We ADORE these.
When it comes to engagement rings, some of the shapes are definitely more popular than others – and, of course, there are always new trends emerging every year.
And while we’ll always love the classical looks, Pinterest’s 2018 Wedding Report has shown that there’s a few new styles that couples are turning to when it comes time for the big question.
Whether you’re looking at inspiration for when you pop the question to your other half or simply just want a peek at what trends are up-and-coming, there’s no denying that these are stunning.
If you’re looking beyond the classic diamond, you’ll love the most popular trend of the year.

Moissanite gems are proving to be a hit this year, with searches for the predominantly lab-created gem up by almost 300 per cent.
Seen as a more affordable alternative, moissanite has a warmer – and more colourful – brilliance than a diamond.
And 2018 also looks set to be the year of the Art Deco engagement ring, with searches up 173 per cent.

Perfect for both traditionalists and people who want something a bit more unique, the vintage-looking style can be easily customised for the wearer.
With any kind of metal, stone and combination of gems available to be used, it’s easy to see why people are turning to the antique look.

Less is more in the final trend for the year, with oval-shaped stones rounding out the top three most-desired rings.
Searches are up 125 per cent year on year for the style, which offers a understated and elegant look – or can be turned into something more extravagant as part of a more intricate setting.
