2012 Engagement Ring Trends

Halo Settings

The halo is heavenly and a perfect style for an engagement ring for a number of reasons. First, this style appears a little vintage, which has been a popular style for a few years now. Secondly and probably most importantly, the halo makes the center diamond appear larger, which is never a bad thing! The center stone can be a diamond or perhaps a sapphire, like Kate Middleton's engagement ring. Accent this ring with a diamond band or two, thin or thick, Diamond or colored stones. Whatever the style it's one that will last for a lifetime!

18ktw Round Diamond Engagement Ring
This is a great design that really shows off the center diamond...love it.

14ktw Peridot and Diamond Engagement Ring
This is a great ring design and one that's extremely eye-catching.

14ktw Marquise Diamond and Round Diamond Ring
A completely unique ring that has a great look and is very comfortable.

18kt White Diamond Ring
  A gorgeous ring with a big look.

14kt White Diamond Ring
A three stone diamond ring accented by round diamonds...this ring makes a spectacular right hand ring!  The best part is we repurposed diamonds from her mom's rings, so a very special ring.

Kristin's Thoughts:
This was a great project... the pendant was for a surprise birthday gift. All her friends sent in stones that created an eclectic collection of jewel shapes and colors. Once we had all the stones, we turned this design into a beautiful, one-of-a-kind Sterling  Silver and Yellow Gold bezel set pendant.

This is a great design.. To design a modern, square looking ring that is comfortable and shows the beauty of the look of the two stones. A very contemporary ring that turned out gorgeous.

This is one of my favorite engagement ring designs--a classic setting with a custom four prong head, which really shows off the diamond. 





The Courtenay
White gold ring with a prong set aquamarine accented by round brilliant cut diamonds

Kristin's thoughts:
This ring was designed after a ring idea seen in Italy. First, we found the brilliant blue aqua then designed the ring around it. It is slightly raised, but made so it can be worn comfortably.




 
The Kyle
White gold diamond engagement ring

Kristin's thoughts:
This is a classic setting that shows off the diamond beautifully.




The Cornic
Platinum engagement ring with a bezel set cushion cut diamond accented with round brilliant set diamonds

Making this engagement ring was awesome--he only wanted the best for his girlfriend. The ring turned out gorgeous and really shows off the center stone. Not only did the ring turn out beautifully, but the couple themselves is amazing.





The Sean
White gold ring with cushion cut blue topaz accented with round brilliant cut diamonds

Kristin's thoughts:
This ring turned out to be absolutely gorgeous. We found the center stone first and then a ring to accent it--definitely a right hand ring and at an affordable price!
 



The Ruth
White gold hammered ring with bezel set citrine
(Customer's stones)

Kristin's thoughts:
This was a fun ring to make. The customer had the stone and a ring idea, so we went at it and created the perfect ring.

 


The Stacey
White gold diamond engagement ring accented with round brilliant cut diamonds
(Customer's diamond)

Kristin's thoughts:
This was a fun project, partially due to the clients. There was sentimental value to the customer's center diamond, so we built the ring around it making sure the best care was taken.  The ring turned out beautifully and shows off the stone perfectly.




The Bradley
White gold engagement ring with pink tourmaline accented by round brilliant cut diamonds
White gold diamond eternity wedding band

Kristin's thoughts:
This band turned out gorgeous--nice big diamonds that really sparkled and accented the engagement ring. The band has a slight curve to fit against the ring, but not too much of a curve so that she can still wear it alone and have an elegant look.




The Margie
White gold wedding band with pave set diamonds

Kristin's thoughts:
We had a challenge with this one--the customer had an antique engagement ring and had no luck finding a matching band within her budget.  That's when we met and created the perfect band all within her budget.




The Evelyn
White gold  band with burnished set diamonds
(Customer's diamonds)

Kristin's thoughts:This ring was fun. The customer had her diamonds and an idea how she wanted these stones laid out, so we looked at different band widths and domes and created this one-of-a-kind band that's beautiful and very comfortable.




The Kopenhover
White gold diamond pave band

Kristin's thoughts:
This ring turned out better than anticipated--we needed a band to fit against the engagement ring, so found this band and altered it slightly to create an perfect match and one that really shows off the sparkling diamonds.




The Marla
Platinum wedding band with channel set round brilliant diamonds

Kristin's thoughts:
This band was made to fit against the engagement ring and with a European shank.  The curve is so slight that when it's worn by itself it looks elegant and full of brilliant diamonds.




The Susie
Yellow gold band set with round brilliant cut diamonds and baguette set diamonds

Kristin's thoughts:This band turned out really well. We wanted something wide that was reminiscent of a ring in the past. This ring did just that and turned out gorgeously.




The Berra
White gold diamond pave band
(Customer's diamonds)

Kristin's thoughts:
Every time I see this band, I think, I need to make one for myself! It's a unique band that you can wear everyday and really showcases the stones.




The HemptWhite gold ring with bar set mystic topaz accented with round brilliant cut diamonds

Kristin's thoughts:
This ring was made for some amazing people. We reused the customers stone for it was just a cool stone and created the ring to be similar to his past ring--it turned out very masculine and beautifully.



The William
White gold cufflinks with faceted stones and green tsavorites

Kristin's thoughts:
I designed these after finding the blue stones, which reminded me of water. I wanted a design that was a nautical inspiration and different, but one that was masculine yet beautiful.
