diamond stand out.

Yellow Gold

White gold and platinum have been popular for years, but this year yellow gold has made its comeback. No longer locked in the eighties, this brilliant, rich metal creates a lustrous backdrop for gemstones, especially diamonds.

Split shank rings are particularly pretty in yellow gold. A split shank ring has a band that parts as it meets the center setting.

Gold works beautifully with diamonds and gemstones of all colors. It looks great in many settings, including vintage, classic, and contemporary styles.

This metal is also gorgeous in Roman-inspired ring settings. You’ll want to learn more about these captivating Italian pieces if you’re considering yellow gold.

Antique Rings

If you’ve got something more one-of-a-kind in mind, antique rings are a wonderful choice. Because they’re handmade and usually feature intricate details and tiny accent diamonds, their popularity has recently grown.

Antique rings are a little piece of someone else’s life and love story. A ring with history is appealing to dreamy brides-to-be.

Hidden Pavé Accents

If you love the idea of a timeless look and intricate, subtle details, a ring with hidden pavé accents could be the one.

Pavé settings consist of many tiny gemstones that are attached by small metal droplets. This gives the appearance of a surface that has been “paved” with gemstones.

Hidden pavé settings feature these tiny stones mounted beneath the center setting so they’re not seen right away. You’ll have to study the ring and look more closely to see the details.

Micro Pavé

Pavé settings don’t have to be hidden! These tiny diamonds add extra sparkle and beauty to the band of the ring. If they’re added to the sides and top of the band, micro-pavé settings make a ring glimmer from all angles.

These settings are far from gaudy. Because the stones are so small and are set into the band, they give a delicate, shimmery look.

Diamonds that Don’t Fit the Mould

Traditional round cut, clear diamonds aren’t the only way to go when it comes to engagement rings. Many modern brides are interested in imperfect stones or unique stone cuts. These diamonds may have been considered unsuitable before, but are treasured for their one-of-a-kind look now.

Accent Colors

Some brides are stepping away from the previously popular all-white diamond settings. 2019 trends are sweeping in colorful additions to engagement rings.

Sapphires, emeralds, rubies, and other vibrant and richly colored stones make charming accents and also make diamonds stand out even more.

Stacked Rings

What could be better than an engagement ring? Multiple engagement rings! Stacked rings are climbing the popularity latter fast this year, and designers are happy to oblige.

Stacked rings are more than one band that stack together to form a stunning arrangement of shiny metal. These bands add visual interest as well as size impact.

In addition to stacked bands, some designers have created ring styles that are single bands but have the appearance of a stacked ring set. These might be more practical for some who need something more simple but want the look of multiple rings.

Creative Halos

A halo setting encircles a center stone in micro-pavé or pavé set stones. This gives the visual effect of a much larger center stone. It can make smaller center stones look up to a half carat bigger. It can also make center stones that are already large appear huge.

Halos aren’t just for traditional diamond cuts, however. This year halo designs are getting more creative. Delicate details and unique shapes are winning over the more common cuts.

Asymmetry

Not everyone has a thing for perfect symmetry when it comes to jewelry. Designs with subtle asymmetrical settings are distinctive and elegant.
