As we are waving goodbye to 2010, the web and newspapers had been populated with celebrity engagement pictures showcasing their expensive and flashy personalized jewelry. Some of the newsworthy are as follows:
Sexy siren and Transformer actress Megan Fox wedding with spouse Brian Austin Green was noted with elegant vintage inspired engagement ring with its detailed engraving work. Vintage rings have a sweet, elegant style with sophistication. For a more diverse ring, other opted to add heirloom pieces into the ring's design for sentimental purposes.
The recently held Nicole Ritchie and Joel Madden wedding on the hand created buzz with their micro pave engagement ring style. The trick here is smaller diamonds are added in the center diamond, maximizing the brilliance of their platinum engagement rings. Pave diamonds are smaller more economical stones that closely fit together to give your ring a big diamond' look.
Birthstone necklaces or I may say colored center birthstone was Carrie Underwood's pick. That was also the case with the Spanish actress Penelope Cruz whom sapphire was the centerpiece of her platinum engagement ring. Platinum's natural color maximizes the brilliance of any colored birthstone centerpiece.
Colored engagement rings become the trend among celebrities; yellow, black or blue birthstones set in platinum are increasing popular because of their non-traditional and eye catching appeal. No wonder Prince William gave her girlfriend Kate Middleton his mothers jewelry; a platinum 18-karat blue sapphire, surrounded by diamond stones.
Most of the engagement rings mentioned above used platinum and diamond eternity band. Platinum's strength makes it the most secure setting for diamonds in all sizes. It is the preferred metal for a ring like your wedding band that you'll wear every day.
For the coming year, I will not be surprised if the look for engagement rings has floral motifs, colored gemstones and classic styles, as these styles had been prominent in this year's last quarter.
