Giving an engagement ring as a promise to marry the love of your life has been a tradition for a long, long time. Some say the ancient Egyptians started the trend and that the ancient Greeks adopted it. Others say it was the ancient Romans who started it all. And then there\u2019s the diamond engagement ring, which became wildly popular in the Western World in the 1940s.<\/p>\n

However it all began, the point is that today the diamond or cubic zirconia engagement ring<\/a> is still the everlasting symbol of love and one of the most important purchases of anyone\u2019s life. But you don\u2019t want just any engagement ring. You want a ring that\u2019s not only unique to your tastes but also one\u00a0 that reflects contemporary style \u2013 something that\u2019s an eternal reminder of that day when a knee was bent and you screamed \u201cYES!\u201d<\/p>\n

With that in mind, today we\u2019re taking a look at some of the hottest trends in engagement rings for 2014. Diamonds may be forever, but styles aren\u2019t. You want a ring that\u2019s a symbol of your time, and The Knot<\/a> recently broke down exactly the type of rings that are most often finding their way onto bride-to-be\u2019s fingers in 2014. Let\u2019s take a look!<\/p>\n

Floral Accents<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spring may be well behind us and winter might be on the way, but something is still blooming in 2014 \u2013 engagement rings. Ring designs that prominently feature vines, petals and other floral details are big this year, including those with little flower buds sprouting down bands. It\u2019s a style that\u2019s as feminine as it is romantic.<\/p>\n

East-West Settings<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vertical is out in 2014, and horizontal is in. An east-west stone setting makes for a fresh vibe and can trick the eye into thinking it\u2019s bigger than it actually is \u2013 a feature no one is going to complain about. It\u2019s recommended that oval-shaped, marquise or emerald cuts be chosen for the best horizontal setting results.<\/p>\n

Colored Stones<\/strong><\/p>\n

Particularly for those women with nontraditional styles, colored engagement rings are good choices in 2014. Fancier colors (pink, yellow) can be truly stunning, but they aren\u2019t your only options. Most people think of sapphires of being blue, and that is one great option, but they also come in yellows and oranges. Finally, rubies and emeralds are two more popular options this year.<\/p>\n

Double Halo Settings<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, it\u2019s true that the halo setting has been a popular one for a while now, but 2014 has seen an uptick in double-halo rings, which result in even more amounts of sparkling beauty!<\/p>\n

Mixed Metal<\/strong><\/p>\n

Platinum or gold? Yellow or rose gold? You could go back and forth on that debate in your head a million times and still not be sure. In 2014, many are avoiding making that decision all together. How? They\u2019re putting both or all three in mixed-metal bands.<\/p>\n

Twisting Bands<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s an old saying that \u201cit don\u2019t mean a thing if it ain\u2019t got that swing,\u201d and many engagement ring designers seem to be taking inspiration from it this year. Bands with unique twists ranging from artsy swirling diamond bands to streamlined braided takes on this approach bring a contemporary element to the classic solitaire.<\/p>\n

Art Deco<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking of swing, here\u2019s another nod to the 20s \u2013 art deco! This type of design may have faded from architecture long ago, but its timeless beauty and glamor is making a big comeback in engagement rings.<\/p>\n

Bows<\/strong><\/p>\n

How does a literal tying of the knot sound? To many women who\u2019ve said yes so far this year, it sounds pretty great. Engagement ring bands featuring bows allow you to embrace your feminine side, and the design can be mimicked on your wedding band too.<\/p>\n

Splashy Side Views<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be boring — add a little splash to the sides of your engagement ring! It\u2019s common to focus on the top of rings because that is the part of the ring that will be most often noticed. But if you\u2019re going to be wearing a ring for the rest of your life, don\u2019t you want every part of it too look fabulous? Of course you do, and that\u2019s why rings with splashy side views have taken off big time this year.<\/p>\n

Split Shank<\/strong><\/p>\n

We can all agree that a band full of diamonds is great, right? Well, what if you could have something even better? Pav\u00e9 bands that split in two make for rings that are twice as nice!<\/p>\n

Rose Gold<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pink is of course a historically feminine and beautiful color, but it\u2019s also a modern color for engagement rings. Rose or \u201cpink\u201d gold has made a tremendous comeback, and not just because it is pretty unto itself \u2013 it also flatters almost all skin tones!<\/p>\n

Cubic Zirconia<\/strong><\/p>\n
