We talked with our master jewelry designer, Simon Mattar, about ring styles he thinks will be popular in 2012. A simple solitaire may be a classic (and safe) choice, but you can also let your imagination run wild with these dazzlers.
Gems of Many Colors
If you or your fiancée enjoy less traditional styles, colored engagement rings are a good bet. There are precious stones in almost any color you can think of, from pink diamond engagement rings to other colorful gems like beryl, sapphires, and rubies.
Take Your Settings to New Heights
One of Simon’s specialties when creating San Diego custom jewelry is designing detailed, elevated ring settings that are very hot right now. This 3-D look gives you more surfaces to embellish and attracts light and attention from every angle, giving your center stone an even brighter spotlight.
Surrounded by Diamonds
Current styles loaded with diamonds are a big hit among brides and designers alike, partly thanks to Prince William offering his mother, Princess Diana’s, engagement ring to Kate Middleton upon their engagement. A dazzling diamond or other gem can get lots of help from its surroundings. Not only do added smaller diamonds bring tons of sparkle, but they can also make the center stone look larger.
Bands that Twist and Turn
It’s not just the stones that get more attention in current ring designs. San Diego custom jewelers are creating rings with bands that twist and turn, combine, and even braid together. From swirling diamond bands to more streamlined metal twists, this may be the contemporary look that works for you.
Glamorous Vintage Looks
Are you a more classic kind of bride? The intricate settings and metal and diamond detailing of heirloom styles are rich in history and provide classic looks that never go out of style. There may also be a beautiful ring handed down on either side of the family that can be repurposed with a new stone or setting, saving you the cash you’ll need to embark on your new life together.
Environmentally Friendly Rings
Let us know if it’s important to you to design the symbol of your everlasting love with a clear conscience. Rock N Gold Creations is committed to using recycled or repurposed gold settings as much as possible.
