Discover the Top Diamond Trends for 2021

If you've never shopped for an engagement ring before, then you can be forgiven for assuming all bridal jewelry is created equal. On the contrary, diamond rings come in a wide array of shapes and styles, with new looks cropping up each year. Whether you're seeking something modern or traditional, vintage or out-of-the-ordinary, read on to discover the most stunning new diamond trends for 2021.

Oval Cut

Round diamonds may be traditional, but oval cut rings are a top choice for 21st century brides. Considered one of the more romantic stone choices, oval diamonds have an air of femininity that makes them look incredible in engagement rings of all kinds. The style is particularly lovely when paired with a vintage-inspired rose gold ring. As a bonus, oval diamonds boast greater surface area than round-cut stones of the same shape. If your bride-to-be wants to glitter like the stars, an oval diamond is a brilliant choice.

Pear Shaped

Sometimes referred to as teardrop diamonds, pear-shaped stones are an uncommon option for brides who like to go against the grain. A hybrid of a marquise and a round diamond, this cut is both stylish and graceful, modern and elegant. Since pear-shaped diamonds are relatively rare, she'll be confident in the knowledge that her ring is truly distinct. We love the way this stone looks in simple settings, such as understated solitaires. Want a more standout look? Choose a vintage-inspired ring with side gems set in stunning pavé.

Trending Looks for the New Year

2021's most mind-blowing bridal jewelry features pear shaped and oval cut diamonds along with other top trends. Here are two of the collections we're most excited about for the coming year:

Simply TACORI

Love the look of a pear shaped stone? If so, this Simply TACORI engagement ring takes the daring center stone and mounts it horizontally. Also available in emerald and marquis cuts, these rings feature a sideways-placed stone along with plenty of exciting design touches, such as milgrain detailing on the striking cathedral setting. The end result is a contemporary, whimsical ring that's also sophisticated.

Simon G. Semi-Mounts

Another great option for those who appreciate unique ring cuts, the Simon G. Semi-Mounts collection is as lovely as it is unconventional. We're especially drawn to the lighting bolt rings in this line. Along with boasting a stunning pear or oval-shaped center stone, these designs include one-of-a-kind metalwork that slides around the finger like a serpent or bolt of lightning. It's a fun, fresh choice for the bride who scoffs at the traditional.
