Ethical diamonds are all the rage. Here are some created diamonds set in styles that are popular this year.
Three Stone Engagement Rings
Three Stone Engagement Rings
The newfound popularity of this dazzling ring is no doubt a result of the royal wedding this year. Meghan’s ring - a cushion-cut 3 carat diamond with two smaller stones flanking the larger one - is a classic version of the style. Its contrasting diamond sizes accentuate the 3 carat stone and allow for a sparkling stream of light to flow through. Three stones usually signifies past, present, and future. Equal sized diamonds can look good too. The ring above is set with a created diamond. Click here to view price.
Four Pointed Pave Blossom
This ring is all about effortless elegance. This classic four-pronged setting is accentuated by a sparkling band of Pave diamonds. The band is rounded and the Pave slightly recessed for the most comfortable fit, making this ring truly stunning yet practical enough for everyday wear. This ring will sit flush with a wedding band.

The ideal halo, the Alyssum Pave Halo Engagement Ring was designed with beauty, form and function in mind. A central diamond is held in place by four petal-shaped prongs, custom made to fit the diamond size and shape of your choice. A delicate row of Pave encircles the stone and continues around the band for maximum brightness and sparkle. This beautiful ring will sit flush with a wedding band. Halos have been very popular this year. Click here to view price
OPEN RINGS
OPEN RINGS
This beautiful ring style has come into its own this year - due, in part, to the increased popularity of stacking rings (for which this style is a natural pairing.) Also, with its elegant shape and curvature, an open ring is very flattering, plain and simple. Also, with an open cuff, the bride has an opportunity to wear two stones instead of one.

EAST WEST SETTINGS
EAST WEST SETTINGS
An east-west setting refers to when a stone is placed horizontally on the ring band instead of vertically. The effect can be very sleek and modern, and best stones for this setting are radiant cuts, emerald cuts, and oval cuts. The beauty of this style is that it’s both timeless and classic, but also different enough to be noticeable.
OVAL CUT DIAMONDS
OVAL CUT DIAMONDS
While the Round Brilliant is still the most popular cut of the diamond, oval cuts are becoming increasingly sought after. The reason is that the elongated shape of oval cut diamonds can make your finger look more slender. The classic “length-to-width” ratio is 1.4mm by 1.6mm, but buyers can change ratios depending on their own preference.
