Now, more than ever, engagement bands are colorful and decidedly unique.  Multi-stone settings, non-traditional metals and pave semi-precious and precious stones are getting into the mix and it's certainly a mix. Engaged couples who are looking to express their individuality and love in ways that are fashionable and personal will find many beautiful, colorful ways to say, "I do."

Platinum, yellow and white gold remain popular, but rings in rose gold and non-traditional metals are making resounding wedding bell sounds.  Sterling silver bands are even making a showing with 18kt or 22kt yellow gold accents. Arman's pinched bands are infused with a blend of dark romanticism, 22kt and a touch of brilliant diamonds. A touch of nature has found it's way into K. Brunini's Twig band collection in 18kt white gold and blue sapphires. Sylva & Cie have come out with options that include mixing it up with different widths, textures and stones.

Traditionally, wedding bands have been worn as a complement to an engagement ring, but some brides are choosing stackables to personalize their look. There are many reasons to add to their precious and semi-precious stackables. Anniversaries, births of their children and personal milestones. Stacking these multi banded rings give the illusion of one thick band, but gives the wearer a personal history and versatility.

If stacking isn't your style and you would prefer a more substantial look, go for the diamond band with the illusion of stacking, but with the ease and practicality of one single band, like Shoshana's crisscross diamond ring.
 
Your engagement ring and wedding band should reflect your personal style.  Choose a look that feels timeless, but unique.  Your jeweler will be an immense help, educating you not only on diamonds, but the best look and style for you.
