Engagement ring trends evolve a bit slower than say clothing trends. But one thing is for sure that each year we see specific trends and only a few of them really stick! Here is a list of engagement ring trend predictions for 2018. We have seen these styles come out this year but in 2018 we think that they will really blossom!
Gem Stones
More and we are seeing the engagement ring trends move away from natural diamonds and towards center diamond alternatives like gem stones. Precious gem stones are unique in that each one possesses different shapes but most important different colors. This year we think that colored gem stone as diamond alternatives will be a huge hit. Check out our collection of color stone rings here and learn more about LAUREN B COLOR.

Super Stackable Bands
The super stackable band by Lauren B has been all the rage! Our super stackable rings feature a slim band with a “center stone” (or 2) of about 0.2-0.3 cts. The super stackable rings on our website all feature natural diamonds as the center gem. What is fun about these is you can set the main gems vertically or horizontally for a fun look. These are priced around $2500 and up for custom orders and make the perfect unique gift. We love that you can mix and match metal colors and diamond shapes to complement your engagement ring. Wear one or wear three-you cannot go wrong!

Hidden Halo
One of the top engagement ring trends we can see coming up in 2018 is the hidden halo. Our signature halo design has always been a favorite. However, we see people wanting a more subtle way to increase the size and look of their center stone. The hidden halo adds a very delicate rim around the center giving a slightly fuller appearance. You can see just a sliver of the halo stones peeking out for a subtle incraese in size!

Three Stone
Three stone engagement rings feature a main center diamond flanked by two (or even 4) larger side stones. We are definitely seeing classic ring designs ease their way back into the rotation. Previously three stone rings were though to be bulky or chunky. However, we have perfected the designs and love the outome! The beauty of our three stone rings is that we custom craft each one for a band to sit flush against it! The sides stones on the rings can either blend in with the stone for a fuller look or they can offer a contrast to allow your center gem to stand out. The combinations of cuts and stones are endless!

Pear Shape
Keeping with the trend towards elongated center gem shapes, pear shape diamonds are finally making a come back! We are noticing more and more people selecting this center diamond option as of late. Pear shape diamonds offer amazing value as they appear a lot larger than their size. Essentially you can opt for a smaller carat size center stone but achiever a larger look with a pear shape.
