There is nothing as simply beautiful as a perfect circle.
The true absence of a beginning or an end, to me, is the ultimate way to describe true love. Wedding rings are a timeless symbol of love and fidelity, but not all rings are created equal- use yours as a way to express your own personal style. After all, just like true love, your rings will last a lifetime!
Some trends to expect in 2011...
Framing Your Stone in Tiny Diamonds
Having your main stone surrounded in smaller diamonds gives your ring the illusion of a larger center stone, and definitely gives your ring added sparkle, brilliance and wow-factor!
Colored Stones
Using a colored center stone is a trend that has been magnified by Price William's recent proposal to Kate Middleton with a blue sapphire surrounded by diamonds. Using gemstones like rubies, emeralds, sapphires, or colored diamonds surrounded by smaller diamonds is a trend perfect for nontraditional couples, or those who wish to use a family heirloom on their wedding day.
Vintage-Inspired
Vintage rings, specifically styles designed between 1930-1950, have been leading the wedding trends for the past decade. Deeply embellished bands, intricate settings, and unique diamond cuts give these bridal sets a true sense of timeless style.
Whether you choose a timeless classic or a modern trend, just remember -- it's not the size of your diamond or the precious metal that makes your wedding rings valuable -- it's the promise of eternal love, friendship, and fidelity with your one and only.
