- Diamond solitaire – Despite many couples moving away from tradition, the diamond solitaire is still the most sought-after engagement ring design; a large central stone in a solitaire setting. Even with so many new designs, the solitaire is one of the most popular engagement rings in Australia and will be for a long time to come. If you would like to have your diamond solitaire engagement ring designed and hand-crafted by a skilled custom jeweller, Google is your best friend and can take you to the website of a top-rated Sydney custom jeweller.
- Square and rectangular gemstones – We aren’t talking diamonds here; sapphires, emeralds and amethyst are making a comeback. A single gemstone supported with a sturdy prong setting, with platinum being the preferred metal. Colour is very important with this style of ring, the deeper the better; the custom jeweller can access the wholesale gemstone markets and can select the right stone for you!
- Art Deco look – The 1920s were an amazing era when the colourful and grand style of Art Deco was unleashed on the world at a huge Paris exhibition; talk to a Sydney-based custom jeweller about Art Deco ring designs, set a budget and have the ring of your dreams made by a skilled artisan. Halo settings are all the rage and with pave diamonds, you can make that central stone look huge! Click here for top tips when choosing a wedding dress.
- Twin diamonds – A staggered pairing, slightly offset, with a heart setting and pave diamonds, preferably pink, with a choice of white or rose gold. Ovals are popular this year and a custom jeweller can source loose stones at wholesale prices, then have them cut and polished, ready to be inserted into the ring.
- Black diamonds in yellow gold – For a stunning ring that gets everyone’s attention, why not have a custom jeweller source black diamonds and have them set into a yellow gold setting? If you are a girl who sets trends rather than follows them, lead the way with a sexy and sultry design contrasting jet black with shiny yellow.
- Pink Argyle diamonds – The world-famous Argyle Mine doesn’t produce diamonds anymore, but there are still premium pink Argyle diamonds available and the custom jeweller can save you around 15% on rough diamond acquisition. As far as design goes, you have carte blanche when you commission a leading Australian custom jeweller and he can work to your budget.
As you can see, there are quite a few popular engagement ring designs here in Australia and we hope you find the right design for your symbol of an eternal love.
