Engagement Ring Trends in 2007

Engagement Rings with pave Diamond Ring's beauty, but not the cost. An even cheaper alternative is to use a non-Diamond Ring shank, which the stones are inserted into. The solitaire chips used are all roughly the same size and luster. After the stones are located into the band, petite amounts of metal are molded over the edge of each solitaire chip, keeping them in place. Pave bands typically use tiny prongs to hold solitaire chips in place. This helps to make the row of Diamond Rings or anniversary bands.

Old miner cut solitaire engagement rings preceded the invention of the light bulb. Hence, the Diamond Rings, as with other early gemstones in the 18th and 19th century, were cut and polished by hand. As a result, no two diamonds were alike, each having variations in shape and facet size. Today, thanks to technological advances, machines do all the work, sacrificing the character derived from old methods of cutting for perfection. However, ancient diamonds often possess incomparable life and uniqueness. This has resulted in the price of old cut diamonds skyrocketing in up-to-date years.

Old mine cut diamonds are often seen in Georgian and Victorian jewelry. Miner cut diamonds date back to the 1830's and maintained their popularity till the end of the century. The cut has a round shape, high crown, and faceted culet. Often the facets come together at the lowest of the solitaire and leave a small flat surface.

When evaluating ancient diamonds such as the miner cut, they cannot be judged by contemporary standards. ancient diamonds were cut to maximize carat weight, not brilliance. Often times the proportions of ancient diamonds vary dramatically from contemporary diamonds.

The old mine cut solitaire is the earliest form of the contemporary brilliant cut. The contemporary Cushion Cut solitaire resembles the old mine cut, but the Cushion Cut gemstone is more rectanglur shaped.

Traditional, and more common, metals are gold and platinum; however, we've seen an increase in metals like titanium. Titanium is lightweight, looks similar to platinum, and is highly durable.

Low Profile Rings - With our ever-increasingly busy lives, we have a lot more duties to deal with on a day-to-day basis, and many brides-to-be worry about their rings getting damaged because of high-profile settings (i.e. A brilliant ring that sits way up off the band).

Colored Stones - Color is still on the rise ever since its major "rush" in the early 2000's (think Jennifer Lopez's canary brilliant engagement ring), and it doesn't appear to be going away any time soon. Brides in any place are trying to put a more modern, spicy twist on the old-fashioned engagement rings.
