Say "I Do" to the Biggest Engagement Ring Trends of 2018

If you want a sparkly stone but you still want something a little out of the ordinary, how about dropping a few hints about a grey diamond? Shades vary hugely, but opt for a darker one for maximum stormy impact.

Undoubtedly inspired by Meghan Markle's own engagement ring, three-stone settings are back in fashion — and better than ever. They'll be the perfect statement piece for any classic bride-to-be.

If pear-shaped diamonds aren't doing it for you, then how about something more geometric like a hexagon? You'll really be able to have fun with this modern shape, from cut to colour and setting.

Carrie Bradshaw might have hated the pear-shaped ring that Aidan bought her, but they're coming back into fashion in a big way. Pair yours with a curved wedding band for maximum impact.

Double bands are becoming more and more popular — just ask Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner — and they'll be a great choice if you don't want to wear a wedding band alongside your engagement ring. If you'd like to go for a two-in-one look, it might be worth having a discussion with your SO or designer.
