If you want to check out the following trending engagement rings in Bergen County in person, we invite you to stop by F. Silverman Jewelers’ showroom in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey. We will help you find the perfect engagement ring for your partner.
Keep it Simple
Nothing says “engagement” like a solitaire setting featuring a single, center-mounted gemstone with a simple band. This elegant style dates back centuries to ancient civilizations and amazingly remains just as desirable among today’s couples.
Alone, a classic solitaire engagement setting highlights the beauty of the center stone. But it also pairs well with multiple bands to create the perfect stack. Use your engagement ring to symbolize the start of your union and add new rings beside it years to celebrate memorable events and milestones throughout the years.
Rock a Bold Band
Engagement rings don’t have to be dainty or delicate. This year, we’re seeing a demand for less conventional styles, including rings with thicker shanks and settings. With the added surface area, a chunkier metal band makes as much of a statement as the primary gemstone itself. Engagement rings with multiple bands are also gaining popularity, as they incorporate the appearance of a ring stack in a single piece of fine jewelry.
The Magic is in the Hidden Details
Consumers are also adding subtle and surprising details to engagement bands this year. These engagement rings offer more than meets the eye, from unique prong shapes and scrolled bands to engraved messages and strategically placed accent stones.
Hidden halo engagement rings are among the most popular styles in this category. They feature a gemstone and a gemstone halo band that surrounds the center stone. The band isn’t initially visible from a face-down view but, when viewed from the side, adds unexpected sparkle and dimension.
Embellish with Colored Gemstones
Couples are becoming more playful when choosing their gemstones. Of course, diamonds will never go out of style. But more F. Silverman Jewelers’ clients are personalizing their engagement ring sets with gems that have special meaning, like birthstones representing each spouse or colored stones that reflect their personal style.
Go For a Gender-Neutral Ring
Of course, engagement rings are not just for brides. More brides are proposing to their future grooms, and same-sex couples are also embracing the tradition of commemorating their commitment with an heirloom piece of jewelry. When it comes to non-traditional engagements, there is no limit to your creative options.
Some clients propose with a classic center-stone setting ring, while other couples choose their wedding sets together, many opting for nontraditional shapes and settings. Matching unisex bands are also popular with many LGTBQ+ couples. At F. Silverman Jewelers, we offer a wide variety of rings from the industry’s top jewelers, and we work with couples to custom-design wedding ring sets to their specifications.
