With the impending mistletoe mayhem and
New Year's Eve celebrations just weeks away,
engagement season is about to be in full swing!
According to The Knot, 16% of couples get
engaged in December, making it the most
popular time to become betrothed. In prep-
eration for all of those in-love couples that will
make it offi cial over the upcoming holiday
season, we have gathered the newest rings from a
selection of the industry's most talented
designers. Here are the six top trends guaran-
teed to bring a yes to any girl's lips.
Classic…with a Twist
For an updated take on the classic solitaire,
look no further than these options from
Michael B. and Danhov. Available in a range
of metals, and customizable to fi t a variety of
carat weights, both rings evoke the symbolism
of two lives becoming one.
Modern Mademoiselle
From mundane to modern! The geomet-
ric take on this solitaire setting from Aspen
Diamond, transforms a classic round bril-
liant diamond into a chic, on-trend look for
the woman who wants to live on the 'edge'.
Delicate Details
Handcrafted? Milgrain? Engraved? Filigree?
Working directly with a designer to review
all of the endless details and options to cre-
ate a customized ring is a dream of many
jewelry-loving ladies. Erika Winters' Iris ring
is a shining example of true attention to de-
tail. Engraving a word, message or date on the
inside of the band can be another way to truly
personalize a ring.
