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

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.
