It seems like we’re falling into a never ending rabbit-hole of engagement trends. From pink diamonds and pear perfection to avocado proposals and the oh-so-magnificent marquise, you’d think you’ve seen everything. Although, we know all too well that quirky ways to say ‘I’m engaged!’ will continue to roll in forever.

So what’s the cat’s pyjamas when it comes to the latest and greatest in engagement rings? Well, it’s all about a sparkly stack of bigger, bolder and better. Yep, the new trend is calling on ring combinations that mix soft yet striking cuts with dramatic bands. Think a beautiful brilliant diamond atop a heavy crystal indulgence. This one’s definitely for the fearless bride. So, here are three ideas to show you what the trend is all about, because you know, it’s tough keeping up with the Joneses.

Simple Diamond, Statement Band

The diamond isn’t taking centre-stage anymore. While bands are supposed to play the understated piece that compliments your rock, they are being reworked as a distinct accent that bring out a loop of chaotic beauty. The band below is proving most popular, with its edgy, unchartered raw design.

Mixing Textures

So maybe a band that can be seen from outer space isn’t your thing? Don’t worry, there are plenty of design varieties to suit every bride, like this exquisite craftsmanship from Diamond World Fine Jewellery  Boasting a stunning radiant-cut pink argyle centre, the gold diamond-encrusted band is the perfect finish to bring out the unique colours of this set. The core of this trend is experimenting with mismatched bands and having fun!

The Trifecta Stack

Thought the rings above were standout? This one takes creative flair to another level. The eclectic mix of gold and silver, the triple stack, and bold bands in the double, make this trend a truly extraordinary style. Forget about everything else, only the brave can sport stacks like these!
