The saying goes that “diamonds are forever.” What’s not so consistent are the style trends around them; those are always changing with the times. Birkat Elyon offers dazzling cubic zirconia rings that are virtually indistinguishable from the “real thing.” More couples are turning to us because our high-quality CZ jewelry includes more affordable and sustainable engagement rings. Here are some of the top trends in engagement rings.
THE ROUND CUT
Round-cut stones remain the most consistently popular engagement ring cut. This timeless shape is versatile and provides plenty of sparkle.
THE OVAL CUT
While the round-cut stone has been a top choice for years, the oval cut is rapidly gaining on it. Right now, it’s jumped up to claim 23% of the market. In recent years, celebrities including Blake Lively, Ariana Grande, and Kourtney Kardashian have opted for an oval-cut engagement ring. Perhaps it’s because the oval cut makes fingers look longer and more elegant.
SOLITAIRE RINGS
Where engagement rings may feature small stones along the sides of the “main event,” simplicity is making a big comeback. The popularity of the solitaire stone has jumped by ten percent in recent years. With such a stunning piece, you simply don’t need anything else.
YELLOW GOLD SETTINGS
White gold has had a good run, but as the perfect stone setting, yellow gold is hot on its trail. The subtle warmth of yellow gold adds another beautiful dimension to your engagement ring.
DIAMOND ALTERNATIVES
One of the biggest trends in engagement rings is getting away from real diamonds in favor of alternatives like cubic zirconia rings. Not only are diamonds costly, but mining them is not very earth-friendly. Modern couples find that cubic zirconia engagement and wedding rings save them money and satisfy their desire for beautiful jewelry that doesn’t harm the environment.
