WHISPER-THIN BANDS If you want your diamond to take centerstage, a petite band is for you! This engagement ring style stole the show in 2021. The juxtaposition of the thin band with a large center stone are two anomalies that work together beautifully. A petite band will bring the full attention to your diamond, making it appear larger and more noticeable.
Pro tip: Bring some color back into your wedding set! Yellow gold is still glittering in the jewelry scene, especially in bridal jewelry. Yellow gold complements all skin tones and really sets off the fiery sparkle of your center diamond.

OVAL BANDS Alternatively to the thin, simple bands are oval bands. Blinged-out bands typically consist of round diamonds, but we are seeing increasing requests for rings set with ovals all around the band. Ovals appear similar to round diamonds in regard to brilliance and sparkle. Oval shapes offer glamour, luxury, and elegance in design, while maintaining a modern feel — especially when applied in a unique way, such as set in the engagement ring band. This also looks great when paired with an oval wedding band!

HIDDEN HALOS Hidden halos have become one of the biggest requests for rings in 2021, and we expect this sweet ring of delicately placed diamonds to stick around for quite some time. A hidden halo is a modern twist on a classic halo, featuring tiny round diamonds secretly tucked underneath the center stone. Especially exquisite in a cathedral setting, hidden halos offer you that extra bit of sparkle while maintaining a solitaire look.
