Coloured stones: From the six carat pink ring Ben Affleck bestowed upon Jennifer Lopez back in 2002 to Princess Diana’s oval sapphire diamond covered ring now on the left hand of bride to be Kate Middleton, hued gemstones are by far one of the biggest trends in engagement rings since the Princess Cut diamond.

  3. Pave settings: This style which gets its name from the French word for “paved” and it offers that extra bit of sparkle and dazzle to a ring, thanks to its multiple diamonds set close together, and is perfect for those who may be looking for something a bit different, but with a classic flair. The designs are often complicated and elegant with an air of sophistication.
  4. Classic white: Colours may be trendy, but white diamonds are still a vast seller. Round and cushion cuts are mainly popular these days, as are oval and emerald cuts.
  5. Conflict free: For the eco friendly gal, conflict free diamonds are the way to go just ask Black Swan star Natalie Portman, who is generous a vintage solitary diamond surrounded by a ring of conflict free diamonds. These gems are free from the spectre of violence and other human rights abuses that hangs over supposed “blood diamonds,” and are produced with minimal environmental impact.
